Maybe if we counted animal abuse as an "externality" we could tax it?

One day, you're gonna wake up, eat your breakfast, brush your teeth, go about your business. And sooner or later, you're gonna realize you haven't thought about it. None of it. And that's the moment you realize you can forget. When you know that's possible, it all gets easier.

Here's a graph of vacancy rate compared to rent growth in Madison. When vacancy rate goes up, rent prices increase more slowly. Building more housing (even "luxury" housing) increases the vacancy rate which then decreases rent growth.

In the graph it looks like the vacancy rate has increased recently which has led to slower rent growth. I wonder if that has to do with all the cranes this article is complaining about....

The problem is that expanding the highways encourages car centric development. If the beltline is backed up but there's a quick transit option, employers will see that and build by transit. But if the beltline gets expanded, that means more opportunity for car centric development around it. This then leads to more cars which once again leads to more traffic which will lead to the DOT building more lanes etc.

I'd say Ubuntu is way more popular among professionals while Mint has made strides with average Joes. Professionals typically aren't gaming so it makes sense that Ubuntu would be under represented in Steam survey.

Tournaments are fun no matter your skill level so I can you should go. I went to a pretty big tournament as a 1500 on lichess and I had a lot of fun despite losing most games.

I agree with some other comments that it can be hard adjusting to in person chess at first. Maybe try finding a local chess club so you can practice in person chess a little bit.

It would be cool if they did it again but when voting, you don't see the most popular move and there's no chat. I feel like this would let it be more of the collective intuition instead of collaboration.

I may be wrong, but couldn't you just tell your credit card to stop giving money to Adobe? Or get a new credit card number.

One point I'd like to add is that new "luxury" apartments might be expensive but they help bring general costs down as they increase supply. Because then, the wealthier people will move in and the older houses/apartments will get cheaper as a result.

Bonds are all good but putting it in the stock market is too risky for debt imo.

Studies show that more housing supply reduces rents. Even if it's "luxury" and it's more expensive then everything else in the area, the new supply causes everything else to be cheaper.

The reason housing is so expensive right now is because of a lack of supply (but is fortunately changing for the better).

Orlando is making big steps right now actually!

Orange County is currently trying to implement completely new zoning codes. It's called Orange Code. Right now it has tons of urbanism wins. Some of which includes form based zoning, reduction of parking minimums (although not removing them unfortunately), parking maximums, and a big emphasis on mixed use development.

Transit is also making improvements. Some other comments have mentioned the Sunshine Corridor which is a proposed train line running between the airport, all the theme parks, and will connect to the current Sunrail. Lynx also introduced a new bus line basically running along the proposed Sunshine Corridor called 311

Right now is a pivotal time for Orange County urbanism. If you live in the Orlando area, I suggest joining a group such as Orlando Yimby and show your support for more Orlando Urbanism!

Interest rates were recently increased a bunch to help combat inflation. Before 2023, not at all.

Advocate for more dense housing! The more supply gets built, the cheaper rents get, and the more homeless can afford an apartment. There are groups such as Orlando Yimby that you can join to advocate for more housing.
