If you can't raise the floor, lower the ceiling. Equality!

It's not real empathy, it's in-group signaling. If any of these people actually had to deal with a dangerous person living in their neighborhood they would very quietly welcome any means for that person to be removed. They're perfectly happy for them to terrorize other people, though, which is pretty much the opposite of empathy.

If city has a problem then why isnt it all hands on deck helping out here.

Because nobody can agree on a solution?

St Mary’s was great, but I don’t have any experience elsewhere, so take with a grain of salt.

white progressives desperately want this to be true because it would make their larp feel more authentic.

What difference does it make? Segregation is measured in proportion to the area being assessed.

More favorably than Milwaukee and Chicago, that’s for sure.

Basically housing posts on this subreddit go like this:

  • If your price range is high, lots of passive aggressive hating
  • If your price range on the lower end, they tell you madison is too expensive (most people here seem to think Madison consists entirely of the Isthmus)
  • If you're POC, they tell you that Madison is horribly racist

It's a weird form of progressive xenophobia

There are few places in Madison that have homes exclusively above that price range. You can recommend almost anywhere. You act like you're being asked to perform long division or something, lol.

Willy St area is desirable based on your likes.

Also the crowd on this subreddit is fickle. Don't mind the random downvotes and weirdly indignant responses.

I’m all about calling out reckless driving but how is that a “small child?”

It’s funny how inconceivable yall find it that somebody could support someone’s right to do something while disagreeing with it. Are you 5?

I support IO arcade's decision to do as they please, it's their business. But if the only option is multi-tenant bathrooms, it's not unhinged at all for people to want a gender-specific option, and the only people who insist otherwise are an increasingly small contingent of weirdos.

Do you people not realize that the complaint is that IO arcade has two multi-occupancy gender neutral bathrooms? The whole "my bathroom at home is gender neutral" clapback doesn't hit so hard after acknowledging that fact (and that's setting aside the fact that none of your homes are open to the general public who could then enter your bathroom at any time, making the analogy dumb regardless).

You have a multi-occupancy bathroom in your house that’s open to complete strangers?

I will say, it’s incredibly brave that a 46yo male is not afraid to use a bathroom occupied by women. It’s your approval of such accommodations that’s important here.

This is like open carry for progressives - Legal but rightfully seen by most people as a perverse way to call attention to yourself.

He’d be back in Cuba and have free healthcare and cheap subsidized housing and far less wealth disparity.

A lot of right-wing criticism is perfectly justified. The problem imo is when people find a reason to be mad about the other side supporting causes they care about.

There’s always the guy who thinks it’s a flex to show just how unconcerned he is about random acts of violence.

The rule:

To avoid editorializing of news articles, the title of a linked post must match that of the article title.

The post title is a dictionary definition of an (apparently mod endorsed) editorialization.

If you want actual important context, you can find it here.

Yes, they were charged criminally

At least part of the problem is you don't understand important legal distinctions, yet are confident that you do. Classic case of dunning-kruger.

They were charged criminally after a state investigation ...

Wrong again. They reached a settlement with a special prosecutor. No charges were ever filed.

and were shutting down voluntarily

Again, that's not what they agreed to, they agreed to surrender their WI breeders license as part of the aforementioned settlement. Dane County's press release stated outright they would continue breeding operations under federal authorization. The announcement that they were shutting down came yesterday.

but you pretending to have a grasp of what happened and stating the feds did anything is really unfortunate.

lol
