I think most people on this app literally don't understand that housing is a thing people live in and consume.
They think housing is just some meme that developers partake in because it looks cool and makes money by magic

It's just crazy to me that a city would build this many canals and not activate them with footpaths, parks, business, etc. If I was Cape Coral I would lean in super hard to canal-side bars and restaurants, trails, parks with docks to fish on and places for kids to play...
@Lib_Development
Latin America is proof that like 90% of societies problems are trivially solvable if you simply elect people interested in solving them (bukele is another example). Latam voters understand this but sadly the us does not

Sometimes I’m amazed when Java people whip out some named pattern and I look it up and I’m like, damn you named that? I just call that “writing the feature.”
Java bros trying to create a whole Pokédex out of jargon
To a first approximation:
0 americans would choose multifamliy if detached single family is an option
0 americans care about the environment enough to materially alter their living situation
Multifamily only wins if it's cheaper or unlocks new neighborhoods (which it is/does)

Except housing prices in tulsa have exploded out of control in the last 2 years.
This is a national problem. Prices are surging everywhere.

Stuff like this is why I kind of sympathize with the “I don’t like apartment people” guy. Because you go on this app and see massive support for stuff like “we need to legalize tenants acting like buffoons” and naturally the normie single family house owners get triggered

@petrinkae
Dislocating homeless people (largest populations in NY and CA) to abandoned houses in the rural rust belt and south is institutionalized cruelty, actually.
@MatthewDownhour
Could you imagine an alternate timeline where twitter leftists are seething at normies posting shots of themselves drinking and clubbing in Kabul?
@constans
At my school there were just way too many people and not enough desirable jobs. I think I got 1 offer from the fairs but I ended up going with something I cold applied on LinkedIn. This was 2018

This is literally what happens. Every mid cycle the console makers come out with a slim version that is cheaper, or they come out with bigger and better bundles over time

@EmmaVigeland
Leftists views are so skewed because they all believe that after the revolution they are gonna be the party fat cats and not the average workers. Like yeah, socialism provides SOME high status socialists with money and goodies but for most revolutionaries it just sucks

@Always_Eat_Ass
Also I saw multiple people in the replies doubling down by saying "this is how it has always been under common law." Lmao, common law allows trial by combat. No normie is gonna care that common law allows people to squat

Me to my mom today: did you know the third largest crypto exchange melted down and was hostilely taken over by a competitor that allegedly orchestrated the whole thing by dumping their token?
My mom: I don’t know what any of that means

@culturaltutor
Maybe I'm just crazy because I grew up in a pre war suburb, but me and my friends would always walk/bike to the park, play football or basketball, go to the corner store to get gatorade, get food, go to a movie, coffee shop to do homework... You can't do that in modern sprawl
@INCapChronicle
At what point does it become justifiable for working people to start straight up reclaiming our wealth from the boomers? I’m starting to believe people under 40 robbing and scamming boomers is morally defensible
@JosephPolitano
The other 20% is “this millennial paid off 100k in student loans in 3 years, here’s how she did it” and how she did it is just paying 33k in principal each year

@adamconover
They didn’t run into a busy street. They used a crosswalk.
You are legally obligated to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk.
Stop doing illegal things and then pretending to be a victim on twitter about it.
@kitten_beloved
I like kbj and im happy she’s on the court. But they’re deluding themselves. Biden picked his preferred race and gender and then found the best justice that fit the mold. He literally publicly announced this was his criteria. It objectively was affirmative action!

1. Directly kill 40k americans/year,
2. Directly injure 2m/year,
3. Cause upwards of 100k indirect deaths due to respiratory and pulmonary issues,
4. Cost taxpayers $64bn/year in infra
5. Add $50k to the cost of a typical housing unit

@culturaltutor
The best way to achieve this is to ban cars in residential areas. Cars bring blight, crime, pollution, and civilizational decay. Not to mention they maim/kill kids

Today at work I had to add a field to some legacy page that no one had touched since like 2017. It was using server rendered jinja and a plain <form>. It was comically easier than our SPA. We need to retvrn
@JohnKingSFChron
2400 parking spaces and 400 units of housing. This is not transit oriented development. I don't even know what this is. A vaguely spicy sprawl-style strip mall?
@JosephPolitano
Also the line people are usually right. Stancil was spot on when he said most americans literally can't comprehend and can't tell you what their financial situation is
@macs_posts
Tech and finance workers do have a right to move to san francisco. They have a right to move anywhere.
Housing exclusion and gatekeeping is elitist and oppressive. Why do you hate the middle class?
@tekbog
Even the guys promising to undo the abstractions are cringe. "Our library is just 10 new html props to add reactivity. We have no build system."
And the 10 new props involve writing all your js for state logic and event handling inside a string in your tag (cough alpine cough)
@NPR
Cars are the opposite of freedom. They are an anchor weighing down our society and preventing climate action. They are the least efficient, least affordable and least practical system of transportation

Why is there such a strong correlation between people who pay for Twitter and people who want to stick their nose in other people’s business?

I speak for everyone when I say we did and we do. If you want to opt out then go ahead. Have fun bartering with gold nuggets or whatever
@notkavi
Sometime in the last 5-10 years the nyt went from a pro-elite publication to an anti-normie publication. It’s not enough to further the interests of the elite. They increasingly want to further the interests of everyone who takes advantage/makes life worse for normies
@gilgildner
@flawedaxioms
Most of those people are not throwing it away. They’re grinding harder and achieving more than their parents did at their age. The issue is that a lawyer or software engineer salary does not buy the same standard of living as the 90s

@CartoonsHateHer
The blast radius is also much larger because of tiktok now. In the 2000s no one was at risk of becoming a meme format for asking someone out
@SCHIZO_FREQ
How do people even end up in a relationship like this? Clearly they have very different personality types and expectations from the relationship. They both had to know what they were getting into

The bill is deficit negative and hiring more IRS employees will, in fact, increase tax enforcement against rich criminal tax dodgers

Stop spreading disinformation.
538 gave a range of outcomes, most of which resulted in a small to medium sized pickup for republicans in the house. Republicans are still on pace for that outcome
