My take on rent control is simple: The Best rent control is landlords desperately trying to fill their vacant units because we have abundant housing and they have to compete on price or amenities or both. Build housing.

Every time people try to characterize the YIMBY movement as some sort of radical group for rich people interests all I can think of is how all my yimby friends are just policy nerds who can't afford how expensive housing is now. They tend towards well educated but that's about it

I need like a big sign to shove at politicians that just says "When normal people talk about 'Affordable housing' they mean affordable market rate housing, not subsidized housing" They want buying a place to be achievable, not an apartment subsidized by government or neighbours.

Cities have systematically denied the ability of anyone but high income people to move into an area and then are surprised that the only people left to try fighting for housing are high income. but that's a side effect of who is left, not who YIMBYism benefits.

To be less flippant here a jurisdiction adopting rent control is an admission they have failed to provide enough housing to keep prices reasonably stable and reaching for this tool and ignoring the demand that goes unmet instead of meeting the demand driving prices up.

The tech bro characterization really only makes sense in San Fran, and the reason the movement there is tech people is they're mostly the only people left who can even try to move there because housing is so expensive. It's high income people going "not even we can afford rent"

@againstwokeness @ContraPoints That would imply I somehow purposefully withheld something I didn't know at the time we got married. In the end I told her once I knew more about myself and we decided that all the other aspects of our relationship were more important than what my gender was.

@JennaDeuteros @punishedmother Nah it's pretty universal. Plenty of businesses stay small because they're run poorly by people who favour control over success. If you're a shitty employer you're unlikely to be good at growing relative to businesses that are less shitty.

@perdricof @SarahTaber_bww I'm trying to imagine if someone tried to pull this same shit with their family's historical stock portfolio. "I was forced to sell my shares in IBM! They've been in my family for generations!"

@BradleyEwing @cafedujord Often my problem with the left is nothing is their fault, it's systemic, but with the right everything is your fault and nothing is systemic, and in both cases the person speaking is freed from the need to do anything themselves.

@Wombat849 I was spared this revelation because none of my friends have expressed any attraction to me post transition.

@heyimporg @oncloud_e Also like... some of us already had all the kids we wanted to in the first place. Like I have 2 kids! I didn't carry them around for 9 months but it turns out the actually important bits of motherhood are what happens after they come out, it's not all about the manufacturing.

@staxdeadempress Also honestly even for those of us who did go through the medical system i regularly consult the docs just to get a better idea of what's going on dosage wise, reasonable levels etc just because it's not comprehensive than 15 minutes with my doctor every couple months.

@dinonid123 @Tawil @JennyENicholson Yeah that kind of came about from another post explaining that humans are kind of weird in the animal kingdom for being pursuit predators with unusually good endurance and people realized aliens probably wouldn't have evolved from that specific quirk

Gonna add because a lot of people are too caught up in if affordable housing is good or not: This is about ignoring a housing crisis that effects many people who should not *need* subsidized housing to tinker at the edges of policy instead of being willing to fix the roots.

@Ida_Clemens "Boy it's been so fun being a chore tourist, doing chores with my family I don't have to do year-in year-out for an entire family. We should reconfigure society to make this the way we're forced to live based on my brief experience" I did dishes by hand for 8 years, I'm done.

@ContraPoints How dare you not have already released it! (but also like... don't overwork yourself) We were *promised*! (Like a couple extra days won't kill me) Release it imminently or you will have lost a viewer *for life* (I'll watch it whenever you get to it)

@MiserMcMiserson @StatisticUrban @mcj756 I know ransomware attacks can hit hospitals pretty badly locking them out of their data, I wonder how many have it colocated offsite in a data centre such that those being down would be similarly damaging?

The problem with Toronto is that city planners keep trying to make entire swaths of the biggest city in the country into cute little villages instead of actually meeting the needs of the city. If you want to design a low density village go live in one.

@Diana_C_McNally Tenant organizing is absolutely useless to people who can't become tenants because there's not enough housing to go around. Having housing is a prerequisite to that, and young middle class people are focused on getting access in the first place.

@_KuroGama @Womenlover420 @halomancer1 Honestly I'm pretty sure that was true at the time too, they were mad that there were words that referred to their sexuality on an equal level with homosexuality and didn't treat it as the normative default.

@discoebooks I remember I joined there for a while and basically only hung out in the trans femme channel making friends, but then they changed the moderation so that you could *only* talk about trans femme specific topics in those channels to avoid "clique-y behavior" I guess?
