“Homelessness is a social phenomenon and the number of homeless people depends on social conditions – not on the characteristics of individuals.… We know exactly how to make homelessness decrease again. It is a matter of choice: do we want to do it?” The right thing AND saves money. #HousingFirst

Ultimately, Helen has joined a conspiracy movement that believes — that *must* believe — doctors are incapable of diagnosing patients with conditions that can't be "proven" through objective metrics. This belief has become the lens through which she views all other political issues.

“1 mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, 1 mile driving is a $.20 loss.” “Which means that Copenhagen, a city of 1.2 million people, saves $357 million a year on health costs because something like 80% of its population commutes by bike.” The #’s may vary, but the truth is the same.

grist.org

One mile on a bike is a $.42 economic gain to society, one mile driving is a $.20 loss

Copenhagen, the bicycle-friendliest place on the planet, publishes a biannual Bicycle Account, and buried in its pages is a rather astonishing fact.

“Ever found yourself driving to the grocery store or coffee shop even tho it’s a 10-minute walk & perfectly nice day? New research suggests the reason isn’t just distance—it’s how the walk feels…it’s the sights, street life & amenities along the way that strongly shape whether people decide to walk”

New research finds that the experience of a walk plays a major role in whether people leave their cars behind.

One day, I'm going to write a thing connecting the use of "common sense" in politics to its use in philosophy. It reveals a lack of imagination and curiosity. An abject inability to question what you happen to believe. It's the sign of a specific kind of reactionary: an especially stupid one.

On the merits the business case for tourism, arts, and culture is much stronger than the business case for resource extraction. It's a highly-skilled industry that provides a unique product with a much lower opportunity cost. It's just also not gendered "super manly".

My favorite part of Houston's announcement was when he said resource extraction companies are going to come here, set up shop & spend money (before they destroy our environment & hide in tax havens). While ignoring that people who already live, work & spend money here are losing their livelihood.

Fillmore is saying that due to delays the cost of the forum have increased by about 300% so the clear course now is more delays which this time, unlike all the other times, will allow us to save money. It's not kicking the can down the road, it's an attempt to kill the forum.

Surely nothing bad has ever happened when a critical mass of the population feel that their future has been ripped out from under them and that the only thing they have to look forward to is the steady erosion of their standard of living. Surely that always turns out fine.
