  • The flip side is when your state mandates allowing 4-6 homes on regular SFH plots and then your property value goes up because you can now build more housing

  • The alternative is that nothing gets built and people compete for the existing stock which drives up prices anyway

  • New construction is always more expensive. We should keep building anyway. The new construction of today becomes more affordable over time.

  • If you build enough housing it gets back into being economically competitive for the average person to own their home. Speculators can speculate until it doesn't make sense any more.

    We got into the current situation because we slowed way down on building homes.

  • I really don't see how building more houses/units is not the solution, at least in some cases. I live in a VHCOL area and we straight up have a housing shortage for a variety of reasons.

  • It really isn't, the area I grew up in has a ton of empty houses because people do not want to live there due to a lack of jobs and opportunity in general. The area I live in now has tons of NIMBYs blocking new housing development despite there being tons of jobs and opportunity.

  • Its often some combination of racism, corruption, and hating poor people yet relying on them for all sorts of things.

  • the yaed apple

  • I'm well beyond my youth and I've been following his campaign since early this year despite living very far away.

  • ITT people seem to assume that but no one has yet offered any amount of proof. I hope my company isn't relying on everyone clicking "Maybe later" to prevent spying on professional messaging. That would be a huge lawsuit vector for Microsoft if that were the case. And if your company is cool with MS spying on messages, MS is going to spy on messages no matter what you click, and they were already doing it before any click.

  • In terms of "use electricity to make heat" it still trounces resistive heating. This whole thread is arguing about the definition of efficiency.

  • I've gone back and forth with my opinion on Teams, but now I agree with you. Earlier there was a lot of shit talk about it, and it just worked for me with no problems. After all of the additional bloat (now we have Copilot in it) it crashes all the time.

  • I literally watched a cop throw a blast ball in 2020 and then subsequently use their own actions to declare a riot

  • My wife said this tonight and it really hit me: China will be eating burgers and America will be eating soy

  • It's a LARP until it isn't, and we're really approaching the point where it isn't.

  • Now do America

  • It also seems like a strange job program. I'm close with someone who works for a US company that incorporated in Ireland. The company is required to have a number of Irish employees who live in the country. Those employees don't do anything.

  • I know this is probably a repost but the self-censorship is super annoying and has entered the lexicon in ways that can permanently damage human communication as a whole.

    Yeah sure censor stuff from kid shows but we're at the point where "unalive" and "pdf file" are being used as code words. Everyone knows what they mean, even the censors.

  • They won't kill it, just like it hasn't died so far. The content, viewer demographics, and algorithm continue to shift. There's too much money with all the ads and subscription fees. Most people view some content on it by default.

    Its gonna be the new cable TV in a way. Kinda sucks, some good stuff on it, but mostly slop filled with ads. And everyone will still use it. Even if they block all 3rd party access, people like me are still going to use it to some limited degree. There will be a video about how to fix a random plumbing fitting that is leaking in my house, or how to fix some random thing on my 15 year old car.
