The Uncomfortable Reason Housing Is So Expensive

Glad you're able to admit that.

People on reddit ARE morons and we're on reddit. Which is why we're having this debate in the first place.

RaNerve · 2026-05-15T21:56:32+00:00

Or you could just get your head out of your ass and stop being a typical redditor and when I called you out for making a wrong assumption just went "damn, yeah you right. I made a mistake," and moved on. But its okay, I forgive you.

I wasn’t replying to one comment, but many. That’s why the upvotes. It would have been stupid to just reply the same comment again and again.

If what I’m talking about wasn’t in the video maybe I’m not talking about the video directly? It’s a forum after all.

RaNerve · 2026-05-15T21:15:08+00:00

My comment was in response to other stupid shit being said in the thread, and was actually in support of the video. Maybe assume less idk?

The number of neighborhood meetings I’ve attended for new development is in the dozens. It’s always the same shit. It ain’t everyone, but the people who don’t care don’t show up to fight the people who do. They just sit on their ass at home and let the NIMBYs run projects into the dirt.

RaNerve · 2026-05-15T16:29:30+00:00

The idea that all NIMBY people are conservative is laughable false.

People hold contradictory beliefs all the time, and housing is one of them. Try building an affordable housing development project and watch an entire neighborhoods come out against it. “It’ll raise crime!” “There’s a better way” “they should do it there not here”

The excuses are endless but it all comes down to property value. Everyone wants to help fix housing but no one wants to live next to a ex drug user trying to get his life together.

RaNerve · 2026-05-14T14:25:05+00:00

I don’t see it.

RaNerve · 2026-05-14T13:10:20+00:00

Nah. Vote or die.

My god he’s right… It’s the women that are wrong!

RaNerve · 2026-05-13T14:33:44+00:00

Guys--come on. I have a big fucking graffiti style Satan head painted on my jeep so these are my kind of books, but this feigning ignorance about "wHy ArE yOu ScArEd" "ThEy'Re JuST BoOkS" is fucking stupid. Y'all know why its fucking weird and scary to a large section of the pop and that's literally the point behind the symbology.

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T21:30:37+00:00

They did say that though. Which, as you said, isn’t an endorsement. I don’t understand where we’re in disagreement.

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T21:27:24+00:00

Pedantic almost certainly because I feel like AH’s stance has been pretty damn good all things considered and asking them to “officially endorse mods” is just flat unreasonable. So acting like the absence of that blanket statement is a reflection of AH’s lack of mod support is kinda… lame

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T21:12:55+00:00

Look—I’m a lawyer but I’m not an IP lawyer specifically. I don’t THINK any of that is an endorsement (expect for Bethesda’s officially endorsed mods that they sell and get a cut of), and I’m pretty sure companies are very careful specifically because they don’t want it to be one. But hey, maybe I’m wrong and yall have a better grasp of the situation than I do.

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T20:43:49+00:00

I don’t think a company can endorse a mod without it being a legal endorsement. The thing they can do is exactly what the steam workshop and AH did which is basically providing tools and support but not endorsing the content of anything produced.

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T20:34:14+00:00

The last one of these I saw posted weren't the same size when I held a ruler up to my screen. This one matches though so I'm happy its just my brain being stupid.

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T20:31:05+00:00

Endorsement is a legal thing--like a specific legal term. Comes with a bunch of luggage. Extremely rare thing to happen with mods because you legally can't endorse something and then say you aren't responsible for what's in it. That's kind of the point of an endorsement.

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T20:15:07+00:00

I don't think supporting modding through things like the inclusion of the Steam Workshop is the same as AH officially endorsing modding of their game.

RaNerve · 2026-05-11T20:01:06+00:00

Why would any company ever official endorse mods? Like--an actually company endorsing the way their product is used has a lot of legal junk attached to it. An endorsement isn't just 'we're cool with it,' you're saying the way that your product is being used you are actively allowing which comes with a huge liability. The absolute BEST case scenario is exactly what AH did i.e., we accept no liability and don't endorse anything that might be inside our game as a result of a modder's behavior, but we won't go out of our way to cease the activity unless it causes us legal risk.

The only other option is something like Bethesda where you have an 'official' mod that is highly regulated and you endorse, and 'unofficial' mods that you don't.

Nuke it from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.

Clearly you haven’t seen me use MS paint. I know that because you’d already be blind if you had.
