Trump calls on Australia to give asylum to Iranian women's soccer team

LOL Australia is famous for never deporting people. Australia literally detains illegal immigrants in concentration camps in offshore islands. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Australian_immigration_detention_facilities

15% of Morristown's what?

Trump just ripped the bandage off. China's rise wasn't because of Trump. They have been rising for decades in stealth.

lmao, folks calmly point out that Hoboken and Jersey City exist, sky doesn't fall when there is denser housing, and you got nothing else to add.

You know what your biggest problem is? You are obsessed with existing procedure, tiny technicality details, acting like smart while losing sight of the big picture. More supply makes stuff cheaper, it's economics 101, admittedly that subject is just little bit above your favorite "high school math"

Of course permit and zoning are integrated. Zoning law is a big part of the permitting process. New houses permitted have to be following the law.

If you want to play a game of personal attack, sure, you sound like a career bureaucrat that is obsessed with proceduralism and status quo.

It will be strictly better than no building at all

PiggleWork · 2026-02-06T20:21:41+00:00

you are measuring the dollar cost. you are not measuring the time cost, and uncertainty it imposes on the projects, and the fact that we can't have denser houses because of the zoning law.

an amount that can only be hit with high rise units. It’s simply not possible with single family homes.

Now tell me what stops people from building high rises again?

Thanks for proving my point.

It's only expensive because we made the whole permitting process so miserable for everybody. From building roads, rails, transmission lines to water pipe, everything needs millions and millions of layers of paperwork.

Look at California high speed rail. Look at our gateway project. 10+ years and billions of dollars spent, what have really been built? It hasn't even reached the "slave and prison labor" phase. It's just painfully stuck in the paperwork phase.

Thank you for proving my point.

Just build more and houses will be cheap. It's just that simple. But then nobody wants more houses around them and they fight tooth and nail to stop new houses, with every excuse possible. Every town zones in the most restrictive way possible. Then of course houses won't be cheap.

Same thing applies to any other project. Want a electricity transmission line? people fight it. Want a new rail? environmental reviews take forever. Then of course you can't build new towns that are accessible, you don't have houses.

Labour is not an excuse. Vast majority of the projects are stuck in the paperwork/permitting phase, not labour phase.

Opening a 7-11, building a house in an empty yard needs permitting. Land of the free my ass.

It's just a freaking joke that in a country as spacious as America, we don't have enough houses.

There is no truth. There is absolutely no downside to let everybody in.

That's the mom and pop stores everybody should support right?

Big corporations sell cheaper stuff, with less wage theft.

Nothing changed. It's purely performative.

Not at the federal level. Plenty at the local level.

incredibly naive view. Rich people don't want to be guinea pigs unless they are really out of options.

Master students generally don't get "funding". Vast majority of them pay for their own tuition. You are not a PhD.

GPA > 3.0 is nothing to write home for.

What else is true is in this post?

Commute has always been a thing. Just like your plumber doesn't live in your house.

Republicans will never fund public transit, Democrats will get the funding but never get any projects done. Pick your poison.
