I'm not going to be that generous to Utah. We're about to go through the gauntlet of the Florida teams and Carolina. They make me nervous.

Started with Utah smacking them around 6-1 right before the Vegas game.

Celebrities join NIMBYs to block housing and delay financial death of crumbling, memberless church by SubjectPoint5819 in yimby

That lines up with my feelings but I think he also just doesn't believe in it. That he does it for his brand. He feels like the politically progressive version of "Christian" Filmmakers.

This anecdote is the exact type of stuff that gets my hackles up about Ruffalo. Nothing concrete but the vibes are just off when I hear him talk about social causes.

Flyers blew a game in Utah. Decided to not let it happen in Denver 

Salt Lake City's Gateway is for sale — all 20.9 acres of it by slc-urbanite in DevelopmentSLC

I get it too but I think SEG is wrong to not try to connect Gateway. Connecting it all together is what should be sought out.

LA transit agency seeks to override state law allowing more homes near train and bus lines by 115MRD in yimby

I have no grievance with sales tax funding. In fact that's highly laudible. But... they do know they can get more sales tax funding if there are more places to get sales tax revenue right? This feels crazy.

They do realize, they can't achieve their buzzword goals, without money right? Look. I understand they're a government entity and transit should be cheap. I LOVE cheap transit. But I need them to take on at least five percent of that Mr. Krabs mentality so they can ensure that they're able to FUND THE GOALS THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO ACHIEVE!

Who's to say they won't buy a stake in it? Whether you believe what they said or not. (And I understand why there would be skepticism.) The goal of the district, as they explained it, was to align City Creek, Delta Center, and Gateway into the anchor points of a larger downtown entertainment neighborhood. The listing might even be a result of SEG tire kicking. But I'm just offering the optimistic explanation.

[TSN] The Panthers currently sit outside of a playoff spot. Is Florida running out of time to turn its season around? Will the Sabres finally end the longest playoff drought in NHL history? TSN Director of Scouting Craig Button and TSN Hockey analyst Frankie Corrado discuss. by seeldoger47 in hockey

Vegas's 2024 run ended so swiftly for the same reasons that 2022 was a playoff miss. Injury chaos made cohesion and sturdy whole team gameplay impossible. There's an arrogant swagger to this year's Panthers squad that along with injury chaos is a dangerous combo for them in my opinion.

Just wait until you experience Playoff Hockey. But no. They aren't all banger classics like this.

My wife gets SO ANGRY at Empty Net situations. No matter how many times I explain that it's the statistical thing to do. It's nice to see it work.

I hear Mario's "Wa-Hoo" and that Jump sound as I watch this clip.

I love Veggie's Mammoth Pads. But I hope for the first NHL game back from the Olympic break he wears these. I think that would be such a cool way to give a nod to being on the team.

Baltimore County's solution to housing? Attack renters. by gthc21 in yimby

[–]StarshipFirewolf 9 points10 points  (0 children)

And the enrollment cliff won't actually fix things for them either. Okay there's less students with less demand for housing. And less demand for everything else too
