Reply to comment by amitym in 95% of Bay Area Cities Lost Zoning Authority: In 105 jurisdictions of the Bay Area, anyone can build any residential projected at any height or density so long as 20% of the units are for low income. by dolphins3

Vancouver has the same issue. They tried to go a large scale rezoning plan and there was a large push from rich residents to have it zoned like "Paris".

Paris, the thousand year old city with no real dt core and unlimited land with no geographical barriers.

Vancouver, a dt core where most business is that is a literal island and The broader area that has oceans or mountains on all 4 sides meaning it is very land restricted and there is an area that isn't even central, downtown, that is highly sought after . We've everyone river crossing requires a 15bn bridge because the rivers and ocean there are huge, unlike the over passes they have in Paris

Nimbys are cancer they got theirs, you can rot.

This from someone that lives in Paris and lives in the affected area and actually owns where that development was for, in other words I'm fine with you knocking down my neighborhood of low rises if it means fellow Canadians can actually own a home.

What nimbys have done is delay and deflect, first claiming it was foreign ownership, then landlords.

If there wasn't such scarcity, people wouldn't buy them to rent them out for profit but we're constantly at .2 percent vacancy.

Foreign ownership is taxed heavily and the money is put to affordable housing, their market share is tiny.

Also, even if you believe the first two points BUILD MORE AND FIND OUT, cuz the status quo of doing nothing isn't helping

But another libertarian on Reddit told me that if you remove all zoning then the free market will efficiently distribute housing density to the people's wants!

Reply to comment by [deleted] in Nebraska cheerleader competes by herself at state competition, but crowd doesn't let her feel alone by BeagleWrangler

If you're going to make negative assumptions about teenage girls, consider the possibility that this girl and/or the coach might be so nasty that the others weren't enjoying the experience.

A bit suspicious that not a single other senior, junior, or sophomore was willing to be a cheerleader. Only 3 freshman who maybe thought it would be fun and then noped out.
