  1. This is one of my favorite things about living in AZ. Zero aggy.
  2. These sound fine to me.
  3. You motherfuckers need to watch red dawn
  4. Has Missouri ever won a football game of consequence?
  5. Ugly is the standard?
  6. Things you can count on in college football: 1) Venebles will do something stupid and 2) Missouri will fold under pressure. Movable object meets resistable force today. We’ll see who wants it least.
  7. I’d be interested in a drop comparisons between those two as well. I suspect Sayin’s receivers comprehend their job description (and position title) better.
  8. One team is wildly underperforming and the other is steamrolling up to expectations. Simple as that.
  9. Our president/cult leader (and others apparently) grabs little girls by the pussy. This isn’t new news. Not a god damn thing will happen other than the republicans will grandstand and “investigate” some Dems. Real fucking productive.
  10. He’s not afraid.
  11. Planet of the apes is really earth
  12. Rhys in Perry Mason was outstanding.

    NIMBYism

    SRO could absolutely be helpful for that.

    NIMBYism

    We can fight for it all we want. And I agree it’s a good premise: more people being able to afford a decent/appropriate place to live is better. Slorch is also right: ain’t no guarantees and you aren’t owed anything - you want it, go earn it. The problem is this: the only time a market-rate rental housing unit gets built in this country is when someone like me (a developer) and a capital partner (usually big institutional investor like a life co, PE group, REIT, Family office, etc) thinks they can make money at it. The idea that more units being delivered brings down rents is accurate but only to a point. Guess what deters investment in new units more than anything? Falling rents. Same thing with for sale housing. Except it’s usually a public homebuilder building. They probably don’t have project specific financing but they do answer to Wall Street, who will put the kibash on bustling new units when prices are falling. Oh, and guess what happens when house prices fall… they all fall. So we aren’t getting price relief without every US homeowner’s balance sheet taking the hit. I’ve only seen two times in my life when prices fell - the S&L wipeout and the GFC. I don’t think anyone wants those again, though they would help housing prices and rent.
