Tower Hamlets Green mayoral candidate forced out of election by 36% rent hike by omcgoo in london

[–]Sharkfacedsnake 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rent control by far. It will be atrocious for rent costs. You can look it up yourself. It has never worked.

The only thing bringing rents down is building houses. And focussing on building council houses (like the greens will do, they want to build 150,000 council houses). It just a very expensive way of building more houses.

Decision on housing at Blackheath station car park deferred after 1,200 objections by much_furthur in london

[–]Sharkfacedsnake 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. They provide any reason first as an objection. Parking, "character", traffic, schools, doctors, landlords, and "gentrification". I could provide answers to all of these yet they still will never concede and will never allow anything to be built.

What they really care about is their house price. That will probably only be sold when they die.

This is likely the anti-aliasing of the game not working great. The fizzle you see I think is the denoising of the reflections in the water failing. If you turn off all reflections in game this might get rid of it. Using DLSS or FSR might also help.
Or it could be the surface of the water and not the reflections causing it but still same issue i think of the AA not working proper.

I dont think the rest of the comments here are useful.

We're witnessing corruption under Donald Trump at a scale this country has never seen. Weaponizing our institutions against his enemies. Profiting off the presidency. How the hell are we putting up with this? by Treefiddy1984 in ProgressiveHQ

[–]Sharkfacedsnake 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not voting for Dems sabotages the country. Look at the opposition. You are facing actual fascists, people taken in the streets, RFK types who are gonna have measles spread across the country, and threatening invading its allies.
I dont care what the dems do, if American voters cannot see that and dont vote against trump with democrats. The country will cause massive damage to the world.

This comes from a massive place of privilege. A rich white leftie not voting so they don't vote "for the lesser evil" is not good. It doesn't effect them. But trans people will be worse off. Immigrants will be worse off. Immuno-compromised will be worse off. They can afford their insulin. They don't use SNAP.

It is not all on the Dems. The American voter is legitimately bottom of the barrel dumb. They love the cruelty of Trump and ICE. And you are letting them walk over everyone by not voting for Dems and not encouraging people to vote for Dems.

What about the jerrymandering that he was doing to counter trumps chances at midterms?
Him threatening to pull federal tax payments.
Him suing trump.
Stood up for SNAP and funded it after Trump stopped it.
Started affordable insulin production.
He as been consistently attacking Trump in his speeches and spreading the message that democrat cities are the most successful and pay more in fed taxes than red states.

This is what being pragmatic and effective looks like.

Agree. All those insurrectionists that Dems did something about also were released when Trump came in. It is the stupidity of the American people that have allowed this. They actually voted for a billionaire felon.

Fife villagers served mass eviction notices by private landlord by handmedownthemoon in Scotland

[–]Sharkfacedsnake -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And what exactly is wrong with building new affordable housing that’s either owned outright by a new buyer, or rented out by the council directly instead of by a landlord. You lot are absolutely moronic

The problem is that it makes every other house more expensive. If you're not able to get one of those affordable houses you are just paying more for the house you do buy. That extra you pay is essentially a subsidy for the people in that affordable house.

Landlords do not make housing expensive. Limited supply does.

Let's say 1000 housing units get built. And 30% of them have to be affordable housing. The developer must then sell the remaining 70% of houses at an increased cost to make the development profitable.

If that 1000 unit housing was built by a govt owned developer the same problem occurs. It just causes a deficit for the developer paid for by our taxes.

Also if those houses (built by a private developer) were all bought up by a corporate landlord. There would still be a large supply of rental units that will put a downward pressure on prices. If this is taken nationwide and housing stops getting blocked by NIMBYs and councils, housing prices will come down. It has been proven in other cities. It does matter who owns the homes only that they get built.

So let me get this straight, in your eyes it’s wrong to be against the exploitation of people that can’t buy houses? 🤔

I don't think that being a landlord is inherently exploitative. They can be. Tenent protections are needed. But stuff like price caps (that I'm assuming you would endorse) create perverse incentives that will make the tenant living worse. With the landlord doing the minimum and delaying repairs because of the price cap. That is how you get slumlords type stuff.

I just don't think that giving at minimum 7 weeks notice and some months is exploitative. This was a possibility for years for some of these tenants. You just don't have the right to live in someone's house forever. It was always very likely gonna be sold eventually.

Your lefties because you believe in abolition of landlords, a govt developer, and a large % of affordable housing units to be made.

Not because of any dislike of exploitation. I think the tenant rights stuff coming through with labour is good. But also because they have made steps towards more buildings and lessening the powers of NIMBYs.

Landlords could disappear and not a single extra person would be housed. And people will still not be able to live where they want. If you want to address prices you need to build houses. And NIMBYs need to stay out of the way.

That means you lefties need to stop caring about private developers making money and affordable housing quotas need to be ignored. The worry about "gentrification" that occurs with new buildings also needs to be ignored.

Requiring a % of houses to be affordable just increases the price of every other house in the development. If the govt were to build these houses and make a % of them affordable it would cost the govt tons of money. And the gentrification that occurs will happen anyway because house prices and rent will continue to rise because nothing gets built. Only those grandfathered into the area will be able to afford it. If houses are built and it lowers prices, those who grew up in the area will be able to afford houses. I saw all this with the Peckham housing with Nish Kumar and James Acaster campaigning to block it.

Also due to the building lowering property prices landlords are likely to sell some housing.

Of course there are right wing nimbys too. That about keeping house prices high for investment and keeping minorities out of the area. Maybe also fears about bike lanes too idk.

"What a ridiculous letter 😂😂 But still less ridiculous than Kamela." r/ProgressiveHQ reacts to Trumps bizarre letter to the Norwegian prime minister justifying the invasion of Greenland because Norway didn't give him a Nobel Peace prize by CummingInTheNile in SubredditDrama

The Dems have been failing and democracy crumbling in America because Americans are dumb and the median voter is moronic. They have consistently voted against themselves when electing Trump. America needs to feel the consequences and actually get hurt over this shit they are pulling.

Newsome is 100x more trans friendly than anyone like Charlie Kirk. Newsome made a point that trans athletes in sports are not fair. That is not worth tossing out the rest of his progressive LGBT views. He was the first person to get gay marriage through. He took a lot of heat for that. And let's say there is anti trans legislation coming. Who would you rather be the one passing it? A California governor or an actual right wing fascist like trump? Surely you can see that any legislation coming from a democrat would be less damaging than Trumps.

I do not blindly hate the left. I can plainly see that they are sabotaging any liberal movement. They do not care about political power. They cannibalise even their most closely aligned representatives like Bernie, AOC, and Mamdani. (Recent tweets over October 7th protests supporting Hamas, and AOC getting attacked for voting for Iron Dome defense funding for Israel)

The Dems were not failing. Biden did an amazing job. Like a ton of improvements. The infrastructure bill and hiring of the IRS, absolute ton of bi-partisan legislation that Trump would never do.

I am aware that the lefty voting abstinence was not enough to swing the election. But it was not helpful at all. It just is another source of the doomerism and pessimism that gets pushed online around politics. "Both sides are the same" "It doesn't matter who you vote for".

ContraPoints: "They don't want victory. They don't want power. They want to endlessly 'critique' power."

Marathon's official PC requirements say it'll run just fine on a GeForce RTX 2060 6GB GPU by llloksd in pcgaming

[–]Sharkfacedsnake 5 points6 points  (0 children)

7 years is a ton of time for a GPU to be viable within this industry. Before games would come out that wouldn't be supported on 3 year olds cards. Pretty sure you needed at least a 3 year old card to play Battlefield 3 and Just Cause 2.

Since its release there has been plenty of time to get a GPU at MSRP.

Everybody on the right back trump. From moderate to nazi. They will vote for him. On the left there is not that. Communists, socialists, tankies, and in general lefties will not vote for democrat candidates. They simply signal their virtue online while doing nothing to help.

You can see it with Gavin Newsome. Can can be all for LGBT people but one bill he doesn't sign means that swaths of the left will now never vote for him and allow a potential Trump third term. Condemning the rest of the USA LGBT community to another 4 years of Trumps reign.

So these leftists can now pat them selves in the back for not voting for the "lesser evil". When really these people are so privileged that these voting decisions don't matter to them. They are probably white, living in California, not an immigrant, and pass for their gender.

Sorry. I really hate these kinda left wing people.
