This is a horrible idea. Why does the government need to get involved in supporting one business over another?

Businesses that attract more customers and can afford higher rents *should* displace businesses that can't.

Signal's full quote is "With a very tiny number of exceptions, gay marriage did not, in fact, impose anything other than hurt feelings and offense on its opponents." with the word exceptions linked to to oyez.org case for Masterpiece Cakeshop.

In a way I'm impressed it's got so many tickets. I feel like I see plenty of cars that never get ticketed for no front plate. Maybe the cops figures the Maybach owner deserves it?

When large-scale property owners move in and convert suburban homes to rentals, rents in the area fall, along with levels of class & racial segregation. Here's a link to a summary of a paper on the topic, along with a link to the paper: x.com/paulnovosad/...

When you say "ban corporate ownership of single family residences" what that actually means is "ban renters from living in certain neighborhoods. That's very bad. Especially when you consider that renters tend to make less money than owners.

Blackstone, and other institutional investors, own an inconsequential number of homes.

It's fine to have rental housing. In a ton of neighborhoods there is too much owner occupied housing and essentially no rental housing. This is mostly a bad thing.

The law the legislature passed specifically requires a conductor that spends their time opening and closing the doors. They won't be allowed to walk the aisles if Hochul doesn't veto the bill.

Also on the apology list are all the people who refused to rank Garcia even 5th because they didn't view her as lefty enough.

I emailed them and told them they'd entered the wrong email address in their system and never heard back since.

Hopefully they got their money at some point and didn't just give a car away in return for a bounced check!

Sure, social housing is great! But it's also important to remember that Vienna allows tons and tons of private development as well. Much more than is legal is most American cities.

The taxes from that private growth help fund the social housing.

When financial institutions invest in real estate they might shift a few people from being owners to being renters. This has some pros and cons. It is 100% for sure not worse than shortages which do in fact price people out of the market.

This whole conversation is especially amusing in the context of State Farm which is a mutual insurance company which means that the policy holders are the shareholders.

#3 is not a real option. If an individual insurance company tries to do that then they will lose all of their low risk customers to insurance companies that don't do this.

Calling a mom who couldn't use an elevator because a troubled person was camping inside of it a right wing troll is a shitty thing to do. We're about to spend a bunch of CP money building elevators.

What's the point if our lack of ability to deal with the homeless will make them unusable?
