The rarity increases the impact, I think

Absolutely not. The condescension in β€œone day you’ll understand” or whatever is insane

As long as everyone tells us their home equity and their monthly housing costs expressed both in dollars and as a percentage of their income, I’m down

I think there is inherent tension in trying not to be like Trump and also explicitly opposing policy bc you (probably incorrectly) think it might make housing cheaper

I’m aware of no evidence that this bill would make housing more affordable. The available evidence indicates the opposite!

Layers of disappointment here. Why the infighting? Why the focus on single family homes? Why the ineffective bill? www.texastribune.org/2026/03/06/d...

I’m convinced that strictly enforcing traffic laws would functionally act as house arrest for a double digit percentage of Americans

The US Is Counting Traffic Deaths Wrong By emphasizing the number of people killed per mile rather than deaths per capita, traffic safety groups risk normalizing the factors that make American roads so deadly.

Americans drive a lot more than people in other rich countries.

If we didn’t drive so much, we wouldn’t die in so many crashes.

It’s a simple point, but one that NHTSA, traffic engineers, and many road safety org’s have yet to learn.

The buildings themselves have accessible entrances. But yeah the sidewalks def aren’t

It’s a private street FYI. Not sure if that changes the requirements

As a professional my only comment on the protein powder is that if you like it, I love it

Someone quoted there that’s still in office. Maybe they can weigh in?

Yes! It’s literally a network! We might as well put water lines up for a vote

A tenant’s safety is just secondary to the convenience of the landed

I suppose enshrining the right of homeowners to dictate road design improvements also implies the right to dictate their removal. It’s on me for my lack of imagination.

Is NDOT really going to remove them, even though they were included in the drawings that land owners voted on?

We also shouldn't have leaders celebrating the removal of public safety measures.

Progressive cities shouldn’t impose poll taxes on public safety measures.
