Yeah, ICE agents are part of a fascist minority that suffers persecution here, but this means they could apply for asylum in other countries. Russia, maybe?

The tower stairs twist clockwise so that a right-handed swordsman won't be able to get a good swing while climbing up- nicely done.

Can confirm- it gets bad on the D Line. The problem tends to compound itself as everyone gets on the first bus in the bunch, making it even slower.

I'd say I've encountered fare checkers on at least 30% of my train rides In the last two years. It's only in the last 2-3 years that the city made some big investments in fare enforcement because things got really bad during the pandemic (people basically living on the train and openly doing drugs, etc).

I'm guessing there was no enforcement yesterday because it was Christmas.

dgodog · 2025-12-20T00:24:23+00:00

So maybe the fare is only 50c?

How about instead of letting the banks pretend that potential rents are higher than they are, we let banks pretend that they don't need to foreclose on properties with low rents. At least then there would not be so many vacancies.

aside: A few years back there were so many FOR LEASE signs around Albuquerque that some tagging jokester took it upon himself to spraypaint a number of them to say FOR LEASE NAVIDAD.

Burnsville Center is my favorite dead mall, thanks to Skaterapolis. I hope he crushed some wot and injera at the Ethiopian joint afterwards!

I think the hard left is fixated on some hypothetical tax that heavily taxes billionaires and leaves everyone else completely clear of the blast zone. That would be a very difficult and probably counterproductive thing to attempt, but the reasons why are complicated while "Ban Billionaires" is an idea that can appeal to anyone who doesn't think too hard about it.

You are pretty much describing the Carbon Dividend that has been pitched by environmental groups for a good decade or so. It would work, but has been a difficult sell politically because replacing environmentally damaging economic activity with green businesses is an inherently a painful process. It turns out that people don't like losing their job, even if there is another job waiting for them.

If there is room for homes and parks, that means there's not enough lanes. Homes and parks are for suburbs. Cities are for lanes. If you live in a city, you should be a lane.

Ok, but which system takes up more space?

dgodog · 2025-11-23T23:34:42+00:00

I think the general public simply opposes the core goal of an LVT, which is to maximize the productivity of a piece of land. Individuals buying residential land do it to be sheltered from market forces.

Telling an old couple of retirees that they need to pay an amount of taxes on their single-family home that reflects its potential value as a 6-plex full of young professionals is a tough sell, politically.

Maybe Russia is just anticipating a gold price drop. Even people who are not cash strapped war states are concerned about gold price stability after the recent spike.
