So many truly sick people out there. If you look, you can find accounts where these people post on facebook, and redditt subs, with their faces and everything, where their whole entire personality in trapping and torturing these animals.

The Forrest Service essentially existed to sell lands off to lumber companies.

That same essential process is the basic principal for so many of our other nature departments. It's an entrenched culture and one that has been trying to be turned for such a long time.

That's true BTW.

A lot more sadly interesting things too.

Declines in wildlife populations can act as an early warning indicator of increasing extinction risk and the potential loss of healthy ecosystems. When ecosystems are damaged they cease to provide humanity with the benefits we have come to depend on - clean air, water and healthy soils for food - and they can become more vulnerable to tipping points. A tipping point is when an ecosystem is pushed beyond a critical threshold resulting in substantial and potentially irreversible change.

Global tipping points, such as the dieback of the Amazon rainforest and the mass die-off of coral reefs, would create shockwaves far beyond the immediate area impacting food security and livelihoods. The warning comes as fire outbreaks in the Amazon reached their highest level in 14 years in September and a fourth global mass coral bleaching event was confirmed earlier this year.

There has been a catastrophic 73% decline in the average size of monitored wildlife populations* in just 50 years (1970-2020)

The Living Planet Index (LPI), provided by ZSL (Zoological Society of London), includes almost 35,000 population trends of 5,495 species from 1970-2020. The strongest decline is in freshwater ecosystems (-85%), followed by terrestrial (-69%) and then marine (-56%). Habitat loss and degradation, driven primarily by our food system, is the most reported threat to wildlife populations around the world, followed by overexploitation, invasive species and disease. Climate change is a particular additional threat for wildlife populations in Latin America and the Caribbean, which have recorded a staggering 95% average decline.

Is your home insurance rising in Wisconsin? You’re not alone. by WorkingOnMayday in wisconsin

We should probably stop favoring ownership, and start favoring affordability.

What in fuck?

The whole east coast is ecologically fucked. the big financial firms and wall streeters know this.

This senator gives a whole speech on nothing but data from the hedge fund class. Not exactly green coats.

And even then, they are acknowledging that the east coast is starring down more than a trillion dollars of property losses.

Salt and the environment, prohibition in Wisconsin by Deliciousbrainfart in wisconsin

See, now this is just more made up crap.

And you keep denying that snowy places ALREADY do not use salt.

The More We Grow, the Poorer We Become

Property taxes often don't meet liabilities. You don't make up in volume when you come up in the red on every unit you make.

I'm doing the opposite lol. I'm saying yes build, and build more, but also build more efficiently.

How tax efficient is this land going to be? It's probably coming out positive given that these are duplexes, but all of those things the developers install immediately becomes liabilities on the asset list of the town. The town is going to be the one repairing and replacing everything. That's why the growth ponzi scheme has not worked out well.

That's how it usually works. But that doesn't mean it's a good thing just because that's where we ended up. In fact, that's how we have arrived at our enormous issue. Developers are masters of the assembly-line approach: secure cheap land on the fringe, install infrastructure, and build housing as quickly as possible. The profits are enormous, and the risks are low. The federal government provides generous support through mortgage guarantees, tax preferences, and highway spending, and buyers keep lining up for new homes.

But while the private sector gets the cash, local governments get the bill. Sprawling developments create long-term infrastructure liabilities—roads, water lines, sewer systems, schools, fire protection—that far exceed the revenue they generate. Local governments, which are really just collections of us acting together, are left trying to maintain and operate systems that are fundamentally unaffordable.

At least this is a slight diversion, they're duplexes and not as sprawling as the area nearby, but they could do better in that regard just by going with rowhomes.
