“The existence of black ghettos is a visible reminder of our inequalities and history, a reminder whose implications are so uncomfortable that we find ways to avoid them...

@Dr_America1st @YIMBYLAND I suggest you shut up there pal. No one gives a fuck about your edge lord Bs. Neighborhood doesn’t mean taking over a house and making it a business. Also living in cities is gay.

@walkadm I think biggest cities tend to have the highest real estate values and that leads to NIMBYism to preserve those values, regardless of political affiliation. A lot probably use progressive language to justify those decisions

Tamir Pardo, former Mossad head, on a tour documenting Jewish settler terror in the West Bank: “My mother is a Holocaust survivor, and what I saw here reminded me of the events of the previous century against the Jews.“​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

"Prisoner" vs "Hostage". That's helpful to highlight how semantics subtly influences impressions of right and wrong.

One of the most terrifying images in history: a transformation from life to death. Gaza in 2023 and 2026!

Since you asked where the money is going Assemblymember I’ll tell you. 30% of it is going back to the city to pay for every pet project your colleagues can dream up and still demand more money for. 20%-30% of it is going to insurance companies to pay liability premiums because you and your colleagues refuse to address New York’s absurd liability laws. Also because the laws you support have made the buildings worthless. Not rhetorically. Actually worthless. Insurance companies are pulling out of the market all together leaving the remaining carriers to demand high premiums. 5% is going to the city for water which was increased by 9% last year alone. 10% is going to other utilities like fuel which skyrocketed this year because of the coldest winter in a decade and the war in Iran. 8% to labor costs which have also increased substantially in the last five years. 8-10% is just to keep the building running properly. Not improve it. Run it. Most buildings don’t have violations and open holes in ceilings. That’s where that money goes every time someone overflows a toilet, breaks a door, a window, a mirror, strips a faucet, etc. 20% not even factored by the RGB is any mortgage on the building. And you may say well borrowing is a choice. Not if the rents don’t cover repair costs. Taking a loan is literally the only way to pay for repairs even when there is an offsetting subsidy because those programs require the work be done in advance. By the RGBs own math without accounting for interest and lending which is a quarter of all costs a property only has 10 cents of every dollar left over after collecting rent. In reality because of interest and lending it’s closer to 3-5 cents. 5 cents profit. If the government was forced to operate on those margins our republic would have ended decades ago.

We’re not letting landlords price us out. We’re going to stand up and fight.

I'm not for equal outcomes. I want unequal outcomes. If you work ten times harder than somebody, you deserve the economic reward. But I do want the kids from the neighborhood I grew up in to be fed, educated, to have healthcare, and to get to the starting block. That's not socialism, that's a rich enough country deciding that some basic level of fairness is worth paying for. Equal opportunity. Not equal outcomes. There's a big difference and we've somehow lost the thread on that distinction entirely. Thank you @wethefifth for having me on the podcast.

Haitham in Gaza 🇵🇸🍉
Haitham in Gaza 🇵🇸🍉@HaithamElmasri1·
One of the most terrifying attacks carried out by Israel, where it completely destroyed the Mashteha Tower within a matter of seconds, as it is considered one of the largest and most beautiful towers in Gaza, and houses thousands of families living in it, despite the thousands of tents that were located on every side of this tower, aircraft launched no less than 6 deadly missiles that resulted in thousands of lethal shrapnel fragments, which led to the destruction of thousands of tents that were the only shelter for the families. This is not just a war, this is genocide.

Only 2 states’ car fees actually cover their road costs. The other 48 require heavy subsidies. Last year, the feds spent $30B more on highways than the gas tax generated. Drivers aren’t “paying for transit riders” when they can’t even pay for roads. Talk about that.

In Washington D.C., taxpayers who don’t take the train or bus are increasingly subsidizing those who do, and it’s not sustainable. @DominicJPino explains why. 🔗 Read more: wapo.st/42nR9Ok

@PostOpinions @DominicJPino quick question: do you think drivers benefit from having hundreds of thousands of people taking metro instead of getting on the road and creating awful gridlock?
