  1. Past hour
  2. OK, let's take a look: 1) doubling down on rent control, perhaps the most widely panned economic policy besides tariffs, As already pointed out, rent control is a long established thing in New York City. You say he's "doubling down." What does that mean? More of the status quo? (2) fully subsidized BMR housing (that’s going at around $1.3m per 1k sq ft unit in SF and DC - I’d assume NYC is the same and they need 1 million units in the next decade. The math doesn’t math.) Do you know how PPP affordable housing works? If you say "yes" give a brief synopsis (then I'll set you straight) (3) allowing market rate development only to the extent it is weighed down by interest group concessions to the point it isn’t economically feasible. Tell me what the 'interest group concessions' are. ************************************************ This below is all opinion or gibberish or both: My apologies, that was still too much in the weeds, but the upshot is that the progressive approach has a very low likelihood of success because it is simply not realistic regardless of any level of support. More fundamentally, it is not designed to succeed because it is based on a politics of scarcity that favors incumbent residents at the expense of future ones, which is a fair summation of blue city progressive politics overall. I don’t think this scarcity mindset is necessary, so I vote against it. To his credit, Zohran is a very positive guy who, unlike most DSA types, tries to avoid the zero sum class warfare game when it comes to affordability.
  3. Annnnnd it’s gone.
  4. jp crawford just had a 17 pitch at-bat where he fouled off five different types of pitches. ended with a flare out to shallow left. still cool to watch.
  5. How could it be anybody but Wilson? Dude caused zero problems and was always there to help
  6. Sure. Whose opinion should be considered here? Yours?
  7. Loved it. The humor/horror mix was perfect - I feel like it's what Cregger was trying to do with Barbarian, but couldn't quite get it (and I liked Barbarian a lot).
  8. fuck that asshole
  9. than perhaps one might think likely. is that hemingway?
  10. Tech unveiled a couple of Tech branded pump jacks near the stadium this Friday. Pretty sharp. And the fact they gotta pizz off the Greta Thunberg crowd makes them even better
  11. holy fuck, this movie is dog shit
  12. junior caminero quietly living up to the hype. just dropped his fourth bomb in three days, giving him 32 hr and 80 rbi in the middle of a terrible lineup. guy’s got chandler simpson and christopher morel batting behind him.
  13. Was extremely brief for the topic, but it was last month (below). As housing affordability is my top political issue, I find the blowback on this thread (not from you) quite amusing.

  15. For a happily married woman Faith is putting dem titties out there for admiration. I added the "happily" part myself.
  16. I don’t know yet, but I guess we’ll find out.

    The Netflix doc is great, focusing as it does on the music. It’s fun. Those old guys seem so grand. There is a darker documentary to make, getting into the narcissistic bad behavior, the psychopathy of their manager and their complete and total neglect of IP law.
  18. Sounds like we’re about to see many off schedule QB runs until the O gets settled. We should all be prepared for a shit offense week 1 in the shoe. Likely (no surprise) to be an ugly slugfest
  19. I vote to incorporate the term Cajun Hotstick into any future thread title changes.
  20. This is VERY MUCH the case with Tech and Lubbock. The campus is nothing like the rest. As long as you don’t have to do any driving away from campus it is pretty nice.
  21. Ehlinger TD pass
  22. Golden Gate is (was, soon) a great place to play craps (plus dancing dealers). Those tables are about to be gone and it's a trend that's going to continue. Operational cost + lessening demand = death of live craps. I mean, why mess with social friction, unpredictability of dealers and judgment from other players when you can have an ETG? The interactions, surly dealers and camaraderie / reactions from others around the table are exactly what make live craps so damn fun. Oh well, the die is being cast and there's no turning back. There will continue to be live craps tables, with the trend of continued higher mins, but the reality is that there will continue to be less and less of them. Long read, Roeben can tend to go on and on: https://www.casino.org/vitalvegas/golden-gate-to-replace-all-live-table-games-with-electronic-table-games/
  23. FUCK YOU VINCE MACKEY. I DON'T SEE ANY ENCHIRITO IN THAT PHOTO. HERE'S A REFRESHER COURSE IN THE LANGUAGE OF TACO BELL. IT'S SPELLED: ENCHIRITO.
