Benefiting existing tenants at the expense of newcomers sounds like a result majoritarian democracy would produce. The argument for rent control is "you don't live here, we live here, we vote, tough shit".

They have the power to pay more for more services. The Feds even provide a tax deduction.

You have local control. If the residents wanted more money for schools they can literally vote for it. The whole point of my town in South Jersey is good schools so the residents fund them properly because it's still 1/3 the cost of Lawrenceville Prep.

1. They don't want competition over amenities (ie parking) either. 2. New development inevitably changes the character of a neighborhood, especially in terms of leftists. 3. Material abundance makes leftism less popular.

A two panel meme of the Simpsons. The top panel has kirk van houten gesturing to a race care bed. The text reads "im an AI guy. How many local models do YOU run?" The bottom panel is homer with a pope hat photoshopped onto his head. The bottom text reads "I run the catholic church."

Their wants are consistent, but they don't know how to express that in policy or the policy they desire is impractical. "I want an illegal immigrant to work in my household, but be scared to venture outside for 20 years."

In a marriage the concept of treating is often dealing with logistics. Setting up a party for someone is exhausting 😮‍💨

We need analysis on the concept of settling. Current research shows that it's better for a woman to be single than to have a deadbeat husband, but is deadbeat the only option when one "settles"? For example loser guys can arguably still provide for a family and be a reliable long term partner.

Likely a fun example of adverse selection bias! Good guys are too respectful to ask out leaving only the assholes. The solution is for women to take responsibility and start doing the asking. With great gender equality comes great gender responsibility.

I would just scrap the faux recline. On an NGAX they have trapped me when left in the extended position at a table. They aren't spring loaded so one has to physically sit and scooch it back.

They have this on Acela and they stick to the tables. One reason is that there are 2 or 3 rules qualified staff plus 1 or 2 more attendants.
