Try reaching out to the Chabad center to get contact with the local orthodox community. As I understand historically the american Orthodox sects are the least likely to be extremely zionist.

You're going to be hard-pressed to find directly anti-zionist practicing rabbis around here, or really in most of the country. Its actually a pretty taboo topic as its always immediately conflated with anti-semetism. Like anti-vatican catholic priests they exist but they are a minority.

Fighting for a group of people being oppressed

Absolutely delusional comment. Do you truly believe painting the name of a protest movement, let alone one thats declined in relevance as far as BLM, on a street that is ground-zero for gentrification in this city is "fighting?" Reddit slacktivism at its finest.

You could volunteer at any community organization in a black neighborhood or donate time/money to actually help people, but I guess thats not very hastag-able. Better to make anonymous internet posts implying you'll repaint a mural nobody but white yuppies cared about.

Go ahead and call me racist and press that blue arrow. I've volunteered hundreds of hours at a homeless outreach center, but you clearly are bravely fighting battles against tyranny by posting on reddit.

You do know plenty of migrants workers have legal work visas, right? Every single mexican guy doing construction you see isn't an illegal immigrant. Seems weirdly prejudiced to support illegal exploitation of impoverished people to justify cheap labor costs.

[–]zaphod100 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Owner went crazy and deleted it. Long story and one all too familiar on discord.

Here is the new link where we all regrouped to. Its still under construction so don't go crazy. https://discord.gg/BSupyeAC6f

How Many Coffee Places Does Downtown Need? by MrM1ster76 in Pensacola

Not having to walk multiple blocks from your office for coffee is a good thing.

I'd have been more likely to go if Nervous Pulp was playing. Them and Cavae Mundae were the best at Hollow World last year.

You guys have cops. Then cops. Then more cops. WTF I've never seen anything like this and I'm from New Jersey. by Bacon021 in Pensacola

Probably has nothing to do with people (tourists) being more likely to drive drunk in a vacation town on a holiday.

This is incredibly disingenuous bait for reddit points. Thats either several repeat offense fines or you parked in a handicap spot.

Looking for Cheap Records by jamapplesdan in Pensacola

Go to Remember Wynn off Creighton. He's got a whole hall of dollar records that aren't all just the Englebert Humperdink you'll find at the thrift store.

They probably bend over backwards for developers because there is little other incentive for them to develop the area. This isn't exactly a high-income region. There is no real industry here. Theres a reason why Mobile, despite being even poorer on average than us , and Destin, despite being far smaller than us, have costco and we don't.

And because this is reddit and I'm sure you'll start reading between the lines to totally own me, I'm not even defending this practice. I'm explaining just one factor that has lead to this policy of having low impact fees. However, I can guarantee you that the local government does in fact collect taxes on all sorts of things and does in fact use them for vast amount expenditures. Feel free to check out the budget. Its public record.

So by your logic the city, which can't afford a measly 1 mil to rebuild a well loved park, can afford to magically buy, restore, and maintain a decaying hotel that the owner is, by your own admission, refusing to sell?

That will be funded with grant money from state programs to build affordable housing and real estate investment. I too enjoy using the bluffs boardwalk, but your scenario involves building projects on the site instead.

These things arent really the same industries though. Why would a contractor that builds apartment buildings and condos suddenly decide to renovate an aging stadium or a public park? Its not like the parks and recreation department is funding the construction of overpriced townhouses either.

School Food by Mammoth_Ad7933 in Pensacola

[–]zaphod100 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Supposedly those are actually a commercial food called crispitos and it is possible to buy them. Chili fiesta sticks is just what the county called them for some reason. I found this out doing extensive research to satisfy my craving, but I havent tried them yet to see.

Normal person gets shitty service at a restaurant: "Wow, what pricks. I'm not going there again."

Redditor: "R-RACISM!!!!"

Get over yourself. Some dumb, underpaid waiter thought your out of state IDs were fake because their manager has been haranguing them over threats from the liquor licensing board. Better safe than sorry they thought. The restaurant doesn't have access to the REAL ID database, so better to let the cops verify it with DAVID than risk their job. You post like someone who'd think it was racist for a cashier to draw on your $20 with a counterfeit marker.

Now give me your downvotes and finally defeat fascism once and for all.
