I gotta say: the number of people who are mad at me about Flock cameras in the quotes/replies here when I’m talking about normal traffic enforcement cameras makes me very worried about the unintended consequences of everyone getting (correctly) mad at Flock cameras!

There's a well-known, well-understand measure that could reduce almost everyone's electricity bills and rates and be implemented quickly without impairing new investments. Naturally, everyone hates it and rejects it out of hand. www.slowboring.com/p/a-great-id...

A great idea that everyone hates
A simple way to bring down utility bills is to charge what the electricity actually costs

Bass promoting fare-free LA metro is a really funny example of a politician attempting to pander but instead landing on a proposal that, within the community of people who care a lot about the issue, is a specific shibboleth for not knowing what you're talking about: bsky.app/profile/mayo...

The big news outlets (NYT, ABC, etc.) often dismiss their critics, particularly people who use social media. But the coverage of last night's speech was actually pretty honest---and therefore scathing. People on here and other places demanding less false equivalence/both sides are getting results.

Landlords can only get away with this stuff because NYC has a 1.4% rental vacancy rate thanks to decades of under-building new homes. Building more housing would force landlords to compete and take away their leverage to demand these invasive tenant screenings.
