Was anyone ever able to comment on this article???

Yes affordability is a problem, but you cannot compare prices from six years ago without taking inflation into account. This is stuff you shouldn’t be able to get away with in High School.

Unpopular opinions, for sure. The corollary is that we have to have programs in place to try to avoid creating the next generation of homeless people with mental issues.

I can usually predict where people’s stories are going, but your kicker actually got me. Golf clap!

It wasn’t the number of crashes that got me, but how matter-of-fact they were in numbering them. Maybe cargone!cargone! is my MIL?

Or they could be made to work triple shifts, then the housing won’t even be a concern.

Yep. I grew up pretty poor, and it wasn’t helped by the fact that on the rare occasion that we did something extra like eat out, we were all fretting over the expense and going cheap - which generally ruined the experience and made all the money spent wasted anyhow.

All US financial assistance comes in three forms:

The Money advice is generally useful for life. Don’t waste money, but when you have to spend it on something, make it worthwhile and don’t linger on the expense.

It’s like the metal water bottles that everyone replaces every two or three months. Not really helping.

Actually, two other passenger were doing something - they helped pin Neely down. Then one of them said he wasn’t “squeezing no more” and they let him go.

We would all be saying the same thing if the homeless guy had killed someone. “Why didn’t anyone do anything?” Like when Michele Alyssa Go was shoved in front of a train last year.

I was on the subway yesterday and a homeless person started screaming at a lady, hurling abuse and phlegm in her direction and at the rest of us. I don’t expect 15-minute chokeholds, but with there being no care and no support people are going to react. With the income gaps being what they are and society completely…

Just saw my first Lyriq in the wild, and it belonged to a young-ish gay couple in a very expensive building in NYC’s West Village - exactly the kind of person who were not ever considering Cadillacs before, so they seem to be doing part of it right.

I can definitely see a use case for this, but I would have to revamp the rest of my stable. Mightn’t want to bring those batteries into the house though:

In light of how quick firemen are to destroy illegally parked cars or to chop cars into bits if there is steam coming from beneath the hood, you would think they’d be perfectly capable of dealing with autonomous cars properly (hatchet through hood).

I just bought my first lawn mower ever, and it’s a hand pushed one with rotating blades. As in no engine at all. Yard is about 3500SF, it’s fine and I need the exercise. No one with a reasonably sized yard (unless you have health issues) needs a power lawnmower of any kind.

Nah, it will just be cancelled. Which is fine. I will neve understand the US’ constant habit of having absolutely terrible F1 races on temporary city courses, but it has been happening for forty years now.

No one said wagons should be super low. The additional ground clearance and all the offroad accoutrements are what is unnecessary, and a car like a Highlander does not offer much interior space considering its size and weight.

If CUVs offer any more space than the hatchbacks, it’s mainly because manufacturers have been making the hatchbacks “sportier” (i.e., unnecessarily low) to free up space in the market for the CUVs. Luckily, CUVs are becoming less and less off-roady, with things like the Hyundai Venue being limited to some black…
