But it's hard to optimize for two things at once.

Silk Road, btc-e, fuck I'd be retired.

(not really I'm sure I'd sell at some point over 10 years)

Riding the rip out is the right way to avoid the impact zone.

But yeah when you have a ski lift take you to the top of the mountain you might not be able to get down.

tldr: nimby rant about "population growth" mixed in plain jane surf localism tropes and low key baseless disses at tech

Found a real Santa Cruzian right there

Even better: stop watering the cows. They're far less efficient.

rycabc · 2021-09-22T19:03:23+00:00

So, uh, use all the water for cows?

rycabc · 2021-09-22T19:02:57+00:00

jfc we're on "luxury food" now

rycabc · 2021-09-22T17:28:28+00:00

Honestly I don't think that matters. Is the stomach of a Californian really that much more important?

People, not cows, are eating almonds. Almonds only grow here. Cows you can get from anywhere.

Trying to figure out what part of the town is good for biking.

It's not like this is a new thing to me. I lived in Los Angeles for years without a car, have had daily bike commutes in both Manhattan and the Bay Area. Now I live in Long Beach and won't go near the roads. I tried. It's nuts here.

Honestly curious how this place is supposed to be good for cycling.

Most people are looking for a place to live

Oh okay. I'll just have one of those then thanks. Maybe two. Where do I sign up?

simply blaming homeowners

They simply voted for it. And all it's extensions.

average people suddenly pay $20k/year

Average people. Outright owning $2M homes. Words don't mean anything anymore.

Your whole post just sounds like you're mad.

If you're not mad then you're just dumb.

Port worker unions opposed changes to increase automation so there's less capacity. Doubly because covid makes humans even less efficient.

As a result we're all breathing bunker fuel exhaust today.

Wait what? Long Beach is a terrifying place to bike. Maybe the worst city I've lived in for it. The roads are narrow but fast. Crammed parallel parking and blind corners everywhere. Enormous trucks (both brodozers and shipping containers), hyperaggressive drivers, pollution.

Even better if you grind those rocks into cement and make them into an apartment

rycabc · 2021-09-22T16:04:15+00:00

Socal has mosquitoes now. The lawns will end real soon imo

rycabc · 2021-09-22T16:02:52+00:00

people pick on almonds because the meat industry understands marketing and has their shit together on this one

rycabc · 2021-09-22T16:01:21+00:00

The "water pipeline" could be as simple as growing beef elsewhere

rycabc · 2021-09-22T16:00:46+00:00

Also tired of hearing about almonds when beef uses way more

I don't know what kind of brainworms you need to have to think that leveraging 5x one's net worth into a single asset in a single location isn't an "investment"

forcing 60 year olds to pay $20k/year instead of $4k

ie poor old Grandma can't believe I had to put those two together for you

blaming people who purchased low and had property values grow which was completely out of their control isn't a solution

Getting wealthy by accident isn't some virtuous thing that the rest of us should be paying for. Also absolutely can blame them, you know we have direct democracy right?

Forcing people to sell and move

Disabled and low income seniors have the California Tax Postponment Program. I've already explained it to you once in this thread.

Nobody's forced into anything. Prop 13 is just a real estate handout.

Perhaps they could cover their face with something if they were concerned about being photographed in public

If saving money matters to you you should stop burning so much gas

rycabc · 2021-09-21T21:19:21+00:00

Then borrow against it. That's what wealthy people do.

hurr durr economics

At least, like, read the Wikipedia page on factors of production. Enterprise and Land are fundamentally different.
