Would subsidized units be built by the city? Or would developers have to have some proportion of subsidized units to market rate units? Are these units subsidized? Or are they just stabalized? And, further, this doesn’t solve the problem of people being displaced from the units they’ve lived in for decades — what do…

Yeah, I tend to agree. As another commenter noted: the people involved are likely not locals. Though, I’m not familiar with London’s real estate market or rent regulation. I know here in NY, in a neighborhood like, say, Williamsburg, where market rents have also skyrocketed in the last decade, you do have a few long…

Yeah, to be honest I have my suspicions on that front as well. I’m more taking issue with the implication in the above post that small, independently owned business aren’t a part of gentrification. Whether the “Fuck Parade” actually has the interests of gentrification’s victims at heart is another matter.

Well, obviously launching a physical assault on any business is not constructive, but I think the resentment long time residents might feel about a place that is clearly intended to serve the people pricing them out of their homes is understandable and not entirely unfair, independently owned or not. Those businesses…

Yeah, before she won her Oscar, so it’s from a few years ago.

But have you seen the True Blood?

The holidays are the best and happen to be in winter. I’d say January 7 to about March 15 is the worst.

People just need to validate their own choices by putting down others. Really all that should matter is (1) Did it make sense for the couple? (2) Do you like it? (3) Were you an asshole about it? If the answers are yes, yes, and no then A+ everyone.

Angry eyebrows.

But you blessed us with the beer one, so bless you.

This seems like a reasonable position. Also:

I don’t remember beyond it being hilarious that Nick Kroll’s dad was this guy’s ‘scause, expect probably something shady Kroll’s dad may or may not have been involved in before he sold his company.

The internet estimates her net worth at around $3 million, which, I assume, she earned from working. Probably (almost certainly) pretty (very) hard. Still, doesn’t give her a pass to be an asshole to flight attendants. Though, also agree that it’s kind of shitty to assume artists/entertainers ‘don’t work.’

This is his Dad:

Well, we’re actually not sure yet when the information was classified. We know some of it’s classified now. We’re not sure what was classified at the time, so it’s not clear if anything wrong was done. Clinton says that nothing was classified when sent, but the investigators haven’t confirmed that yet.

Yeah ... she shouldn’t have said anything about it being convenient, about whether or not the info was classified, etc. She could have saved herself soooooooo much grief if she’d just said, “My team consulted with X on the law and came to a good faith determination that it was legal, however, we will cooperate fully…

To summarize:

solid.
