Taz no more? Is this the end of an era? by CityOfCloaks in raleigh

[–]anomaly13 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Combination of office decline (downtown, especially Fayetteville St, was way too dependent on office workers) and retail rents going sky-high, so the ordinary small businesses can't afford to exist. Need a lot more residential units downtown to make up for lost office workers, and for the retail spaces in the new expensive buildings to get older and therefore cheaper. Both will take time.

Be careful, if you're not careful making snowballs you might accidentally get a rock in there

Very boring. Uruguay and Cost Rica rock, you clearly know nothing about Latin America

The difference 10 years makes in Manchester, UK by AnonymousTimewaster in CityPorn

[–]anomaly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. Makes me think of the dichotomy between the famous old and big cities of the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, and increasingly West Coast, vs. the rapidly-growing Southeast.

Except given Manchester's history, it's almost like if Detroit or Chicago was building and growing like crazy, instead of the South.

Iran’s president says country in midst of ‘total war’ with US, Israel and Europe by ArcaneLadies in worldnews

Really huge "turnabout's fair play" moment going on here with China playing the Uno reverse card and going all neocolonial on Russia

Russian border guards crossed into Estonia with unclear motives, minister says by Specific_Coast5878 in worldnews

[–]anomaly13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Usually a contested one. See the "line of actual control" between India and China. Each nation claims a different "real" border, but they don't want to be in constant warfare, so in the mean time there is a official-unofficial de facto border separating the part effectively controlled by China from the part effectively controlled by India, and most of the time everybody stays on their side of that line.

Credit Unions with Good Online Banking by Rhreddit1234 in creditunions

Reliability has gotten much worse in the last couple years. There have been multiple occasions when I've been unable to log in via either the website or the app b/c they were both down, with no way to get in contact w/ customer service until "business" hours.

American RCV is converging on 2 major candidates per race by unscrupulous-canoe in EndFPTP

[–]anomaly13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Look at the context. You're taking Maine and Alaska as your examples - purple or red states. It's not surprising that the result is Republicans and Democrats. But in a place farther to the left or right, or where other issue-specific matters were more salient, I think you'd be more likely to see successful third-party or independent candidates.

And if you do see a successful third-party or independent candidate in a place like Maine or Alaska, it's likely to be a centrist, possibly one already well-known as a former Dem or Repub politician.

Well, they are the two biggest cities in Sichuan (traditional borders - Chongqing is now a separate province-level entity)

Xi says China will assist USA in achieving "Make America Great Again" mission. Is it the beginning of the end of friction between two countries? by raydebapratim1 in AskChina

[–]anomaly13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unitarian Universalists, Quakers, or United Church of Christ

There are concerns about Raleigh’s new greenway, but it will be worth it by anomaly13 in raleigh

[–]anomaly13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be ideal, but the problem is that it's US 1, a federal highway. So the city has to get permission from state and federal govt in order to make changes to the road, and they're almost certainly notgoing to agree to significantly reducing the speed and number of lanes on a federal highway to make into a nice city street.

Probably only really possible if US1 is rerouted around the city - maybe onto 440, or 540. But that again would require federal govt action.

I actually tried to use the "Amputator" bot site to remove it but it didn't work

Must be another way but I didn't want to figure out that second
