so if you are under 35, honestly, this story isn’t for you
I realize it's supposed to be a joke, but just reminding you not to take this at face value. Friends of mine making 60k a year have afforded a house just fine through my state's first time home buyer's program (guaranteed a loan on your first home at low rates and little down), and I'm likely buying one next year. It's not all doom and gloom.
The US' immigration policy is very restrictive. The amount of people born still far exceeds the immigration rate.
Dogs generally don't kill the local wildlife whenever they go outside
I mean he's got a point tbh
Libraries have been doing it for ages, this isn't hugely different
Ah yes, police are known to release all information immediately and also news articles are absolutely known to do the same. Thanks for reminding me!
You're taking the worst possible interpretation and running with it. I recommend not doing that
They only issue here is that they stopped following the "one book one rental" rule. You're allowed to "rent" out a digital copy but only if you have a physical version of the book not lent out. They stopped doing that during covid
Okay on some level I agree with you, but "paying with exposure" is bullshit. If I like something I'll pay for it after the fact
What makes you think they didn't do that? Why is your default assumption that they just started firing?
You know that guns aren't the only way to hurt people, right? People can be killed quite easily
you would shoot a ~~drunk~~ guy, just because you feel threatened?
ftfu
How am I supposed to know if someone is drunk or not?
Their point is that developers are legally forced to build SFH even if demand says otherwise. Detached homes are a major tax burden on cities; their cost should reflect their real cost. If you want one, go ahead and get one (I will be doing the same!), but cities genuinely cannot be built to handle most of its land being single family, detached homes.
I may want a detached home for hobbies and space, but the most fun I've had to date was when I lived in a townhouse in the middle of the city and didn't need a car to get anywhere. Exploration and discovery is impossible in suburbia.
Hell, you can have suburbia, but it should still be walkable. And you do that by increasing the taxes on them (rightfully), adding regular busses, having bike lanes, including businesses in the mix, and having them not be so sprawling so that you are closer to the city itself.
