Walk to the waterfront and look at boats.
Go to Trader Joe's.

Reply to A+ coalition building by Progressive Democrats leader Hector Oseguera. Is this his strategy for getting >30% of the vote next time? by clade_nade
Besides being politically counterproductive -- who exactly does he think is voting for progressive candidates in cities? -- this take is like forty years out of date. Young white people in urban centers, known for their... dislike of seasoned food?

One of my favorite buildings to see when I'm walking down Liberty Street after work, love the way the sunset reflects off of it... Namely for the synthwave vibes it gives off as the building's different angles capture the light differently.
Makes me annoyed that my smartphone can't ever capture what I'm seeing.

Why are so many blue? Am i missing something obvious? Like... We have tons of Hue lights but I can't recall ever setting them all to Blue unless my kiddo was just goofing around.

I started to get a monthly pass, but I've seen some drivers on the #1 ask people to start using it. I've noticed people having a hard time using it though

This is brilliant. Most of them don't buy anything anyway.

That's a different story, allowing one fare to be used across multiple systems is a very good thing as it generates additional trips that wouldn't be done otherwise due to high cost. Since the fare is still existent, those extra trips add revenue which otherwise wouldn't have been there.

The problem is the cost of fare controls is not in the same universe as the revenue generated by fares
If such a fare free scheme were passed, it would have to be passed as a package deal with the revenue - if it's not, the revenue drop will just make them cut service

Gorgeous from the outside, but those apartments are smaller than my patio and I pay half the rent. I'm good lol

The mall is private property and should ban teenagers who are unaccompanied by an adult after 3pm with armed security to enforce the rules. Atlanta mall bans teenagers

Don't disincentivize what?
For example, taxes on cigarettes do in fact discourage smoking. "Most studies found that raising cigarette prices through increased taxes is a highly effective measure for reducing smoking among youth, young adults, and persons of low socioeconomic status." You're equating different kinds of incentives. Or I guess the NIH is just conservative propaganda.
By your logic non-smokers are just "cheap" and should probably pay that money too since that all smoker tax money is subsidizing health programs that might just benefit them or society.

Taxes don’t disincentivize. That’s conservative fear mongering. It’s been shown again and again taxes don’t do that. There’s decades of data on this.
The whole premise of your argument is a flawed attempt to mask being cheap.

>Right.., and the way they make good things is by taxing those with advantage
But what kind of advantage???
Not "lives near transit" that's just dumb and disincentivizing the exact behavior you want to encourage. We've already covered this.
>as you propose
I literally said "tax the rich to build more." Come on now have an honest discussion.

In Berlin they have subsidized transit across the city. Hop on/off rail lines, trams, buses. All for the price of one ticket.
No it’s not free like you say, but for the cost of one light rail ticket you can go everywhere in Berlin with ease and efficiency.

My apartment has tons of light, I have never heard my neighbors, and I think the barn doors are cute. Just offering another viewpoint.
