not exactly what you asked, but i've tried out Junie[0] because I've already got JetBrainz IDEs set up and love them. It's terrible. For comparison, I've only used cursor on greenfield toy projects, but cursor is way bet

Is it possible to develop cheap SRO-style housing without needing it all to be clustered together? It's easier to convert a single building into a bunch of SRO units, but that's just a recipe for more community backlash and econ
