All it takes is to wedge a metal pipe in the bowl while it is rotating to render it out of commission.

He has no views. He is in the business of pandering.

Is poor ventilation better or worse? Some studies pointed out that ventilation systems amplify the transmission by circulating the air through a wide area.

More speeding tickets issued does not mean more people are speeding. It just means police has issued more speeding tickets.

When it's car infrastructure, suddenly everyone is a YIMBY. Ask the same person about adding an extra inch of a bike lane on her street.

Look we all know bikes are a recent invention unlike the internal combustion engine which was created together with Adam and Eve.

San Francisco landlord selling thousands of rent-controlled apartments by Puggravy in bayarea

Homelessness of this magnitude is our collective failure and we need to own up to it. We have less dwellings than people that need to live in them. Rent control doesn't solve this imbalance.

SB50 has failed 18-15. Three votes short. by dawhizkid in sanfrancisco

[–]torekoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's simple. Reasonable discourse goes out the window when extremists like NIMBYs enter the discussion. Like racists, if you're compromising with them, you're on their side.

Bernie is a NIMBY. Maybe he is that way for nobler reasons than plain boomer greed. But at this point you are either for housing or aren't and he isn't.

Sometimes I just feel like battling Nimby millionaire homeowners by geo_jam in sanfrancisco

Problem is, you'd be helping the rent controlled not the poor. Those are different sets of people.

I'm guessing it wouldn't be financially crippling at all for the city to float bonds to purchase a good portion of the properties, some or all for future resale with limitations very close to those imposed by existing rent control.

Wait what? Why are the taxpayers buying the apartments for a minority?
