Guys, if you want Biden to drop out because you think the vibes are off, fine.
But this guy getting extremely deep in the weeds on obscure industrial policy and hard foreign policy questions off the cuff is not senile.
He’s simply not.

Have said this before, but Democrats are vulnerable on housing. Reasonable Republicans like Bergum have a real opportunity to make abundant housing a key policy plank.
Dems too attached to coastal NIMBYs and silly vacancy truthers/ public housing only types

A homeless advocate being opposed to building new housing is one of the stupidest fucking things I have ever heard.
After 1 hour of public comment, 5 people are in support of Connected Communities and 11 are against it. And there's a big difference between these two camps: the former consists of CDCs, development lawyers, and realtors. The latter have been residents and a homeless advocate.

There are 3 archetypal cities in the US
1. NYC is the cosmopolitan pre street grid dense European city
2. Chicago is the pre-war working class immigrant railroad town - the most American city
3. LA is the post-automobile, post war, car centric sprawl West Coast city

Routinely getting tickets is like the “return the shopping cart” litmus test. If you get them frequently, you have proven the social compact is meaningless in your eyes

The urbanist movement has basically nothing to do with most of the causes discussed below and to the extent it does (climate change) building dense housing will still accomplish it
Trying to to turn urbanism into another facet of the omnicause is something I totally reject
There's absolutely no room in the urbanist movement for conservatives.
The fight for equitable, climate conscious cities, worker's rights, reproductive rights, racial justice, wealth equality, and LGBTQ rights are all the same fight.
It's the fight for our future.

I genuinely believe building housing should be non-partisan, but I genuinely hope this is a wake up call for “progressives” who have the same view on this issue as Donald John Trump
Donald Trump has gone full NIMBY.
It should be absolutely unacceptable for ANY local democrats to side with Trump over Biden’s pro-housing agenda. Every NIMBY Democrat should be primaried.

This is our lesson, and we hope socialists everywhere will pay close attention: the Democratic Party is a dead end. It is a “party” in name only; truly, it is simply a tangled web of dark money and mega-donors, cynical consultants, and lapdog politicians.

Streetcar gets a bad rap for only catering to tourists and bar hoppers but on a snowy Saturday morning and early afternoon the streetcar is full; except now it’s people running errands, going to Findlay Market or Kroger, getting coffee, going to work.

We should center the needs of the people who want to use public transit to get from point A to point B safely, quickly, and comfortably rather than the people who want to use public transit as a place to smoke meth

The lesson from CHAZ is that a community without police will immediately reproduce police, except shittier
It took them all of .001 seconds before the self appointed police killed a kid lmao
Nobody disagrees CHAZ was a mess, but the idea of people barring cops from any part of a city would have been laughable only a month before. It was a step forward in radical potential and rather than seek to push that further you elect to ridicule it like a generic conservative.

After 2016 a lot of well meaning libs made people like Briahna feel like they held some sort of sway over the Democratic Party when in reality they don’t matter at all. They’re not important. Suburban women, independents, etc matter infinitely more than terminally online leftists

There are not 24 hour coffee shops and book stores (with cats) in every town because the vast majority of towns in America could not support such an enterprise. It would be empty most of the time
You will not be issued a blank check to pursue unproductive hobbies under socialism
Like, the world would undeniably be a happier place if every town had at least one 24 hour coffeeshop and bookstore (with a cat). People would go there all the time. But maybe not enough to make a constantly increasing profit. Maybe not even enough to pay extortionate rent.

Really do not like this move. I’m not anti arena per se but denying housing that could be built now in favor of maybe possibly putting an arena there - when we already have an existing arena that could be renovated or rebuilt on the same site - seems bad on its face
The city has killed two mixed-use development proposals for the Town Center Garage, leaving the door open to putting a new arena at the site.
