Finland had an offer from the USSR to swap some land for double the size elsewhere. After the "serious military victory over ussr" it lost that land plus some more for the total of 11% of its area, including its second largest cit

There are two kinds of IF: a skipping a meal kind, when you only eat during a 6-8 hour window and it's easy to fit a 4 hour bike ride in there or a skipping a day kind, when you don't eat every third/fourth day, then you can

One can actually measure the work done in cardio - chest HRM or pod can measure running through acceleration, and bikes and rowing machines can have power meters, measuring work applied to the drive axle. It's not the consumed energy b

"Exercise" in these studies could be something like leisure walking for a couple of hours. That can only affect your weight by keeping you away from your snacks for a couple of hours, its energy expenditure is not moving your weig

I think I figured what your problem is. You have the whole process backwards. It's not the judge who orders the police around to catch criminals. The police catches criminals and gives them to the DA, who may bring them to court and as

>Do police arrests/detainments go through traffic court? I assume you meant "arrest warrants" because most arrests don't go through any court, the police employs sworn officers (same as ICE and other feds) who have a

The police enforces civil law just as same as criminal law. For example, most traffic infractions are civil and don't go "through actual Courts". 'Traffic' court is not an Article 3 court. The funny thing is that a

It's same in every big city in the US. It's not normal in the sense of conforming to customs and laws, but definitely is a norm in the sense of usual.

You should care about other people, I think: the people who live in American cities and being harassed by homeless. Nobody is above the law, being on drugs or mentally ill is not an excuse. And if you cared about the homeless, you'd un

Camping in front of business is not against the code, people used to do that for big movie openings or for other commercial events some time ago. With the residential property there are actual overnight occupancy limits which are easy to sh
252.
by pandaman 9mo ago
I doubt very much there is any place in the US where overnight occupancy is 0 for a commercial property. Where I live you can have a 24 hour business. Living in commercial property is forbidden, but what exactly is living is up to the code

I think you are confused. Zoning is not words, zoning is a set of regulations. There is no zoning for an Indian restaurant yet you can open one in a commercial lot and can't in a residential or agricultural. Same with homeless camps: t

Wherever it's legal for them to do what they do. In my city it's illegal to camp on the streets. And yes, I don't think the fact that they are homeless is a problem, the fact that they harass citizens with the permission of t

I am glad that going directly after illegal behavior is an option for you but I live in a blue city, where DA practices "restorative justice" and the mayor allowed homeless to camp everywhere by a decree (it took a referendum and

>I don't see why this is to be expected, but a business shouldn't expect to pay a fine Understandable, you don't seem to know what zoning does so it might not be evident to you that commercial zoning is different from resi

>Everything has a downside. Well, you should probably respond to the person who could not figure any downsides of a mom and pop store in a residential neighborhood because I am well aware of the downsides.

I had been reporting the property to code every week - it's indeed against the law to allow people to live in a commercial property. The code officer they've sent was unable to find people living on the property each time, she sai

Why would you think that I don't see that the homeless are a problem? They are a huge problem and I don't really care what happens to them just as they don't care what happens to me but yes, they should not be allowed to camp
260.
by pandaman 9mo ago
But the city allows it. And it has everything to do with zoning. If it was a house next door allowing a homeless encampment the owner would be paying fines, at least, not to mention he would be living in a homeless camp, which is not someth

I don't see anything wrong with being selfish but your comment still made me giggle: you want me to bend over to provide your specific benefit or you will call me bad words.

by pandaman 9mo ago
It's not a "very specific problem", it's a general problem - commercial property next to residential.

I did explore it, but there is not much to do without police reports. I had only reports for theft but those were not investigated, could not get noise reports as the cops would not come or come during daytime when the homeless went off the

by pandaman 9mo ago
I could, but most people, even the ones who advocate for "homeless rights" don't want to live in a homeless camp. They are fine with letting others though.

Neither do I, yet it's a much higher probability with a commercial property vs residential.

You are not from the US, are you? The government of big cities here is taken over by people who believe the society we have is to be dismantled.

Perhaps, but how is it relevant? I responded to a question of what are possible downsides of a mom and pop store next to your house.
