Most buildings that are affordable today were once built as “luxury”. When it costs $450k per unit to build a building and years of bureaucratic red tape, you need to charge a certain rent level or else the whole project loses money.

More housing units is what keeps housing prices down. We should welcome more. It’s supply and demand.

They take your tax money and burn it. There are incinerators in the basement.

We can do both

Like getting a 6th Covid booster, it gives people the feeling they are saving the world.

When the market is willing to pay $15 for that widget, then that’s the market price. There is enough demand to sustain $15. If your theory were true, a company would swoop in, build widgets for $11, and sell them for $13-14 undercutting competition. Why aren’t competing companies doing that?

For fucks sake. You guys will believe anything to defy basic economics 101. If supply/demand doesn’t dictate prices, and companies can charge whatever they want like you claim, why weren’t we seeing high inflation pre-Covid?

It’s supply and demand. We are having supply issues while we simultaneously juiced demand through unprecedented fiscal and monetary stimulus. Any economist could have predicted this (and many did).

If by “money” relationship you mean “contractual” relationship, then yes.

That doesn’t explain how the northbound and southbound tracks stay the same up broad street at other stops. The answer is that there is a “switch” or crossover somewhere north of NRG stop.

It’s a joke buddy, relax there

If that’s the case I’m glad to see our interests are aligned. Shower me with downvotes, I’ll be the martyr for people’s reluctance to accept it.

Just glad to see people support these types of raids. I’ll be a martyr and take the downvotes, I know it’s hard for people to accept.

It’s refreshing to see people support cops raiding criminals. 2 years ago this would have been considered oppressive or even racist. Glad to see normality might been closer around the corner than I thought.

I thought they were innocent youth that didn’t have anything else to do so resort to driving like assholes as a healthy outlet 🤔

Nothing unique which to me is a good thing. He understands the business climate here, understands the actual mechanical inefficiencies of our city governance that are holding back economic growth, and he wants to crack down on violent crime.

I guess the only unique thing - now that I think about it - is he works hard.

That’s what I was thinking. A friend of mine lost a parent (who I never met) and i just said a simple “I’m so sorry, I hope you’re hanging in there. A lot of people are thinking about you and here for you if you need anything.” Can’t imagine throwing in something like “I see they liked woodworking, they must have been talented”, having never met them before and never talking about woodworking with this friend before.
