Reading about corporate lobbying against child labor laws in the 1920s and it's the same shit, they never change. It's socialism. It will destroy business. Leave it up to the states. Parents know better than politicians.

Hey y'all. I'm moving this week. When the national elections came down last year it started a timer for me. I love Denton, I love the folks here. I've massively enjoyed being involved here in the ways I have, and I can brag quite a bit about all the things I've participated in. (1/n)

In April, Coinbase announced changes to its user agreement that added two clauses limiting class action lawsuits and requiring lawsuits to be filed in New York. The changes apply to disputes initiated after May 15. On May 14, Coinbase disclosed a data breach.

thinking that the housing crisis is just “greed” completely fails to explain why housing costs in different cities move in different directions. why have Austin’s housing costs plummeted while NYC’s keep rising? did landlords in Austin decide to be less greedy? no, the city built a ton of housing

I think we should spend less time worrying about how affordable brand new homes are and more time worrying about how affordable existing older homes are.

anti-“transplant” politics really should be excised from the left. it’s just woke-washing xenophobia. we should build cities for everyone and welcome people who want to move, whether it be for economic opportunities, good schools, civil rights, or any other reason.

Alrighty. Election results are getting canvassed and winners are getting sworn in. Nothing too exciting here: 2 incumbents won unopposed, 1 won opposed, And 2 minor charter amendments passed. The big one is in June, to do the D3 runoff winner

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

it’s cool how we are redoing a Soviet style planned economy but instead of getting really smart people to actually study the inputs of production and demand levels (which still failed!) it’s just a senile boomer yelling out random numbers

Paris: 94 % of journeys are public transport, bike, foot. The number of car journeys: halved. Far fewer traffic fatalities, improved air quality, declining CO2. What impresses me is that people here are led towards a better future against great odds - while in Germany clocks are running backwards.

Put another way, when there are lots of vacant apartments, landlords have to compete with each other to attract tenants. When there are few vacant apartments, tenants compete for them. It'd be pretty extraordinary if this relationship did *not* generally hold.

sprawl is an unmitigated environmental, social, and economic disaster it is no longer affordable (especially when you add in transportation and time) sprawl is driving climate change. literally. and it is a ponzi scheme - unable to fund maintenance and replacement costs

Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.

America Needs More Sprawl to Fix Its Housing Crisis
The word has become an epithet for garish, reckless growth — but to fix the housing crisis, the country needs more of it.

For whatever reason, American planning and building codes mandate short, wide buildings that cover much of the lot. Personally I think this makes for less pleasant buildings and neighborhoods than European codes, which allow for taller, skinnier buildings with more open space.

Visiting my sister in SD. Her neighbors are mostly LGBT seniors. Was chatting one of them up and they talked about how difficult it is living in SD on a fixed income. Sounds bad, but they should rest easy knowing their city is laser focused on killing the wildly successful lower income ADU program

Car based mobility is expensive on a good day, but it's very expensive on a bad day. What's the over/under on damages from this fairly minor crash? Between car damage, first responder costs, and medical, maybe $30,000?
Elm at Sherman, three car crash, looks like they were all turning into each other or something. Not a ton of damage.
