It's not that anyone is bring kicked to the curb for being mentally ill or addicted. However, for most housing, you have to pay and respect some rules. If you can't pay or can't respect the rules, then you'll either have

For what it's worth, my parents work in providing either free or below market rate housing. People provided eith such housing can have trouble keeping it due to their various personal problems. I agree with you that there is a housing

Are the people telling you that many homeless are drug addicts or mentally ill professionals on the subject? It's well regarded that both types of people are over-represented in the homeless population. https://en.m.wikipedi

With Amazon I feel confident that my credit card information will not be stolen, but I do not have the same level of confidence about getting legitimate products.

This is my observation as well. Often you can find the total cost including shipping is at or under the Amazon Prime cost with free shipping. However, most of the time this means you will have to take "standard" instead of two-day

The chance of collision should also be considered. Since intersection collisions are the same or worse for riding a bicycle on the sidewalk, we should consider overtaking while there is insufficient space which seems like it would be a stro

Driveways/sidewalk crossings are not necessarily designed for cycling speed traffic. Motorists do not expect bicycles when crossing sidewalks.

Isn't privacy/anonymity in a crowd just a thing of the present? In a small village, everyone knew who you were and knew your past.

I think it makes sense to have multiple possible ways to compel someone to behave as you'd like. Money can be a way, but I agree that other ways could be as or more effective and accessible.

I think it's good that they're exploring the trade-off between the convenience of home delivery versus the convenience of last minute decision to buy. If the meal kits were carried in corner stores or along the route from the subw

Sometimes I comparison shop at other online stores. It has not been uncommon to find the cost for an item at another store plus shipping is equal to or less than buying it with Amazon Prime. Am I really paying for movies and music which I h

From the article, it turns out that their opinions eventually did not matter. It would be nice to change their opinion at least so they aren't bitter about it.

This is absolutely the issue at hand. The two sides are monopoly + public utilities commission (FCC) or market competition. To get market competition, we'll still have to have SOME monopoly unless you want multiple "last miles&quo

Potentially the net metered electricity doesn't have to travel as far. Maybe it goes to the house next door. That said, it makes sense to steeply adjust the rate if the net metering starts causing long distance flows.

I see where you're coming from. I can get on board with that; we can address root causes before needing to remove these fixes/patches. Though I think we should keep both things in mind; perhaps the day can be celebrated when we ca

When you phrase it that way, it sounds like you think it's hopeless to have a system with objectively fair rules. Notwithstanding the probably uninspired resulting college environment, I think it would be hypothetically fair to admit p

Non-sarcastically, I think this is a completely reasonable subjective way to resolve the issue. It's what our political systems are doing.

Is the alternative that we play poker and after every N rounds the chips are redistributed so that everyone has the same amount? At what point(s) should redistribution happen? At what point(s) should it stop to allow better decision making?

GW is a very important characteristic of an energy storage system, especially as a ratio of GWh. A technology could store 100TWh, but if it can only release 1kW, I'm not interested. The comment you replied to said "just a valid an

I think Marin County is an example of self-sorting. People who want to live there do want to live in suburban developments. I don't think a YIMBY Party would have as good of a chance of capturing much of the vote. (Additionally, the
