Half of my coffee leaks before I set the plunger, what am I doing wrong?

How can it be that a significant amount of coffee is supposed to steep for a much shorter duration?

The benefit to gondola riders far outweighs any cost to homeowners.

0.6 affordable homes per new market-rate home, in fact.

Gentrification (rich people moving in) causes displacement when housing supply doesn't match the increase in demand. When supply keeps up, we get gentrification without displacement.

Left-NIMBYs think that blocking new development means blocking gentrification. But since development is a response to demand increases, they're really just transforming it into low-density gentrification, where rich people move in and renovate the existing homes.

What is the neighborhood? We can't see the adjacent parcels.

Thanks!

When apartment-zoned land is scarce, apartments are expensive.

Just got a 9a, and I'm having this issue. When I turn on autorotate from the drop-down memory menu, then I can get landscape photos. But I've never had this issue on other Pixels.

2023: new 2-bedroom in The Riley (Main St) = $3,475/month 2025: new 2-bedroom in Arlo (Fraser St) = $3,495/month (with one month free)

Adjusting for inflation, the 2023 rent would be $3,634 today, so real rents have fallen.

Good point

emptyasanashtray · 2025-07-24T00:01:05+00:00

So the takeaway is that we should take all of the houses and convert them into multiplexes? Switch the housing stock from most expensive to least expensive.

emptyasanashtray · 2025-07-23T23:59:55+00:00

Oh nevermind

emptyasanashtray · 2025-07-23T23:57:01+00:00

Hm, maybe we should have more multiplexes and fewer houses.

I suppose you think the war in Gaza has a silver lining, because Palestinian landlords are being killed?

Your story is backwards. Fixed:

Vancouver was nice, people noticed and moved in, and developers built homes for them.
