I don't have a link handy. I have seen these stats a lot and discussion of the problem hits HN so often that it never fails to shock me that the statement gets questioned. Someday, I will learn to keep a link handy. For now, I will jus

Problem is job growth is incredibly centralized into a few urban cores. That is why housing prices are out of control. We should realize that the centralization of work should come with the centralization of living, where we build much den

I largely agree with you, except for the subtext that homeless people are all fucked up losers who aren't really trying/can't really be helped. There is a huge deficit of affordable housing in the US. This significantly contr

Several of my relatives have this sort of issue (minus being left handed). Some of them have seen some improvement by taking B vitamins and magnesium supplements, a thing that was tried due to information from a study. It isn't a cure,

If there is Direct Primary Care in your area, that might work. Info: http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2017/01/direct-prima... http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/2017/01/direct

You are making a lot of assumptions that do not apply to my former marriage. For example, there was no money for each of us to have a fun budget. We just were not that well off. I don't disagree with the general principle that, in theo

The comment I was replying to did not specify "in this case" or "in this context" or "when we are talking about San Francisco." Saying that the term is very specific and specifically means X without, yourself,

If you agreed upon an expectation/consequence of "clothes left on the floor for more than 2 days will be thrown away", you wouldn't be putting up with clutter for very long. When you are married, that approach fails on

Most people discussing it on the internet do not actually live in SF. This here is the internet. I just checked. I am not in San Francisco and I am talking about it.

It might be a very specific term clearly defined that way by certain government programs or NGOs, but most people using it just mean housing that people with low incomes can afford as a reasonable portion of their income.

In most cases, when you improve a property, you then charge more because it is improved. It isn't unreasonable on an individual basis, but the end result is that affordable units disappear and do not get replaced. Rinse and repeat and

Well, you are basically fighting with me (but not them) and your criticism of their remark was vastly more sympathetic than your criticisms of me. That is part and parcel of the pattern and it is incredibly insidious. I didn't expect y

So, you are uncomfortable that my ex husband was insulted in public, though he was not named. But me being insulted in public is not a problem. Every single remark here by you errs on the side of some man's feelings mattering a helluva

I am the top ranked openly female member here. That observation is informed by long experience. In gendered discussions that get heated, the majority of people on HN will tend to side with the man or the male point of view. Once a man says

Americans do that a lot too. I have done it and had it go sideways in public discussions. That really was the only explanation needed to straighten things out with me. The problem is that isn't what you said to me. Instead, you informe

Emotional labor is a real thing and a large part of what women are expected to do is rooted in catering to the feelings of other people. But, yeah, it gets used kind of sloppily. Just about anything women want to complain about gets lumped

And yet you are crabbing at me instead of them. Why is that?

So, when you tell me to delete something because it offends you, that's fine. When I tell you that your remark was just as offensive to me, you add yet another criticism of me to your track record and act like I am behaving badly for m

You have that backwards. You replied to a comment of mine in a manner that implies a great many negative things about me and my marriage. Those implications are entirely inaccurate, but given that this is an overwhelmingly male forum, it is

I didn't write the piece. Another issue writers run into is that if you aren't using any of the hot catch phrases, no one will read your piece. I wrestle with this fact a lot. I blog at times about such issues. I try to be evenhan

Basically, the term emotional labor gets used a lot to mean "women's work" and especially to refer to the largely invisible parts of what women are expected to do. I don't like that usage, but I usually don't both

My ex was not messy. He did things like meticulously organize his book collection and kept his own possessions in pristine condition. He was just a sexist pig. He did not think he was a sexist pig. He was very idealistic and talked about th

I'm a big fan of that approach. I recommend it often. But, at the end of the day, if your spouse is simply monstrously inconsiderate, you going out of your way to find environmental solutions is just more work on you to minimize proble

Thank you. But, from the article: “That’s the point,” I said, now in tears, “I don’t want to have to ask.” The word considerate means to consider how your actions or inactions will impact other people. The vast majority of the ongoing i
