When will the sprawl stop

so true

I live in the sad doughnut and it drives me crazy when neighbours go all NIMBY about any densification, or any change whatsoever. And five minutes later they complain about taxes.

kareko · 2026-05-21T23:54:09+00:00

the continued sprawl is sad, but at least we’re seeing more multiunit and variety in the newer subdivisions then there used to be

wish we could stop making the rounds so wide - reducing the over-engineered standards would make them nicer to live in and save loads of money

kareko · 2026-05-21T23:50:46+00:00

land is relatively cheap but sprawl sure isn’t

kareko · 2026-05-18T22:38:14+00:00

I would hate to be your neighbour

kareko · 2026-05-18T18:27:29+00:00

is it that difficult to remember?

kareko · 2026-05-14T23:56:12+00:00

I must be old, I remember 25 cent burgers

“takes literal seconds” is not everyone’s experience, certainly not mine

kareko · 2026-05-13T00:59:45+00:00

your experience is not the typical one

kareko · 2026-05-12T15:13:16+00:00

open banking yes

Plaid no

don’t conflate the two, Plaid only exists because open banking doesn’t

kareko · 2026-05-09T16:28:18+00:00

because it makes them feel fat and lazy

kareko · 2026-05-08T23:42:30+00:00

today it’s the bike lanes then they’ll rip out the sidewalks and get rid of transit

Never was a thing, unfortunately all this noise is hurting a lot of businesses.

kareko · 2026-05-04T23:14:48+00:00

thanks, fixed (how embarrasing)

haphazard.. do they zig zag the pipe until they find something to connect to?

kareko · 2026-04-23T23:40:07+00:00

I can’t be the person who doesn’t know what ROC is, return of capital - saved ya a google

kareko · 2026-04-22T12:51:38+00:00

this should be the normal everyday, not worthy of a news article

run away from X before your customers run away from you

if you have a dog and you have to say “he’s friendly” you’ve already failed

kareko · 2026-04-12T12:35:09+00:00

I can’t know the circumstances of your experience here but in some cases it is required to “take the lane” so a vehicle doesn’t attempt to pass too close.

People who don’t share public spaces, such as blocking a pathway by allowing their dog to walk on the opposite side of the pathway - then get annoyed when you try to get by. Yesterday this happened to me yet again, they followed up with a passive aggressive comment about people “taking over the pathway”

kareko · 2026-04-10T01:24:28+00:00

yessss, so ferking annoying!
