Has anyone ever commented on the irony of left NIMBYs policies ensuring that they surround themselves 100% with wealthy yuppies, the people they hate the most? SF progs HATE tech workers but they made damn sure those are the only people who could ever afford to move there lol

I watched a bit of this last night and I learned that the software developers for Eve Online were only able to stop speculators from hoarding factories and underproducing ships (with the intent to sell them later as the userbase grew) by administrating a Land Value Tax.

Wonder what all the NUMTOT denizens are doing today now that they lost their space to call bike lanes classist or whatever.

I don’t think I quite appreciated how serious middle class ennui is for many people until I got on twitter. Between the retvrn dudes, subsistence farmers, Degrowthers this seems like a very common affliction for people.

Honestly though, before his posts about this I hadn’t really noticed that right wingers all wear the same cut jeans I got shit for wearing as a scene 13 year old.

And the smart Yimby response to this is "And this is why we need to invest in a public sector developer to build housing for middle/ working class people" But either way, the answer is more housing development.

I’m increasingly convinced ill-trained dogs are becoming a public policy issue. It’s pretty clear that a majority of dog owners don’t bother to train them. I’d bet we are a couple of high profile incidents from people calling for reforms restricting where dogs are allowed to be.

my daughter is mortally terrified of nearly all dogs and one thing that it’s taught me is that most owners are far more bothered about persuading you their dog is safe to be around than actually ensuring it is

Trans kids, abortion, “critical race theory” and now, more explicitly, coming after things like alimony and no fault divorce. All of it can easily be viewed through the lens of an authoritarian patriarch who is seeking to exert control over their estranged family.

Been thinking a lot about how @Scott_Wiener went out of his way to take stands on important but deeply divisive issues and is now the focus of half a dozen conspiracy theories from some of the most unhinged and intransigent people in our country.

I understand there are a lot more pressing issues in the world and plenty of other things should be prioritized first, but can we please end open container laws?

YIMBYs are by far the most successful reform movement in America that is not the federalist society.

Every YIMBY is a popularist until someone tells them maybe they could message better or moderate on their most unpopular positions

How did we let a bunch of suburbanist liberals get a monopoly on the American left. Like my god, the "socialist" position on transportation is give GM billions of dollars for electric cars.
