This is interesting because I tend to think of packing as a dirtbag thing rather than a nomad thing... when I'm hotel hopping for extended periods I just bring normal luggage. Maybe I should start bringing my backpack instead. My first

This is all absolutely true. "Economic development" is a weird world. There is a logic: elected officials want to be seen as supporting new business growth but of course can't literally invest taxpayer money in seed rounds. I

There is a way to resolve things without the heavy hand of law enforcement/courts/the state, but it requires those options as a backdrop: 1. You have a conversation and politely ask as a neighbor. Maybe mention it a couple times t

Setting aside the issue of cults, recruiting from church networks is fairly common. It's not surprising and often not nefarious. After all, a church is just another social setting. People also recruit from other non-professional networ

It's good to hear that your jurisdiction takes rodents seriously! If a picture of a rat could get a building condemned in all jurisdictions, NYC would be leveled by the end of the week ;-)

Yeah, it's a matter of power dynamics and enforcement rather than the letter of the law. Renters are low class and have very little political power. Fortunately for us, food truck operators in that city are also low class and also have

Sure, but in our case, it was helpful to be able to appeal to (apparently now controversial?) food truck regulations rather than reform a bureaucracy that the entire rich & connected rentier class would likely fight tooth and nail to ke

A "people's office" is the top recommendation in the report: 1. Create a true one-stop shop for starting a business, with step-by-step guides and well-organized information that cover city and state requirements. 2. Simplify

At my last apartment, we got a new neighbor who ran a food truck and dumped the food truck's trash in our apartment's trash bins. This obviously introduced many issues. The (~6 very large) bins were always full by 3 days after pic
