@SwannMarcus89 It’s the pinnacle of the no car lifestyle and one of the few “real” cities in the US - if you can afford it it’s awesome

I don’t get why anyone would willingly live in NYC. Its median household income is approximately the same as Nashville. How do people survive with that cost of living and incomes comparable to mid-size cities in the South? Harlem’s median income is the same as Mississippi’s

@fentanylbrownie Big parking lots should be fewer, taller parking garages - the other space could be better used for restaurants, hotels, etc Stadium parking lots are empty most of the time and look ugly A stadium next to the nations largest city and financial capital should feel that way

Enough! Make it stop! Yes, a stadium adjacent to the nation’s largest city and financial capital that can seat 82,500 people has a big parking lot! What’s your fucking POINT? What’s so “bleak”??? It’s a parking lot! Why do you care????

@AMLOVER218 @CohenSite Building more units makes housing more affordable for everyone. Every person moving into this building is a person not moving into a more affordable unit Affordable housing mandates are insanely regressive in outcome and are a large reasonwhy the LA housing crisis came to be

@CohenSite This country hates poor people

Santa Monica's first residential high-rise in over 50 years appears to be moving forward. This is thanks to Santa Monica's "offsite" pilot program allowing the developer to pay a $14 million fee instead of including 64 affordable units on site.

@DeepDishEnjoyer But let’s say there is actually a vulnerability that is remotely accessible by foreign states (even if not accessed yet) - what is the correct step? All paper midterms?

@DeepDishEnjoyer My understanding of the rumors is he’s going to claim some/all of current machines are compromised and were accessed in 2020 The worst case follow up would be claiming we can’t have midterms until new machines are made and audited - unsure if that is within ability (hope not)

if it's specifically anti-china that still has ramifications and isn't necessarily theater for domestic entertainment - like is he going to announce tariffs? cutting off more access to chips?

@quininequo @agarthapill @Liv_Agar Curtailing appeals if combined w/ a 3 strike rule I suspect would be acceptable to most In other words, someone couldn’t be up for death unless they prev were convicted in 2 separate violent felony cases If someone is on their third conviction, the risk of being wrong is near 0

@agarthapill @Liv_Agar In order for execution to be cheaper than life imprisonment, you must significantly curtail the legal appeals process which means you must accept a higher rate of wrongful execution. What rate of innocent to guilty people executed by the state are you willing to accept?

The death penalty actually shouldn't exist so it doesn't matter what her client may or may not have done

@bethbourdon People have gone too far, but valid points were made that your tweet was in bad taste Your client deserved fair representation but unless you think he’s innocent I’d reconsider how happy you are to have “saved a life.” Be proud of yourself but don’t forget what your client did

scrolling through twitter i am seeing QTs of my tweet and it appears i have triggered a lot of men who cannot handle a woman as a defense attorney. they cannot handle that i'm proud to have saved a life. they can't handle that i morally don't believe in the death penalty (i also believe it violates the 8th amendment). they don't believe in the 6th amendment's right to counsel. they're actively wishing me dead for doing my job and calling me a whore because of my job (weirdest part). if you believe in the death penalty, that's fine. many do. but the irony of wishing me dead to say that murder is wrong and thus the death penalty is good is very puzzling.

@cremieuxrecueil Just hit them with a “Read Much?”

We need a term for when you write an article and all the comments are about something the article already explicitly addresses. 'You obviously didn't read the article' doesn't sound catchy enough.

@yin_yang_yo_ I will never understand how so many universities went along dropping standardized tests. They took a nearly 100 year old system and decided they could throw it away without any replacement?

SAT/ACT prep should be made easier to access via cost if equity was a concern. Ending the SAT/ACT was a disaster Yes, standardized testing doesnt show EVERYTHING, but ending it sure as hell didnt show shit

Pro Waymo, pro data center, pro nuclear, pro solar, pro train, anti zoning, pro housing has to be one of the most correct and unelectable combinations in America

All of Los Angeles County should be upzoned, the MINIMUM building height should be 3 stories everywhere

Stealing (even if accidental) is not “just not doing the absolute best possible thing.” That describes something that is caused by inaction, such as not picking up other people’s litter. Theft is an active harm, you cannot lump it into that same category

ABOLISH ZONING BAN PARKING MINIMUMS SLASH HEIGHT LIMITS LEGALIZE HOUSING!!!!!

It’s taken over 3 weeks at this point to just get switched from TMobile to ATT and I’m already regretting it The store employees can’t even help much because they’ve been handicapped by this system and get stuck dealing with the offshore support who don’t understand them

Why is going to an @ATT store just a proxy for having to deal with Indian call centers The employees are clearly frustrated, the customers are frustrated, and after time loss ATT isn’t even saving money I’d prefer longer hold times if it meant being able to talk to an American

Wait what

@WarMonitor3 Read this as “Prison 2” and thought France had come up with a sequel

Frances right wing leader of the National Rally party Marine Le Pen has been sentenced to three years in Prison 2 of which will be suspended the other 1 will be under house arrest. What...

Americans now that their country has been eliminated from the World Cup:

@LindsayJS @UrbanCourtyard Could use a few more floors

"LA has no big parcels left to build housing” Anyway, here’s a boat-parking lot that could be 500 apartments a la @UrbanCourtyard

The USA is 250 years old. England is way over 1.000 years old. No offence to Americans.
