So you voted for Nadar? |
+1 We have no choice in this election and I pray for a gigantic wave so we can get back to worrying about the small issues instead of democracy itself. |
Still not voting for the sexual assaulter who is now selling $59.99 Bibles. |
The Feds can encourage this, but ultimately isn't it still your local reps. that control your zoning? And, we know that housing is unaffordable for our children's generation. We have to do something. What is the answer, more urban sprawl? There has to be a balance.
I don't think Biden is going to bulldoze my neighborhood of 1950s sh*t shacks to put in condos, so no not worried. |
Trump is hocking Bibles.
He compared himself to Jesus He wants to be King. And the cult of bible thumpers thinks electing him will make their lives better, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA They can not even articulate what he did right the last time he was in office. |
Kennedy-Shanahan |
Yes, they can. Repeat after me: Supreme Court. |
+1 And there is tons of arable land here. So much that we export massive amounts of the crops we grow. We are at no risk of using up all our arable land for houses. |
This is actually more horrific than the problem, though. Right now, I walk past the homeless on my way to my office in the urban core of a city. You're suggesting that we should ship them off to neighborhoods. No. People aren't homeless due to housing shortage. They are homeless due to substance abuse and mental illness. This isn't a solution for that problem. It makes the problem more potent. |
Magadonia! I love it. I want maps made of it. Put it on t-shirts and sell with Ultra Maga merchandise. |
Hahahahaha A roided up buffoon and the billionaire's wife, lol. He has no chance of winning the electoral college and thus becomes a vote for Trump. The margins are too slim in the swing states and America is at stake. I've only voted for a major party candidate once - in 2016 - and I'll be damn proud to vote for Biden again. I'll rethink the Republicans again in '26, depending on how this election shakes out, but in 2024 it's Biden all the way. |
Marilyn Lands just unseated an R in the Alabama state legislature today. She was running on the IVF/abortion issue. She is a sign of what is to come in suburban voting America. This thread is a side issue compared to abortion rights. |
People are becoming aware as more and more Democratic led communities embrace these ideas. Yes, there will be a suburban backlash in November. But the republicans need to make this a part of their campaign strategy. |
Maybe, but not if the funding was already allocated without those strings attached. |
This is the inevitable consequence of Democratic, and some Republican, policies over the last few decades. What did you think would happen when you add 100 million people to a country? Where did you think they were going to go? Upzoning closer in suburban neighborhoods is one of the least-bad places to make room for them.
Also keep in mind, if the country keeps growing, that those future new people will also need somewhere to live. You're worried about today's densification, but you might just be able to stop tomorrow's. |
