Yes, definitely, I think this is actually a somewhat controversial topic in Texas! I’m from the Houston area, and I have family all over the South, so that’s probably why I think of myself as Southern. I do think it depends on where you are in Texas. Southeast Texas strikes me as a lot more Southern, and El Paso on…

Um, you do realize that Texas was part of the Confederacy? Many people do consider it part of the South, or at least parts of it.

Almost every time I’ve stayed with a friend, they’ve said up front that I can have sex there, and sometimes even offered to facilitate procurement of said sex. I guess I’m friends with a bunch of sluts – and I love it.

Yes, but there are reports of people waiting 3-4 hours with pre-purchased tickets who couldn’t even get into the concert. Like you said, people get unruly at any concerts, but it sounds like these concert organizers did a terrible job setting things up.

Other sites reported that people with tickets waited 3-4 hours to be let in only to be tear-gassed by police and ordered to “disperse”. Poorly-organized sounds like a huge understatement here.

Is it actually illegal? It sounds like the law prohibits excluding someone because they have children, but it doesn’t say anything about excluding because of how those children behave. I’m not a lawyer or anything, so I’m genuinely curious here.

Well a co-op is like an HOA on steroids, because they actually manage the entire building, including approvals of new buyers, which tend to take at least a month. Its more understandable, though, because you are literally living on top of each other. IMO, its better than having a condo or rental building managed by a…

Yea, but was it surprising? Definitely not. It would have been more surprising if he hadn’t raped her.

Astoria and LIC are already like this, as is Harlem and even the Heights. UES is still the same cuz the rich white people didn’t move anywhere. I’m not sure how much is really about “coolness” and how much is, I can’t afford to live anywhere in Manhattan (though we could be talking about different levels of…

Also, all of the race riots between the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement involved white people massacring black people and burning their neighborhoods – a much bigger scale of destruction than any of the black uprisings from Watts to Baltimore.

In NYC, you can’t call in a taxi, you can only hail them from the street. So, its often more convenient to call a car service, and Uber is a car service that happens to have an app. When you use a normal car service, you have to call in, give your location, then they give you a wait time. If it takes longer than that…

“The plus side is that as the level of capital increases in poor countries, usually life gets better (albeit, slowly).”

“White boy” isn’t racist. I mean, if you’re white, and you’re a boy... you’re a white boy.

You mean the Civil War?

Ugh exactly, which makes it all the worse. The real outrage here is that big developers and landlords actually benefit from tragedies like this.

Look, these are clearly terrible people, but they are angels compared to the landlord they’re suing. These people are annoying and dumb, but the landlord’s cheap ass has killed 2 people and left dozens injured (likely with permanent burn damage) and homeless. Even the neighbors should be able to sue at least for their…

They’re not suing the city. They’re suing Con Ed, the landlord, the contractor, and the restaurant owner. It says that in the linked article.

Probably by the legal boundaries of the cities. SF is a fairly small city, while NYC is pretty large. NYC is not just Lower Manhattan. Its also South Bronx, East New York, Jamaica, Flushing, etc. Certainly, finding an affordable apartment today at $27k income would be next to impossible, even in those areas. But…

NYC median household income is $54,057, so its actually less than the state median.

I see a lot of anger, not hate. There's a lot of good reasons to be angry in this world and, yes, at "this movement." Listen to some with an open mind.
