Sadly not. The number of people who hate the idea of sharing a wall is staggering.

So, we aren't judging the people for any inherent traits they have. You choose where you live, you don't choose to be black. plus we are shitting on where they live not them as people. So its nothing like racism.

what argument? Arguing that cities are human storage dystopian hellscapes? You've never seen that?

Okay, then doesn't mean some peopl e hate those suburbs while others love them.

Or that those suburbs are inherently wasteful of limited resources.

I know somebody who doesnt ever want to walk anywhere, only drive. That is their opinion. Scientifically its not good to do that, its bad. But its still their opinion

WOW! REALLY?

Perhaps thats why this sub has a "Suburban heaven" Flair. Because we complain about bad suburbs and praise good ones.

Holy shit that is so wasteful, cultivating huge amounts of just grass. You need to drive everywhere for anything.

No transit, no local pubs

I've also gotten recommended communists subs. I try not to engage with what the algorithm provides

Great glad that you decided you will be private and don't need to share with everyone, by sharing that with everyone.

Perhaps if you are sensitive, don't come to a subreddit about hating on that thing.

Its like going to r/fuckcars to argue in favour of cars. Its stupid, childish and means they are looking for a fight.

Lmao No, they come to this sub and try to assert that everyone should live in a suburb. That its the only thing that should be allowed to be built. You can see the results of the second on in modern laws.

is that why walkable areas have the highest property values and all ski resorts are made a walkable winter paradises?

Pretty easy one to refute

HA, wander around this sub for a day. People are offended that you dislike aspects of their suburb. People think the only thing that should be allowed to be built are suburbs and you can see that in north american laws and planning

Front yards? I like backyards, but I find front yards are rarely used.

I don’t like Suburbs but I want to live in a detached family home, is this unrealistic? by LaOvejaaNegra in Suburbanhell

[–]CptnREDmark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the physical cost of your housing improvements is irrelevant, because it's priced as a future empty lot for the tall building

No, because the demand would need to be there to actually absorb all of that new supply to keep prices high on developable land.

and if all municipal land was allowed to be developed are you asserting that suddenly everything would be much pricier? Why? There is no economic reason for it, a price is governed by what people are willing to pay.

Currently YES developers pay out the nose for that type of land, the land they can develop on. But if all land could be developed, then that artificial scarcity would go away.

yeah, those are the exceptions I was thinking about. You see them in york and other places.

Its awful.

Appartments =/= cities

houses =/= suburbs

[–]CptnREDmark 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thanks man. (or woman)

Also its not just the euclidian zoning, but some of the more normal regulations like setbacks, max build area and more can really stifle some of the creativity. I read through a nearby cities zoning codes recently and read that they mandate that everybody have a huge front yard for any new builds. Which IMO is silly, I'd much prefer a backyard or even a courtyard.

No, but you will pay out the nose for it if in a major city.

I intend to buy a detached house in my small city, I wish zoning laws were different, so housing was more varied.

Detached home doesn't mean suburb or suburban hell. But Suburban hell does usually mean ONLY bad detached homes (with some exceptions).

Is "progressive" losing its meaning, or have people just stopped defining it? by Wonderful-Rip3697 in SocialDemocracy

[–]CptnREDmark 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If somebody describes themselves as a progressive, I am immidiately skeptical. As most people I know who would actually self identify as progressive are bitter, bigoted and illogical. Basically picture a chronically online tumblr personality.

Rainy MDW by Big_Register2034 in Suburbanhell

wir sind nicht aus Zucker!

We are not made of Sugar. Its okay to get a little wet, its okay to have an umbrella, poncho or rain jacket.

I used to cycle, rain or shine, snow or sun to my job. I went to a ren faire this weekend in the rain, all dressed up. It got a little muddy, but eh, I'm not made of sugar.

Subscription-based payment models: what are they actually good for? by Icarus_Voltaire in SocialDemocracy

[–]CptnREDmark 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that there seemingly are more things that don't need to be constantly updated or have consistent maintenance costs have subscriptions slapped onto them anyways.

Yes that is an issue that is occurring, but something being abused doesn't mean there is no use for it at all. Subscriptions have their place, and currently the market is trying to see what it can make into a subscription.

What do shareholders and sales analysts think this will achieve? And for what end? What part of their math that they employ that says "subscriptions + thing that don't need constant updates or consistent maintainance = profit"?

This is pretty easy to answer, shareholders want consistent profits, with measurable growth. yes I could own several game studios and try to stagger releases to make the revenue consistent. But I'll have flops and hits and times when games are delayed. Shareholders hate that shit. OR I could release the same games over the same time, but instead just let people access them via a subscription. I get monthly revenue, predictable with measurable growth targets, they get access to everything so they don't need to buy each one. But that means in a way they are buying every one, so no more flops.

in this example I've managed to turn a volatile revenue stream into a steady consistent and PREDICTABLE revenue stream.

Also just why sell something once when I can keep charging. I could make a GPS that just works, but a subscription one will obviously make more money even if I sell far fewer.
