I'm not suggesting that the government should build a train to Bay101. But at the same time, it's an example of a place that thousands of people go to every day, and wouldn't be able to without cars.

Yeah, it's great that these options exist. I've taken Metro North to hike on Mount Beacon before. But I still wouldn't say it's more convenient than a car.

I agree 150 square feet is a bit high for a minimum. Where does that apply? In NYC, the minimum is 80 square feet. Edit: according to this article, the regulations used by 90 percent of US communities allow 70 sq ft. https://www.

> In suburban areas of the midwest, the plot of land with a 3000 sqft house is much cheaper than the actual house. I think the same holds true for most of the US outside of major urban areas. When 1/2 acre costs $30,000 any house yo

What's the difference between a dormitory and a building full of studio apartments?

Most of those rules seem pretty reasonable, tbh. Can you imagine an 8 bedroom house with only one bathroom? The bigger problems I think have to do with building height restrictions and anything else that explicitly restricts the density of

For most people I know in NYC, 640 square feet per person would be a huge upgrade.

Unfortunately, there's no clear definition of ultraprocessed. Like is factory-made whole wheat break ultraprocessed? Canned pinto beans? Artisan cheese? Factory cheese?

Your premise is true, but drastically oversimplified. And your conclusion doesn't follow at all. It's clear that there's a huge public health problem with obesity that needs to be corrected. In order to correct it, we need to

Same here in the Northeast US. People driving work vehicles seem to be in a huge hurry to get to/from the job. It's especially scary as a pedestrian/cyclist because they're usually very large and fairly old vehicles.

There is no market rule that prevents a single stock from dropping 99% in a day. LULD only halts trading for a few minutes, then there's an auction that could result in any price.
