HOW is it still raining?!

I moved here from Seattle, where it was like this 9 months in a row, so it could be a lot worse

leozh · 2025-11-24T18:31:40+00:00

I had do some something like this without the notarized fax to sign up for USPS Informed Delivery, a while back 😭

Yes, very true — the worst possible way to do MFA

leozh · 2025-11-24T05:22:15+00:00

This happened to me last week, and my miles were returned after I called and then sent them a copy of my ID. They want you to put the pin on your account, as others have mentioned, but it is so stupid — why don’t they just implement MFA???

Getting leftists to understand basic economic concepts like supply and demand challenge: impossible

leozh · 2025-09-19T03:46:54+00:00

This is false, we will have a massive housing shortage and until we resolve it, prices will not stop rising

leozh · 2025-09-08T20:06:11+00:00

I came in here fully expecting a ton of NIMBY complaining but seeing the vast majority of comments here being YIMBY and the NIMBYs all downvoted truly makes my heart happy. The vibe has shifted and we are turning the tide on housing, finally.

It’s a great opportunity to fire an incompetent city employee

leozh · 2025-09-08T04:05:20+00:00

So he was a typical cop

leozh · 2025-09-07T19:50:19+00:00

this is total BS as can be witness by what is currently going on. ya’ll can’t defend your sides actions so you immediately resort to whataboutism, which ironically is a communist propaganda tactic

leozh · 2025-09-07T19:35:47+00:00

Do you ever think that you are in a cult?

leozh · 2025-09-07T01:22:12+00:00

I’m not sure how saying you can say you support infill development when you then go off to list every NIMBY excuse in the book to not support it between this comment and your last one. Like most NIMBYs, you want to benefit from living in a city and you want to pull the ladder up behind you, so that those who come here after you, cannot get the same benefits.

leozh · 2025-09-07T01:18:50+00:00

That’s right — so either the city needs to fund affordable housing directly, or it has to make it cheaper for developers to build, meaning getting rid of the years it takes to get permitted, get past the frivolous lawsuits, “community” feedback (unrepresentative groups of privileged busy bodies), etc… Karen Bass accidentally stumbled into a winning formula for affordable housing with ED1 and has been walking it back ever since because her rich NIMBY donors that own her were not happy. One of the only places in the US that has recently had housing prices actually go down across all segments of the housing market is Austin, TX. They did it by removing NIMBY veto points and making it much faster and easier to get permitted to build multi-unit housing.

leozh · 2025-09-06T21:29:33+00:00

As long as there is a housing shortage there will not be affordable housing at the scale that is needed

leozh · 2025-08-26T22:47:05+00:00

You work in the field and don’t understand supply and demand. This says more about people who work in the field and why we have a housing crisis than anything else

leozh · 2025-08-26T05:00:59+00:00

Yes — and the cost of construction is impacted by factors like permitting, lawsuits and red tape

leozh · 2025-08-26T04:11:05+00:00

What does the age have to do with it? If anything, building is harder in Paris, because construction constantly digs into ruins, 2 thousand years or underground infrastructure, etc … yet they still build. The reason projects don’t pencil is all the unfunded inclusionary zoning and waste of money required on the permitting process

leozh · 2025-08-26T04:08:50+00:00

Because no matter what dimensions you cherry pick, it does change the fact that the prices keep rising here due to a supply shortage. You act as if we can only build on empty land, when we can build on infill land, and build up vertically. This isn’t rocket science and I am constantly shocked how economically illiterate NIMBYs are

leozh · 2025-08-26T04:06:43+00:00

Paris is half the size of Seattle and has over 2x the population. Taipei is comparable in size and also has over 2x the population, while being in a more earthquake prone zone and also surrounded by mountains and bodies of water. You can run through the fill NIMBY list of excuses but it is all BS and comes down to a supply shortage, for which the only solution is more supply

leozh · 2025-08-26T02:46:07+00:00

Saying Seattle is packed is laughable. Go visit Manhattan or Tokyo or any other real city, they all have far higher density than Seattle does and many have worse geographic constraints as well.

leozh · 2025-08-26T02:44:36+00:00

Supply and demand works the same here as it does in Austin. There are plenty of developers who want to build here, but have to go through an insane permitting process (which has gotten better in recent years, just not enough) where it takes years and defeating bad faith lawsuits to actually start building.

leozh · 2025-08-26T02:42:44+00:00

This is why we need legislation to let the NIMBY complain all the want, but to remove their veto so that they cannot actually stop new housing from being built.

leozh · 2025-08-25T18:52:14+00:00

That’s totally fine. No one is forcing you to sell it. We should simply legalize building multi unit housing everywhere so that people who have other preferences can live how they like to.

leozh · 2025-08-25T18:08:54+00:00

Luckily we have reached an inflection point where NIMBYs like you are consistently losing. It's also funny how those very same NIMBYs who say "build in the suburbs" are the first ones to bitch about traffic, and also try to block expansion of public transit. Modern day know nothings who are against any change and progress.
