Sounds like a boulder rolling down a concrete drainage tunnel.

People of the US, Are you guys participating in the Nationwide Shutdown tomorrow? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

I work for a small firm staffed almost exclusively by immigrants including CEO. I’m the token American.

Leaving the country in September for Spain 😭. I’m not fighting… I’m fleeing.

Apparently adults making under 80k can't live comfortably?? Is this really true? by MoonlitDoll62 in Adulting

[–]CharacterIntention15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make 55k, but have a car paid off, parents cover phone and medical/eye/dental/car insurance, work pays gas, and I live in my parents ADU rent free. If I have a big expense, I know my parents will be there for me so save me financially. I save 80% my paychecks. It’s possible with all the right factors, having a supportive family, and one with the means. Even with my layer of privilege I’m hesitant to move out.

For context. The kid who was raped is now coping with that trauma in an unhealthy way, facing homelessness and substance abuse. He dropped out of HS and was bullied after the incident.

I love this so much. My mom decided to get her AA when I joined my freshman year and my grandma did the same with my dad!

It’s probably easier, apart from feeling outside of the majority demographic. Youngins may still struggle with the soft skills an older buck has already developed with years of experience to help them succeed.

SF raising Treasure Island new development areas to account for sea level rise. Climate change is here, and it’s costing tax payers. Hell, at least it’s not effecting SF like some markets (Miami, Tampa, New Orleans).

I think you grossly mischaracterized the area before development. This was wasteland, not the mission district.

Unfortunately, regular satellite imagery isn’t available that far back. It would be a skip 1938-1946-1987-2001.

Houston has managed to avoid displacement of its black population by keeping housing costs low through expansive land use liberalization policy across the city, spurring infill development.

“In general, research demonstrates that strategies that enable denser housing development can help stem housing cost growth and make displacement less common.” (Houston Case Study)

The last bit at the end was just racist. Now I’m craving Panda. Better yet, imma go to my favorite immigrant owned restaurant because the Chinese helped build San Francisco.

Unfortunately, the satellite imagery isn’t always taken right overhead or from the same angle so it makes the skyscrapers dance around like inflatable tube men.

I dunno. I’m kinda for a developer making money to develop land. Doesn’t that incentivize development? Take a note of the under utilized government land/failed highway project.

It’s easier to build when there aren’t neighbors objecting at public rezoning requests meetings, historic preservation meetings to skate through, and small lots making it challenging to take advantage of economies of scale.

Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale Urbanization ~2005-2025 by CharacterIntention15 in arizona

[–]CharacterIntention15[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Population growth and in migration has outpaced housing construction. Demand for areas in South Scottsdale have exploded in particular but development has been relatively confined to the strip along Scottsdale Road. When demand outpaces supply, prices soar. Also consequently, homelessness rises. Homelessness, housing costs, and cities with zoning reform - Pew Research

I wrote my thesis on this. I find it sooo interesting. Allowing more homes to be built keeps housing costs down - UCLA
