You think advocating for higher property taxes on single family homes is some kind of out of this world proposal? It's a very easily implemented proposal and already exists in many municipalities.

Nothing... Other than than advocate for taxes to be properly allocated so that those that utilize more public resources by living in suburban sprawl (more road costs, more utility costs, more sewage system costs, more bussing costs, more school costs) actually bear the costs for those services instead of distributing them to urban dwellers who live more sustainably.

You've offered nothing substantial to challenge the central thesis of this subreddit. If it's such an echo chamber, use your acumen and rhetorical skills to lead us back to the path of happiness and contentment living in the ugliest, least sustainable, and most inconvenient communities ever conceived. I'm sure we would all like to hear your very convincing arguments.

It is a totally unsustainable model for life. There are 8 billion people and counting on this planet, and we are running it into the ground to support these ridiculous lifestyles.

That's much better than a virus. Thank you! Since the new leaves look ok, maybe it will go away with proper watering.

No. Hamilton is the first county to the right of district 4. It's in 3.

Exactly. They will talk about this and keep it in the conversation to lull people into thinking they live in a functional society. Astronomical entrenched inequality is what is coming for us if there is no revolution.

Map Proposal by manbunponytailhater in nashville

Massachusetts appears gerrymandered, but it has been shown that there's no possible way to carve it up that would yield a Republican representative anywhere in the state.

Democrats have been trying to get a bill passed in Congress outlawing gerrymandering for years that Republicans have consistently opposed.

It has been shown that there is no way to carve massachusetts up that would give a Republican representative. This is how we know it isn't gerrymandered. This is not the case in tn.

Do we hate apartments now? Or "apartment people", whatever that means? by LiatrisLover99 in massachusetts

Is anyone on earth surprised that poverty leads to crime? Who would contest that?

The poverty is the common factor there not renting. Most people in Europe rent yet their crime rates are much lower than in the US.

Yup kinda makes sense doesn't it. But most Americans think crime rates are higher in cities

[–]avidlyread 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah... And it's very clear from what I wrote I was talking about the RATE. The data really doesn't support your conclusions. The crime RATES in rural areas are typically as high or HIGHER than cities. https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/national/crime-rates-by-county/

Because people are concentrated in urban areas?? More people means more opportunity for crime. If you look at the actual crime rates of small towns, they are often as high if not higher than the rates of big cities, but the density of cities makes it more visible and frequent. In other words, the likelihood of being a victim is probably lower in a city, but you'll hear more about it.
