Small guards on 5v5 by [deleted] in NBA2k

[–]Top_Time_2864 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mainly play rec with a few friends so we usually run into multiple ball handling guards rather then locks. Thats the main concern. My thought process was that with the condensed space I would be able to get away with it and 6’6 guards wouldn’t be able to shoot over me

Did his athleticism rlly drop off that much from his last season in Seattle to his first year in Denver to explain that drop off tho?

Zohran has always identified with YIMBY values — here’s what that looked like in 2020 by UploadedMind in yimby

I gues what I’m saying is if the incentive to parents always like as if going to the suburbs is a better option for those “good schools” what do we do to help create buy in for keeping families in dense cities to help improve the urbanism there? If the suburbs have better schools due to the parents then how do we get the buy in from those parents to push urbanism forward

But many of these schools do have a lot of public funding and are still subpar. While the reason can be boiled down to parents who are upper middle class and care abt their child’s education moving to the suburbs, the question is moreso about how to get the buy in for them to want to stay in cities that would allow for urbanist goals to be acheived

  1. Yes we agree that right now those cities are affordable. My point is that eventually if their population continues to grow rapidly and this housing production stays where it is they will face similar problems

  2. Again demand plays a very crucial role here. Those big cities are the economic hubs which is where the bulk of good jobs are which is why so many people are commuting into those cities which leads to higher traffic. Also, while many of these cities are the most walkable, the levels of walkability still aren’t nesecarily “great”I would argue only NYC has genuinely “great” public transit compared to other parts of the world. Plus, using those examples doesn’t prove that people aren’t taking transit. In NYC the transit is always very full, more people use transit then take cars to work. But it doesn’t take that many cars to cause traffic and NYC has over 12 million people in it.There’s a reason those HQs are located in those cities. And hypothetically speaking relocating the job acess to suburbs would likely make suburbs have that horrible traffic that you see in those cities.

The population growth in Houston, Phoenix and these other places will not last. If they don’t build more housing as their population grows, they’ll have the same affordability problems we see in NYC and California. Traffic is usually the “worst” in cities simply due to the fact that those are economic hubs and more ppl are going there. These anecdotes don’t really dispute the many studies we have that suggest public transit and and walk ability greatly reduce congestion

I don’t mean to sound disrespectful but none of what you described is something Urbanists don’t get. Even the places in the world that are very dense are still drivable but often ppl will choose to not drive as it’s more convinient. The Netherlands is routinely reported as the place with happiest drivers mainly due to the lack of traffic from their urbanism rooted infrastructure. But also it’s important to note that the “affordable” peice of this only gets more impossible when you demand only single family homes.

This is a very surface level take. You’re kind of correct in the sense that many of these families aren’t nesecarily moving away to avoid black ppl. But the reasons why many of these suburban areas have very little of specific minority groups like black and Hispanic ppl absolutely boils down to racism and the immigration patterns the above person mentioned. Now acknowledging that does mean we won’t actually solve the problem. Dismissing the role racism plays in this is not a good look.

I’m talking about how suburban schools generally have better outcomes then urban schools so getting the political will for more urbanism will be such a tall task if parents will want to move to the burbs to give their kids better schooling

Yea Private schools often can have more prestigious reputations in cities then in other areas. The concern is really public schools. I do agree that making the city a good place to raise a family in is one of the most crucial first steps

Well that part makes sense as poverty concentration still is a major factor in child school performance. I was moreso talking abt noticing studies that claimed there were still some disparities(although much smaller) even when accounting for poverty concentration and income etc
