it is funny how many leftists, particularly internationally, are waving the Zohran flag while fundamentally misunderstanding why Zohran is as popular as he is (he actually gives a shit about making housing more affordable and combatting crime, not just LARPing as a authoritarian communist)

I know this is unpopular but I actually think Backrooms was my second favorite horror movie of the year. I've liked it better than most any other horror movie before or since then (only exception is Bone Temple, but I love love love the new 28 Year Later movies. What a delightful surprise).

Singling out Newsom doesn't seem fair. Not a single state achieved any of these items. They're all easier said then done, and not at all controlled by governors.

The developers are willing to fork over pallets of cash to invest into our grid, which is filled with amortized assets at end of life. Idk how we can afford to say no. I'm basically at the point now where I think anything that increases utilization of the grid is defacto Good.

Joe Biden passed the biggest climate change legislation ever and it has been crickets. Environmental groups gave him little credit for it (and many seem to be focused on Israel rather than the environment now?) and discussion of climate issues has moved from view. Did it ever really matter to them?

I got a poll text and one question was "What is your opinion of charter schools and selective enrollment scools?" I have very different opinions on those two things. Way to spoil your own poll question bozos. I put "No opinion" because I refuse to let either one push me to rate improperly.

Average rents in Lincoln Square have gone up 25-35% in the last five years. As of 2023, 44% of renters pay over 30% of income on rent. Lincoln Square+North Center have lost 12% of affordable units due to conversions and lack of building. These are policy failures unaddressed by Ald. Matt Martin.

So what is the steel man case against the Quantum Center being built on the South Side? Like there does seem to be some antagonism towards it, that I am quick to dismiss as NIMBY bs towards a genuinely good project, but what is the most good faith argument for what they are trying to accomplish?

Brought to you by city council being asleep at the wheel when it comes to housing policy — $2300/mo in Lakeview for a 1 bed is crazy — expect rents to be 7% higher by the time we have elections in February.
Rent 1/1 is $2295/mo

So the CTU-controlled CPS just passed a budget built on a fauly premise (funds from the state are incoming when it has made its budget already) to avoid making any cuts. Their reasoning is ridiculous. This is why I can't support CTU (or CPD, really) candiates to any office. Not serious people.

With 30% of the votes processed, Tisza is indeed right on the cusp of a supermajority (133 seats needed). And the results from Budapest and larger cities are usually underrepresented at this point.
