Give freedom to your thoughts.
What do we want? Housing for the homeless! When do we want it? After an exhaustive and yearslong community input process that caters to the concerns of businesses and homeowners! Where do we want it? Somewhere else!

Once you push through the crypto gaslighting, you realise there's no meaningful tech here at all all, and the whole of it just gambling, regulatory arbitrage, and scams. Torching the planet to sell expensive entries in a database really is as stupid as it seems.

Watching the Olympics - have sunglasses gone crazy? These styles are wild. Did I miss some sort of sunglasses revolution?
I've been really enjoying the marketing for the electric trucks / mustangs / etc. It's interesting to see their strategy to allow demographics that have disliked Tesla / identify as gas-loving to like these vehicles.

Virginia's weekly vaccine breakthrough report is out. Here is data from June 1 to July 30, which is when Delta circulated. The breakthroughs are still very rare. 97.1% of all cases are unvaxxed. And this is all positives, not just symptomatic. vdh.virginia.gov/coronavirus…

Here’s why I never give a damn about anything a NIMBY has to say about land use or housing.
I am *THIS* close to going off on NIMBYs everywhere.

Once redlining became illegal and the FHA became law, racist folks took their cabal to local codes. ā€œLocal Controlā€ is not a racist dog whistle in housing, it’s a goddamn bullhorn. It’s the pretext used by modern day racists to keep communities white and to keep poor people poor.
