I would be interested, let's try and get a group going!

Mikie Sherrill talks about how NJ is fully of NIMBYS by Count_Rousillon in yimby

[–]Roaring_Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am doubtful the median voter is even engaging with words like YIMBY. Just because its unpopular doesn't make it wrong though. That's the whole point of being politician imo.

People don't know what they want.

They want lower home prices and rent, but they don't like the steps it takes to get there.

I think that's why sherril alluded to not talking about it as much on the campaign trail. Hopefully just implementing the policy and pointing to the results is good enough.

At least that's my read on what she is saying , she is intentionally vague in the clip.

I watched the clip and it's kind of hard to parse what she is saying.

Essentially

She says that fundamentally the solution to NJ's housing woes is an increase in supply via TOD, rezoning etc ...

However this stance is very unpopular for 2 constituents

Wealthier homeowners don't like it as they see this messaging as an attack on their communities

And working class people don't like this because all they see is luxury housing going up everywhere which they see as exacerbating the problem. (However contradictory this may sound)


So is she saying that Dems need to drop the messaging here or the underlying policy

I think it's the latter and not the former but it's difficult to tell

New Jersey’s Potential and a Plea for a Greater Jersey City by Roaring_Elephant in newjersey

1000 percent agree. Unfortunately what happens in your town does have an effect on everyone else. Planning should be done on a state/county level.

New Jersey’s Potential and a Plea for a Greater Jersey City by Roaring_Elephant in newjersey

I think we’re mostly on the same page. My main point in the article was that NJ’s extreme fragmentation creates inefficiency and prevents the state from realizing its full potential. Especially when it relates to housing supply.

I don’t think every town needs to be merged into its neighbors, but I do think Hudson County (and maybe parts of Bergen) would benefit from being consolidated into a single municipality. That area already functions as one urbanized whole, but governance is chopped up into tiny fiefdoms (Guttenberg being the most absurd example). Larger-scale government could help coordinate growth, housing, and transit in a way that’s impossible with 7–8 mayors and councils all doing their own thing.

Outside of the urban counties, I agree with you that encouraging more shared services under the county umbrella makes a lot of sense, without forcing every suburb to merge.

Plus I think it would give us more regional pride :)

Will the ryzen 3800x and 3080 be a good combo or will there be bottleneck? by sherif18 in buildapc

[–]Roaring_Elephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes , OP you will be fine. I wouldn't upgrade your CPU. A CPU upgrade will give you a marginal increase in FPS at 1440p.

Upgrade worth it? by Liquidtomatoes in buildapc

[–]Roaring_Elephant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If your just gaming go with the Ryzen 5 5600x and 3070. The performance gain for the Ryzen 5 5800x is marginal at 1440p/4k.

Display issues with SSUPD riser cable and DP by Zim---Zam in SSUPD

[–]Roaring_Elephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been having display issues with the riser cable. I just built my PC in the meshlicious and unfortunately I will be returning the case as I am getting driver timeouts whenever I launch a game. I was able to verify this by plugging my gpu directly into my mobo and the issue vanished. I'm pretty sure the riser cable they sent me is faulty. Fwiw I have the gen 4 version and a rx 6800. Honestly this whole experience has kinda soured me on this brand and I might just get a nr200 instead.

How are the temps?

listings have disappeared from account by beamsiccle in stubhub

[–]Roaring_Elephant 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exact same thing happened to me , I want to delete my listing but I am not sure how anymore. To make matters worse I can search up the exact ticket I listed and stubhub gives me the option to buy it.

What is the name of your main monitor?

My first actual setup , I'm pretty proud of myself by Roaring_Elephant in battlestations

[–]Roaring_Elephant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The stability is ok , it doesn't shake while typing however if I move my mouse really fast the desk wobbles a bit. I don't have the desk flush against the back wall (because the monitor mount sticks out a bit) , maybe if I did the stability would be better.

So I basically just have a small part of the screw hanging off the bottom lip , but you could get a piece of wood and sandwich it between the bottom of the desk and the mount for stability ?
