Thank you! I was thinking that the site should offer a simple list as an option. Ironically, in the strict (and best) sense of the notion "user interface" (i.e. being an effective, efficient, easy conveyance of information to&#x2

"California's still experiencing a housing shortage" It is, indeed -- a result of the very policy-making I'm referring to. I'll enthusiastically leave that, the ever-increasing homeless population, the high taxes,

I moved to California 25 years ago, and for the past 10 have become increasingly motivated to leave; due to not only tax policy, but overall politics. I'm not in the 0.5% they're targeting, but experience teaches me what comes ne

I was actually hoping that at the end, it would be revealed that the article was written by a bot.

Meh. When a person identifies with a stupid idea (i.e. "I'm a flat earther"), then the person is stupid along with the idea, and it's okay to say so (IMHO). It's good for evolution to give such "corrections&qu

No, _we_ didn't decide anything regarding the perfectly acceptable use of the word "master". The enraged mob has demanded it -- don't reward mobs. To use the word to make light of the history of slavery is vulgar and so

I get the impression that we're now in an undeclared Cold War with China.

Yes. To claim to have Imposter Syndrome is really a form of humblebrag, and often a way of seeking validation. "No, you really _are_ smart and capable"

It'd be perfect for older folks, especially if also in proximity to public transport. 95% of their needs could be satisfied by a healthy walk downstairs to the store.

They contain some of the worst ones, yes. What a weak counterargument you make!

Such "house as many as you can squeeze in" options will quickly turn neighborhoods into slums. The idea is planning for a certain density, and then not exceeding it. That way you can better plan for traffic, electricity and water

The composition of the NBA is staggeringly disproportionate relative to the overall population. That's a problem, too, right?

Hah. I quit Nextdoor over all that racist BLM nonsense. We already have a Twitter. Good to know I made the right decision.

"we are duty bound to take whatever legal actions we can to correct the situation." So, you're inciting violence? I do enjoy irony, but hypocrisy is quite different.

News Industry == a branch of the Entertainment Industry, so no. Journalism has been subverted by Activism, so we're in a bad state of things. I would love to see a new model take form, one that restores actual journalism. A good busin

So much new perspective and so many new rules to absorb. We need some kind of efficient way to learn these things. Maybe some kind of (re-)education center, maybe. Hey, it's summertime -- how about a camp? /s We're in very

You have my sympathy re: the breakup. Why is it "Since my landlord offered no help and my lease is up" instead of " my rent is due, but I can't afford it". You make it sound like the landlord is at fault.

It's odd to me how "experience" has replaced "education" as the goal of universities. Like the comment says, "y'all are using it wrong": "University is a place where teachers and students who ar
