@mnolangray @opinionatedobs7 @YIMBYLAND The problem is there is a free rider issue where you can live in a cheaply made ugly building in an otherwise beautiful neighborhood.

@opinionatedobs7 @YIMBYLAND Go build it! Outside of a few building code edgecases, which any midwit on here can repeat, there's nothing stopping anyone from building it, except perhaps the reality that the added costs aren't offset by widely held consumer preferences.

Houston is the maximum consumer sovereignty edge case: tons of units coming online, no design review. What results? A mixture of styles old and new. (Even the "old" is basically postmodern.) Why? Because not everyone prefers living in traddist simulacra.

Mistakes abound (consumers don't have mandate of heaven, 95% they don't have choices in RE markets) But something much worse is going on culturally. People can no longer react to their environment. Not even they no longer "want", they no longer "see". From another thread:

@debugstinks Bongino was made deputy director of the FBI as a result of his Rumble show.

It actually is a very good piece of perspective that fuentes has never surpassed Dan Bonginos peak — a man I have never heard mentioned offline and who I continue to know nothing basically nothing about.

People move away from cities with high immigrant populations, this is true even after adjusting for home values:
Smirkley@Smirkley
“They’re just fleeing expensive cities, not diversity, which is a strength!” 1. Artificial imported demand does what to house prices? 2. At equal home values, higher immigrant share STILL predicts faster native outflow, r −0.42

I owe an apology to Chuck Johnson.
I thought he was scamming people by falsely claiming to be a fed(he was even sued for this). But then it was revealed that he used to inform for the FBI on Dershowitz and his relationship with Epstein + foreign intelligence.

whatever happened to him?

The US has burned through roughly a third of its total pre-war stockpile of key precision munitions in Iran War.
Interceptors are the most exposed: up to 80% of THAAD (190–290 of 360), more than half of SM-3 (130–250 of 410), and up to 61% of Patriots (1,060–1,430 of 2,330) are gone.
Long-range strike weapons are also depleted at scale, with 1,000+ Tomahawks and 1,100+ JASSMs used, and nearly the entire small PrSM stockpile (40–70 of 90) fired.

There is a group of(often transgender) radical rationalists called the Zizians that are associated with four murders.
Surprised this group isn’t more well known.

This seems like a strange thing to include but it's worth noting that tragically, suicides in America peaked around when the boy scouts were founded. Unfortunately it's picking back up again so these lessons are necessary today.
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
The original manual for the Boy Scouts included a section on how to stop people from committing suicide. It came right after the section on bee stings.

@willstancilfan @kojimaicmatters This was literally the dynamic among a lot of slave masters. If you read the slave narratives a lot of the slaves liked one spouse but not the other:
America First Graphs@AF_Graphs
“I shure did love my white fokes” - Catherine Scales, former slave. The experience of American slavery was positive for the slave surprisingly often and depended heavily on the cruelty or kindness of the master. Reviewing 87 slave narratives from North Carolina, I found: 35 described their treatment, or their families’ treatment, as positive 23 as negative 13 as mixed Another did 16 not give enough information to make a judgment. From reading the positive descriptions, the Gone With the Wind narrative of a happy plantation with mutual love between slave and master does not at all seem far-fetched. Many slaves described this love explicitly, and many explicitly said that they preferred slavery to freedom. Some even went as far as supporting the KKK after the war. Others in the positive group said that, though they were treated well, they still wanted to be free. It should be pointed out that many of the slaves left when they were children, so nostalgia or the lighter workload for children may play a part in some of these slaves’ positive view of slavery. The location, North Carolina might play a role too. Unfortunately, this positive experience was not at all universal. Many slaves also described their masters as cruel, with capricious beatings and, in some cases, poor food and living conditions. These slaves were very likely to say that slavery was a bad thing and that they were glad it was gone. Others had mixed assessments. Several describe one of their masters as kind while their spouse was mean, and the kind master would protect the slaves from the cruel one. One slave was sold from a cruel master to a kind one. The Union army is described in many of these stories, usually negatively. They come through and rob the plantations, often meaning tough years for the newly freed slaves and master alike. Family separation is unfortunately very common, and it even happens for several of the slaves who describe their treatment positively. Whippings are also common, but not universal. They also vary greatly in frequency and intensity. They range from almost nothing to terrible beatings that leave lifelong scars. Many slaves were not angry about an occasional whipping, and some say that when they happened, they were deserved. Separating the categories took a lot of judgment calls, so please read for yourself and reach your own conclusions. I have attached a high-resolution image of the slaves, key quotes, and my categories to this post. Make sure to tap, hold and load in 4k to see the higher resolution image.

@kojimaicmatters Owning a slave would be too much responsibility. Imagine a housekeeper that instead of giving $100 you gotta keep housed and fed. I already get shit from my wife for making her discipline the kids. It'd be the same. "O you get to be the cool master and I have to be the bitch!"

Bro's against slavery in a country where slavery's illegal and slaves are impossible to purchase. Wow. What a moral guy. Let's put him in an environment where slavery is central to the economy and slaves are cheap to buy for ten years.

They won’t will literally expand their borders to say take all of Syria. But they will
1. literally expand their borders through “buffer zones” as they are currently doing.
2. Attempt to aggressively partition, weaken or subdue the remaining powers.. which they are also already doing. This includes actions like trying to regime change Iran through covert actions, take Mount Hermon in Syria(strategic point against Damascus and Lebanon) working to establish business relations with Saudi Arabia through powerful US Jews like Kushner. In the future, we can imagine them pressuring Turkey likely using US leverage.
I understand why they are doing this, but from the perspective of a middle eastern country, or really any country besides Israel, this is extremely destabilizing and dangerous. Would you like if “buffer zones” were being carved out of Israel?
English
@AF_Graphs @MarciaCuban @SSMEGA_CLIPS Having a strategic buffer zone to ward off potential invasions is drastically different than the picture of expansionism that he portrays. He makes it seem as if Israel is plotting to conquer vast swathes of land for some kind of imperialistic project.

This isn’t true. Only a portion of the lower Texan home costs are explained by lower labor costs(land cost and regulatory environment are more important) and only a portion of that is explained by higher number of immigrants.
Also percentage of construction workers who are foreign born in an area does not map cleanly to proximity to Mexico.
Please fact check the things you say. They are often completely wrong.
English
New houses in the north cost a huge amount because the labor to build them is very expensive.
If you want a cheapish new house, you need to get as close to the Mexican border as possible.
Big part of why everyone moves to Texas, immigration actually makes new homes cheaper.

No I don’t, I understand that they want to expand because they are small in land area and feel threatened. But feeling threatened is a typical reason to want to expand.
Iran feels threatened so they expand their influence by supplying Hezbollah with weapons.
That’s how geopolitics works.
English
This is very basic analysis that would appear obvious to most Israelis. But it’s notable how Nick Fuentes is genuinely one of the few antisemites who actually makes an effort to understand how Jews and Israelis think.
Leftists and Arabists can’t do this because they have no capacity for introspection and critical thinking. So instead they just repeat their own propaganda sound bites to each other over and over.
