Every t4t relationship is the most pure and safe companionship you’ve ever heard until they break up and now one dropped off the face of the earth and the other is talking about how they were constantly cheated on and belittled in front of their mutual friends
what are posts that aren’t load-bearing anywhere but your personal lexicon. like the ones that weren’t really popular but are so enshrined in your mind that you just assume they got hundreds of thousands of likes

I can imagine that it hasn't occurred to OP that plain-rice equivalent housing was made illegal in many places to segregate out poor people
Enlightenment: Each play symbolizes a step towards understanding, the teamwork embodies the interconnectedness of all wisdom. The field is not just a battleground for sport, but a sacred space where the mind and spirit are nurtured. Fuck Windsor, Colorado

"the supremacy of the Old Ones, the longevity of eternity, commanding the power and respect of people from the furthest galaxies. also fuck windsor, colorado"
"the Christian God was once able to strike against any attempt to challenge his supremacy. He rested on his laurels, as we advanced through the ages to the point where taking him down was but a mere nuisance. we are free to build as high and ambitious as we please."
"they say that the greatest trick the NIMBYs ever played was convincing the American people that home values wasn't real wealth. please urbanize this neighborhood."
"in the last living moments for the founder of NUMTOTs, she made her grandchildren swear to forsake California's Prop 13. they succeeded, and this is the result:"
Champagne socialism took root in America because the millionaires see themselves not as privileged bourgeoisie, but as temporarily enriched proletariat
A 3 million dollar home in Hollywood is not even close to a mansion. I don’t think some people understand how expensive homes are especially in places like LA.

Not really. Imagine if someone had a dirt lot and let people sleep there in their cars, but then city council banned that type of arrangement

Men from overseas, including Australia, are estimated to have fathered tens of thousands of children to sex workers in the Philippines.
Now, thanks to DNA, the children are tracking them down.

every city suspects that their own poor people are somehow lazier than every other city's poor people, so every city has to repeat the scientific process of slowly finding out that they're not that special

nextdoor hates foreigners more than they hate affordable housing, which is why even the nicest, most loving post about refugees will get reported and taken down
luckily for me, their final appeals system is staffed by indians

Hey so question: I'm the son of Vietnamese refugees, who left because of instability caused by the extractive institutions set up by French colonizers, but now I live in the US on land that my refugee parents purchased.
If I disagree with you am I still a colonizer

Georgism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited renter-class, but as temporarily embarrassed feudal lords

i would imagine that we're both in favor of medicare for all but would still be okay with letting pfizer or whomever build an insulin factory

I'd choose a 200sqft apartment without a kitchen, no living room, no private bathroom if it meant saving $600 a month. I need in-unit laundry and gigabit internet speeds tho

Proper ventilation is something we should require because the costs of poor ventilation have negative externalities and are not easily visible

The city of Denver should build social housing, yes. While we're busy trying to wrest control away from the white landowners that dominate local politics, can I pretty please let people sleep the night on my hypothetical dirt parking lot
@EsotericCD
voters sometimes vote for policies that make their lives harder in exchange for good things
sometimes they even do it in the form of raising taxes

Different people have different preferences! I don't want nor need a full-size kitchen, but I very much need a window because I want to optimize co2 levels. And I like having a bathtub. I also live a mile from work so I don't need a parking spot

Alright alright y’all, everyone who’s replying to me, you got me. I’m sorry.
This proposal wasn’t revolutionary enough.
More accurate position: all housing is nationalized and distributed to the rule that everyone gets what they need before anyone gets what they want.
if only we could subsidize housing the way we subsidize corn
wait i got it
require all homes to be built with 10% corn in order to make the ag lobby YIMBY
someone should make an anti-hallmark movie about how i left one of those "small towns" because it was full of assholes and how i ended up finding love in denver
in all seriousness there’s an absolutely disgusting anti-urbanism in Hallmark movies which borders on a weird american maurrassianism (ie the small town is the “real country”, as opposed to (((cosmopolitan))) cities)
one of the greatest flaws of high school science classes is the lack of emphasis on how economic theories were falsified in the past or are currently being falsified right now.
this is probably due to political constraints
this meme is so powerful that i literally woke up from a dream where my mom told me that she hadn't had fun in years because she was too busy doing household chores
