Your opinion is not a language authority. It's fine that you believe it to be incorrect but you are no more authorized in dictating correctness than someone who disagrees with you.

Singular you was incorrect for centuries before it was correct. In between incorrect and correct, you have a good 100 years of grey area usage where social pressures urged change. This is no different. The fact that a grammar change hasn&#x

But why would we need to protect identities of public servants ? I disagree with the entire presumption that the information requested is private. It falls squarely within the principles of the laws on the books and is consistent with the

Likewise, no one has the right to restrict density on property they don't own. Property owners have actual rights...they are listed explicitly on the deed or easement. Buying a property does not and never will confer the right to restr

Cities aren't inherently expensive. Even in some of the richest and most prosperous cities in our human history, there have always been people less well off that could afford to live there. The only reason we have this concept of citie

The funny thing about macroeconomics is that everybody is a critic of it for different reasons. Non-economists might hate it because it tells them things that they find paradoxical or hard to swallow. Microeconomists might criticize it beca

Just to point out the misconception most people have here, that quote does not imply that growth is not infinite. Take, for example, compound growth that grows at a rate that declines over time asymptotically approaching 0%. That is infinit

The focus on veganism as an answer to environmental problems is absurd. Yes, beef is a huge problem, and it's not particularly healthy for you anyway. But cutting out eggs, chicken, honey, or dairy isn't going to make anywhere nea

Choosing one day a week to be completely miserable sounds like a much worse path to veganism than cutting back one thing at a time.

Of course not. I'm a transit advocate myself, but I'd rather see 200 miles of at grade light rail than 50 miles of subway. But it's extremely common in discussions about alternatives to find attitudes like "we might as w

The sentiment you express will likely be down voted by mass transit advocates, but it should be understood better by them. Cause it sucks to pay massive taxes and see other people get all the benefit. The priorities are often out of balance

There's an easy way to charge market prices and have them be lower. You can raise supply by playing more shows. And if a band values its long term fans, they should have an interest in getting as many people into their shows as possibl

Without even looking at architecture, they went from lisp to python to node. While I certainly wouldn't have chosen any of those languages, it seems like every step they took was a step backwards. What's next, tcl/tk?

Zoning is the primary means by which supply is restricted in the US. That isn't facile, that is ordinary root cause analysis and reasoning in action. Japan is proof that zoning doesn't have to represent a restriction on housing su

Fixation on anything other than housing supply is fixating on irrelevant noise. That includes density...there are plenty of dense cities that nonetheless restrict new supply and are thus unaffordable. Other affordable first world cities hav
