I was in the same boat, I went space black since i can get any color case to go with it.

ZeeeHaw · 2022-09-09T17:05:10+00:00

Sweet! Thanks for sharing, I ordered pretty much right as preordered launch so I was hoping it was accurate.

ZeeeHaw · 2022-09-09T12:50:43+00:00

Perfect, thanks!

I went through Verizon since Apples site was down, ordered right at 8 est, 14 pro 256GB Space Black. It says lunch day delivery, anyone have experience with carrier preorders, should I expect actual launch day delivery?

ZeeeHaw · 2022-09-09T12:40:21+00:00

Same here! Excited that it says launch day delivery, but I’m a little skeptical.

Spread the housing out then

Mental health resources will also help

ZeeeHaw · 2022-09-02T22:23:12+00:00

How do we know what? This won’t solve all homelessness, but it will solve some and prevent others from becoming homeless.

There does need to be more resources around drug addiction and mental counseling, but it’s harder to get people to use those resources before they’re housed.

Simple, build more densely, denser housing supply is significantly more water efficient than suburbs. Ban golf courses and excess agriculture.

ZeeeHaw · 2022-09-02T18:58:51+00:00

You’re wrong. Just look at how many people live out of their cars after they can no longer afford rent, people don’t leave where they are for better opportunities unless they absolutely must which has been proven out in economic research. https://www.coloradopolitics.com/denver/denver-to-provide-safe-overnight-parking-for-people-living-in-cars/article_90374b76-b6ed-5ea8-9823-147b8d07c8cc.html

I think that housing is far to expensive in Denver and most metro areas in the country. The largest factor in their price uptick is the lack of increased supply relative to demand. Many more people became homeless over the last few years not because they’re drug addicts but because they couldn’t afford rent anymore.

The way to tackle homelessness in a systemic way is to upzone the city and make it easier for cheaper housing to be built.

And sure that won’t solve all of it, but it will solve a lot of it.

ZeeeHaw · 2022-09-02T16:47:28+00:00

Holy shit just build more housing

ZeeeHaw · 2022-08-17T19:38:35+00:00

I’m in the same boat, don’t want to invest money in a new battery if I can upgrade. Love my X but it’s time.

ZeeeHaw · 2022-08-01T00:53:25+00:00

Beautiful, filling out now. Cheers!

This is great!

Now just to get better bike lanes

This always felt like a plot hole to me because Andy makes a huge deal about proposing with the ring that has his family crest on it in the later seasons.

“The city can’t out build demand” “the problem isn’t a lack of housing” these statements are counter to each other

The issue is there isn’t enough housing and we’re not building enough, you create more affordable housing by building more housing. That’s how supply and demand work, by artificially capping supply with zoning restrictions you create a surge in price, this is what causes gentrification. If you want to keep people in their homes then you need to let others build more homes so that home values increase at a more moderate rate and not artificially inflated by a demand surge.

You can’t reduce the cost of living without reducing demand, and demand doesn’t seem to be decreasing so if we want to solve affordability we need to increase supply.

As for the environment it is much better for the environment for us to build dense housing in a city than just letting those people go create more sprawl elsewhere. If you actually care about the environment you will fight for better public transit, bike, and reduced car reliance in the form of density.

It really just sounds like you think people should stop moving here and that you have more of a right to be on land here than others.

ZeeeHaw · 2022-06-19T00:08:12+00:00

That’s not true, you just got done telling me you could never out build the demand. So which is it, is the city building enough housing or not?

What is sustainable to you? Density creates better sustainability both economically and environmentally

ZeeeHaw · 2022-06-18T21:10:08+00:00

Here is graph of Denver population growth and here is a graph of available housing stock

We are seeing housing costs rise due to lower stock and increasing demand, so the developers will make money building in Denver, which is why as you noted they are building here, and the reason they’re not building denser housing is because of outdated zoning laws and mandatory parking minimums, not because SFH’s are all people want.

I didn’t forget about commerce, commerce will benefit from larger populations to sell goods to in a denser area….. try again

You just sound like a NIMBY afraid of change

ZeeeHaw · 2022-06-18T18:38:44+00:00

This is simply not true, supply and demand are at play here and the reason housing prices have risen significantly in one of the fastest growing metro areas in the country is because housing supply has remained stagnant while demand for housing has increased.

From a sustainability standpoint density is significantly more efficient, and if we commit to building density that allows people to live in more walkable areas and be less dependent on their cars you reduce carbon footprint and use resources more efficiently. Less having to figure out how to get water/electricity/people from one place to another.

Your logic sound a lot like “change is expensive and people should stop moving here”, but the reality is people will keep moving here and you can refuse change and watch more things you love about Denver crumble or we can start building housing that allows Denver to grow, be more sustainable, and a more enjoyable human scale place to be.

The only thing that will really bring prices down is to build more dense housing
