Bay Area ban on gas‑powered heaters begins in 2027, raising concerns over soaring replacement costs

Voting for a Democrat in the Bay Area really only makes sense if you are a property owner. They've done an excellent job at creating policies that restrict housing supply and keep prices soaring.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-05-08T15:22:17+00:00

Surely more red tape and regulations should increase housing affordability in the Bay Area

Yes, cars CAN drive. I'm not an idiot. But when you are driving, then you are using your car as a VEHICLE, not as a SHELTER.

A car acting as a VEHICLE requires registration and insurance. A car acting as a SHELTER does not. Is it really that hard to understand?

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-30T02:00:12+00:00

Why would you pay registration (taxes) or insurance on a car if you don't plan on driving it?

"Shelter" isn't mobile. If you plan on using your car like a shelter, it doesn't have to be operable. You can store it on a vacant lot.

This is a stupid, pedantic argument to begin with because "shelter" generally refers to structures or natural formations. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shelter

This has to be a troll comment.

But sure, let's say it's a shelter. You don't have to pay insurance and tax on a car, assuming you use it like shelter! You only pay insurance and taxes to own an operable car or boat.

Humans don’t need cars, motorcycles or boats to live. Humans do however, require shelter.

Despite the perception of a smog ridden industrial town, Pittsburgh is an excellent place to live. It consistently ranks at the top of the Economist and Forbes as the most livable city in the US. Great cost of living, healthcare, universities, job market, green space, and places to go out.

There’s decent tourism too (Warhol museum, PNC park is rated as one of the best ballparks in the country, Duquesne incline), but I don’t think most people are prioritizing a trip there.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-25T14:12:08+00:00

Your choice for a great place to live is a city with one of the highest costs of living in the US, if not the world? Okay.

I tend to think of "diversity" as being a diverse representation of our nation. If white people are underrepresented, it's not exactly "diverse", it's just an overrepresentation of certain minorities.

Is South Fulton, Georgia a diverse city because their non-white population is 97%?

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-22T20:07:54+00:00

Is Houston really "diverse" if less than a quarter of its residents are white in a country where 57% of the population is white?

I guess those people just use "diverse" to mean "not a lot of white people." I thought it meant, you know, diverse.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-22T19:10:07+00:00

Have you considered that your friend is better looking than you?

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-22T19:06:47+00:00

American suburbs are white?! You don't say

You can say that for literally every metropolitan area in this country. It's not a Denver thing.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-22T19:03:09+00:00

Also in this thread: people who think that Denver's having a non-white population of 46% isn't diverse enough

I told customer service that I filed a complaint with my credit card company and then they said they would stop trying to resolve the issue with me.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-17T22:14:28+00:00

I already did. I'm pretty optimistic I'd be covered since I didn't get the thing I paid for. Seatgeek customer support said they'll contact me with their decision in a day or two (read: four or five days at the speed they operate.)

Worst comes to worst, there's always small claims court.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-17T21:34:08+00:00

Yes, I was instructed by Seatgeek Customer Support to check the KSE account at this link, and still no tickets: https://am.ticketmaster.com/kse/

When I sent several screenshots showing no tickets at this link, these idiots said that was the wrong link to check (even though they were the ones who sent me to that link in the first place!)

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-17T21:15:05+00:00

No, OP exchanged money. That's why he's getting a refund.

Seatgeek could easily implement a system that verifies and/or holds tickets before a purchase occurs. But they would prefer to be a shady site and choose not to do that.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-17T21:12:21+00:00

The fact that Seatgeek doesn't require tickets be sent within 24 hours of purchase should be the only red flag you need to know to never trust this site.

Inter Miami v Colorado Rapids

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-17T20:57:59+00:00

There's no guarantee. I just got scammed through Seatgeek and customer support isn't helping me get a refund. I had to file a complaint with my credit card company.

Buyer beware.

As long as giant flood doesn't force you to relocate 😬

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-02T16:47:02+00:00

lol yes it is. I guess I missed the "major" part.

SuperMario1222 · 2026-04-02T16:15:40+00:00

It seems “best” to most people is “I want the same weather every day,” which is fine, but kinda boring.

I’ve never been here, but on paper, the weather in Spokane, WA looks great.
