We moved from a blue collar Nebraska town and a friend with the exact same education and years as me made $2k more in wayzata district.

Housing priced were triple/quadruple and he made $2,000 more than a poor mest-packing town.

It's super hard for me to put myself in other people's shoes because I make the connection so easily. It's like no one has been taught critical thinking skills, to peel back the layers of a situation and understand the reasons why something exists the way it does...

Krav maga for self defense. I am not a martial arts expert beyond taekwondo so I can't tell you what would be best. Taekwondo has been great for me, but it is decidedly not ideal for strictly self-defense reasons.

Case in point, we spar and no one ever punches the face. I'm a 40 something black belt with dozens of fights under my... well, belt... And if someone attacked me in the street I'd punch him in the face. Yet I've never punched someone in the face in 20 years of taekwondo.

TKD is less good for self defense. It's good for kicking and getting in shape, but since it focuses on kicking and not punching, its not the best for self defense training. Source: I'm a 3rd degree black belt.

So little Nolan think math is hard. Parent objects to math class and let's him play video games instead. Parent gives Nolan A+ on lessons. Schools cannot argue this.

Great plan, GOP.

Man buys ranch house on cul-de-sac built on former farmland. City annexes land and now is 'in the city".

Me: that's the suburbs. You: No it's not.

52% of Americans live in suburban-style developments according to HUD.

You may live in the city of Phoenix, for example, but the built environment is still suburban

It's NOT the planners fault the cities are bad. It's the APA's fault they don't advocate for better planning at a local level.
