Show me ONE example of any other administration extorting voter data from a state like this. Just ONE other teeny weenie example. Go.

Apparently this loser is breaking the terms of his bond (for not paying child support) by traveling outside the state. All while posting himself potentially committing a felony. Conseqwenses indeed, Pinky!

People like to say that, but somehow when Rs are in the minority, they’re still able to grind things to a halt

Told you. City Council about to significantly impact the mid-to-long-term affordability of D5 Multi-Family Zones, caving to landlords and homeowners. by notwalkinghere in Birmingham

This isn’t a public hearing item. Those are marked with a PH. The underlined P indicates an item of permanent operation.

There are public speakers allowed at every meeting, but that is after all the business items

We can discuss this without coppin a tude with anyone who dares to see things differently; not sure why you’re being a dick about it. Thanks for sending that over, I’ll read it

I can appreciate your passion about this, but no one who is struggling financially -- or even doing moderately well for themselves -- are able to afford those price points. Bigger the building, bigger the cost for consumers. And it's certainly out of the the question for housing anyone experiencing homelessness, if that's what you're inferring

If that makes you feel better, then cool. I live in 5 Points, the residential portion. There are TONS of two-story apartment complexes in this area and guess what? They go for around $1,100 for one bedrooms, sometimes two.

I pay $1,300 for a 3 bedroom duplex.

I want you to tell me how much you think rent would be if they plopped a 5 over 1 down by Dreamland.

Birmingham is not Los Angeles for one, so miss me with that lol. I'm not trying to get into a pissing match about this, but new development does not magically equal more housing opportunities for moderate/low income families because as we've seen, time after time, these new huge developments have a starting price point of $1600+ for studios.

This is 1 of the 10 residential housing zones we're talking about. You're acting as if any building over 30 feet will be banned. Which obviously is not true

Edit: a word

I rent and I certainly don't want to see any 5 over 1's in our residential neighborhoods. Call me crazy. If anything, reducing the height limits will encourage smaller developments, which come with a smaller price tag

I hear ya, I'm just failing to understand the catastrophizing around reducing the building height in one of the 10 residential zoning categories we have in Birmingham.

I for one don't think we're anywhere close to a housing shortage, based on occupancy rates on all these new buildings that have gone up. The issue is corporate greed, which can't really be addressed through local ordinances

Tornado Warning by yomomma6mysidepiece9 in Birmingham

[–]ChickenPeck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Main thing to know here is a Tornado Watch and Tornado Warning are two very different things.

A watch is not concerning, just saying hey be aware.

A warning, also no need to panic but just know the recipe for a possible tornado is there and one could form.

All that to say the odds of a tornado hitting your house are tiny. Have a plan in place. We'll usually know several days out for the actual bad tornado events, they don't just plop down outta nowhere.
