@flatland_sports Maybe if you went to tech…

@yalltitanup I don’t think his husband would have found the purple hoodie/khaki combo very sexy

@DrCameronMurray You’re being deliberately obtuse.

@DrCameronMurray Legislating minimums is tricky. Too easy to set too high for the market to support and end up with less new housing projects

@TexasFootball Yeah great catch. Some damn tight coverage by a true freshman though. Excited for Smoke

@amazonmilkfrog @gabfbispo @Iainite_Iain Exactly. Like with the periodic table, where things are located is not trivial, it’s at the core of geography. Tobler’s law. Bad that people in the field don’t recognize that.

Do people know what geography is?

@mnolangray Or death by a thousand cuts from other regulations like utility easements, stormwater, fire access, others

There hasn't been a missing middle ordinance that I'm aware of that has actually produced a lot of housing unless you include three-story townhouses, a typology that official missing middle housing advocates (ironically) oppose, e.g:

The trouble is that even erstwhile advocates of missing middle legalize it, but then subject to such restrictive design and massing standards that it can never actually get built. That's what's happening right now in Sacramento.

@ognuliscic @feelsdesperate @Holden114 He’s so close. Just right there.

@Shuttlecock @CptAncapistan I was there. People hated Jar Jar

The thing is, a whole generation didn’t hate the Star Wars prequels. I was 18 when Phantom Menace came out, saw it opening night with a few friends from student res, and then rewatched it at least three or four times in the theatre over the next month or so. Pretty much everyone saw this movie (and EpII & III). Guys and girls. Nerds and casuals. Many went multiple times (the box office numbers prove this). The merch sold through the roof, every magazine featured cover stories with the cast, most casual fans thought Jar Jar was funny while the Star Wars nerds were obsessed with the tech behind the character. Girls loved Padme’s fashion while straight guys loved Portman. The online fandom was hyperactive with fan theories, fan art, etc with a very clear even split between the male/female demos. Fan and general public reaction was insanely positive. This particular scene became ICONIC. 98% of the negativity came from the professional film critics. TPM wasn’t perfect by any means but the media definitely tried to push the message that it was a disaster, Jake Lloyd sucked, and that Jar Jar was offensive and racist. This weird gaslighting that it was the fans who were negative and toxic is just current media trying to do damage control for just how negative they were at the time.
