You think the fact that I challenged you about changing permitting policies not being a matter of political willpower is just “well, actually”?

Then ask yourself why those laws aren’t being changed?

FFS. Dude...obviously its not easy to build in a city. That’s part of the reason we have a housing crisis. If I say build more housing as part of the solution that means that zoning and codes will probably need to change.

Did you read my OP? I said one of the solutions to the problem is to build more housing. “Mister Alighier” suggested I didn’t realize how hard that was because I wasn’t a developer/engineer/planner, which is absolutely ridiculous. Its obvious its hard. That’s why there’s a problem. That comment was directed at his ad…

Or it could also be that if you worked in those fields you would find that it’s not as easy to build home in a city due to space and regulations.

I don’t think there’s a shortage of developers, civil engineers, or city planners. Its a lack of political willpower.

Really? I know a single patent who’s husband turned out to be an abusive psychopath. Please explain to me how that situation is preventable. Or how about the parent whose spouse died?

There are so many flaws. Who is going to pay for the homeless person to move? Who is going to pay for the homeless person to make the abandoned home habitable? Who is going to pay for the homeless person to maintain the home? How is the homeless person going to get a job in an area economically depressed enough to…

Are you serious? You can’t be serious. Aside from how impossible it would be for hundreds of reasons to move homeless people to places with vacant homes, this isn’t just about homeless people. A city needs more than just highly paid tech workers living in it to function, and the lower paid service industry, retail,…

Build more housing, build more mass transit, build more housing near mass transit, stop handing tax money over to Amazon to move into a city and drastically distort its housing market, and build more housing.

Kinda hard to torch a city council when no one is going to take you seriously because you sound like a nut job.

Smells like selfishness and irresponsibility.

MSU, FIFA, Catholic Church...all organizations that enable criminals and all continue to exist because the institutions are more important than crimes committed.

Its real easy to “resist” when you’ve already given up by announcing your retirement.

Its insane that 2/3 of Americans are happy in an economy dominated by gig jobs, rising income inequality, tax cuts for the rich, and program cuts for the poor.

This is all a giant damned if they do damned if they don’t situation. Despite being a pathological liar, SHS is still the Press Secretary for the POTUS. Can you really not have her on? The very act of questioning her is important despite what her answers are. Should the press corp boycott the briefings and let SHS…

The date on the pip boy is Oct 27, 2102, so it looks like 25 years after the war.

Well then...never mind.

The issue is you can debate policy positions of moderates/never Trump conservatives, but “Fuck All These People” doesn’t help.

Look up at the ceiling...do you see the point I am making fly right over your head? If moderates and never Trump righties want to throw some money at opposing Trump then I am all for it. Progressives shouldn’t just take the position of “Fuck All These People”, but that doesn’t mean progressives shouldn’t attack other…
