Projects can still effectively be denied/delayed from discretionary environmental review. State is working on pre-empting or expediting that as well for these affordable housing pr…

The definition of inflation is nominal changes in prices. This can be caused by supply/demand shocks, which is where the term "transitory" comes from--inflation during a period of …

Yeah, I am sympathetic to people concerned about inflation right now, but the basic Econ 101 explanation you give is just too compelling to alarm me (and apparently the Fed and oth…

I'd be interested to see the land use code where this 10 duc with one allowable parking spot is going. This must be a HUUUGE townhouse to go there if its only permitted to fit one …

10 units per acre is 1 house per 5k sqft lot--this is plainly single family detached housing. No one in that zoning is having parking issues. When you start talking about 35duc the…

The solution isn't to build more parking, its to reduce the need for car trips. Improve transit and support commercial development in the neighborhood. The fact is that we're in a …

I think this makes sense, and I might have agreed before I married someone working in a public sector union and saw how awful working in the public sector is compared to private (f…

I wonder if you (and OP) are conflating "anti-homeownership propaganda" (perhaps some exists) with anti-single family housing zoning "propaganda"? I follow land use topics pretty c…

Its not a different issue entirely. Saying that is wrong and its harmful. Our "class system" is defined by the deliberately racist history from which it is derived. Communities of …

Alternative is to not subsidize inefficient suburban land use. That doesn't mean everyone lives in apartment buildings. It doesn't mean "ban the suburbs". It just means, if you wan…

I'm also doing this in chrome. I have about 5 different profiles, aliased to things like `chrome-work`, `chrome-personal`, `chrome-dev', etc. I would love to use FF, but iirc FF do…

Yes, there's a lot we need to be doing to put pressure on the CCP that we aren't currently doing, and it also doesn't need to be binary. There's a difference between Apple doing bu…

The issue isn't whether TikTok is currently doing it or no, its whether this is a national security risk in the future, which is absolutely is. I think he's an idiot and he's using…

Taking this as true, are you suggesting we should have, instead of our (expanding on what I think you're saying) "non-democratic capitalist ologopoly", have our important companies…

Here's a very short list of pro-democracy or pro-human rights dissidents and what kinds of punishment we know happened to them as a result: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ch…

I don't think the problem is that if/when it happens, it will be "undetectable". The issue is that if we have a polarized party-over-country political environment (which we do curr…

My typical setup is that I have a single desktop for each project I'm working in. Web projects split into 4 panes. Top left, browsers (different chrome profiles running in differen…

The most common case of "Sharing data with 3rd parties" is when the first party uses their targeting platform (usually DFP/GAM) to serve a campaign to an advertiser looking for a s…

Who picks what we vote on in this scenario?

When you upload to GEDMatch.com, you are agreeing to make your DNA available to be compared against others for identification or research purposes. That's the entire purpose of the…

This isn't a unique characteristic of writers, or creatives for that matter. This is a well studied phenomena, especially in Urban Economics, called Agglomeration. https://en.wikip…

Programmatic advertising is 100% a real-time, per request bidding process. There is no queue of ads. Virtually all banner advertising on the web now is done this way.

Regardless of whether the economy is or is not where it should be right now, the phenomena that the market is at its all-time high is extremely common. Its weekly peak is more like…
