@StevenMeyerUX @benjaminfievet It’s a tax on the only thing people can’t make more of. And if a plot of land is “sleeping” in the middle of the city, its owner should be taxed the hell out of there.

@benjaminfievet It’s a “sleep tax”. You are literally taxed to sleep in your own home that you own. That sounds right to you? Whether applied to property or land, you think it’s right to get taxed to sleep after paying taxes all day long on everything else?
English
This is a great way to show why a Land Value Tax is better than a property tax
Trevor Acorn 🔰🌹🇺🇸🌎@trevoracorn
If we raised the property tax bill on the blue lot to match the others on a $/SF basis, the overall tax bill for the houses/businesses would go down. People who want to see lower property taxes should be all over this!

@nikicaga @saraaa7447 Nah, fuck these highways instead of the streets, and swaths of empty grasslands and parkings between buildings. There are good, beautiful, useful things, but the “plan” is shite.
English
@saraaa7447 Yeah I don't like brutalism as a style much (especially the cheap mass produced buildings Yugoslavia did) but the actual urban planning of New Belgrade was great

You cannot possibly be talking, this is what the parts of Croatia most working-class people live in look too

@DuncanStott Self driving cars are awesome because they are a stepping stone to self driving buses.
English
The biggest operating cost of a bus network is its drivers' wages. Self-driving buses would be transformative to the economics of expanding bus service reach and frequency. I'm far more excited about this than self-driving cars.
Joakim 🌹🇳🇴🇪🇺@joakial_
For the first time in Norwegian history, a bus will carry passengers in regular traffic without any human behind the wheel. The first pilot without a safety driver was tested Friday, and if all goes as planned, anyone can ride driverless buses starting in May.

@lfg_uk Hospital is the tallest building in neighborhood? Horrible, put some residential highrises nearby.
English
A group of NIMBYs have courageously grouped together to try and block the development of...
...a cancer hospital.
The UK's cancer survival rates are up to 25 years behind other European countries.
Is this acceptable?

@elliottlock @JeremyClarkson But they have bigger wheels, won’t it compensate?
English
@JeremyClarkson You know there's these things called vans and lorries right? Also, the roads were shit before EVs turned up.

I wonder perhaps if maybe they could also look into the enormous weight of electric cars.

@YIMBYLAND Fuck affordable housing, just let people build whatever.
English
Perfect example of how Inclusionary Zoning can kill ALL new affordable housing when pushed too far.
Basil🧡@LinkofSunshine
After 2021, Portland raised the IZ requirement from 10% to 25%, requires developers to set aside 25% of new residential units for affordable housing As a result, affordable housing fell almost 99%

@Reza272238 @TrueSlazac Commie blocks are surprisingly low density because of lots of empty areas. Regular blocks are better.

@TrueSlazac Nah, needs to build commie blocks, the most efficient housing solutions in existence.
Just make them pretty and everyone will be happy

@LittleCoco83812 @stanleygraps Rehab Ahmet is a different person in a different weight class. And with normal range of motion.

This video is from the Paralympics, not the Olympics. It shows a valid bench press by Egyptian para athlete Rehab Ahmed. Per rules, the bar must touch the chest and arms lock out; short range of motion can result from physique in this sport for athletes with disabilities. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rehab_Ahm… paralympic.org/powerlifting/r… youtube.com/watch?v=_LhfV6…

@TrueSlazac @Jman0241 For first several years I’ve heard the term “affordable housing” my instinctive reaction was “are you stupid”.
English
@Jman0241 unaffordable housing also lowers the cost of affordable housing
English
Y r u and the bunch of fuck ass idiots arguing for ‘building more housing’ when the majority of that housing is going to be luxury or not affordable housing which ppl need

An old communist woman handed me a leaflet for the leftist candidate for Paris and when I told her I took issue with his stance on rent control she just looked at me like this

@TrueSlazac @gatuluc Well, up until 18 century economists didn’t exist, and until 20 century they were merely noticing.

@gatuluc Without economists you'd be a subsistence farmer

@HeSBK Please tell me what is evil about being against a policy every economist considers harmful

@TrueSlazac You are thinking of Valentina Tereshkova, who was chosen for flight for being good communist instead of good cosmonaut. Other cosmonauts were much more normal.

RIP Yuri Gagarin, could have lived to the 21st century and have a lengthy career as MP of United Russia whitewashing Putin's regime

@nikicaga Try it with Russian/Ukrainian mayo, it will be so much better. For some reason Serbian mayo is full of vinegar and they put too much of mayo. Also, eat it with rye bread, this is golden combo.
English
Occasionally I eat too much Russian Salad during holidays and I'm like "nah its mid, we have better salads"
But I always come back to eating Russian Salad. They put crack in the mayo, I think

@SlimyCakes @nikicaga Yes, but data is shit, Belarus and Kazakhstan solidly outperformed Ukraine and arguably outperformed Russia.
