@BuddyMancala @TimmyTemple12 @MikeDiplockre Because people try to skirt laws, so it becomes more byzantine.

@the_leftenant @hemingquay @SamBuntz Jesus, got a bunch of rain there. I'd rather let my knees suffer than be drenched all day long.

p.118 he has a great essay about Ballard, Baudrillard states Ballard's allusion.

@Fuhtarks Ou peut-être que les deux parties s’équilibrent?

[Oliver @OliverCretton]

@hemingquay @SamBuntz Telling on yourself. There are like 10 caminos, the only busy ones are the Frances and the Portugues. Chud mindset.

@NicoGladia @jeuasommenulle And municipalities take 10 years to update them anyway, see current VD fiasco. Also a lot of NIMBYism.

Plus pension funds have an implicit incentive to keep building limited to inflate their CHF denominated assets (i.e urban real-estate). It's fucked.

@NicoGladia @jeuasommenulle Stated goal was to stop paving over agri land to stay as self-sufficient in food as possible.

Second-order effect was to limit building, as greenfield sites were severely limited. Municipal building codes didn't increase density within buildable areas enough to compensate. 1/2

@JulienHoez My razor is that German politicians consistently makes the wrong decisions. So France is probably on the right side of this.

@RokoMijic @kunley_drukpa Aka the famille nucléaire absolue bad boys.

[Oliver @OliverCretton]

@NicoGladia @jeuasommenulle Also because planning laws have such long timelines, it'd take another 20 years to start fixing the problems created by LaLAT if we started today.

[Oliver @OliverCretton]

@NathanpmYoung stephenson is an incredible writer, between this and cryptonomicon he got the whole QE-slop era.

[Oliver @OliverCretton]

@NicoGladia @jeuasommenulle Agreed in large part, if the LaLAT had allowed more density in city centres a large part of the frustration would have dissipated.

@davidSenTe @SamoBurja I don't have an opinion on price, what I take issue with is your statement on the infallibility of markets.

[Oliver @OliverCretton]

@davidSenTe @SamoBurja Can you qualify smart money? Or is it just a placeholder for stonks up?

@irumyuui1 @noahpasaran provincial af take

[Oliver @OliverCretton]

@Eric_Erins It's a consequence of the massification of tourism. People travel to more provincial places than they used to, travel has become more democratised and style in general has become more casual and materials cheaper.

@LittleMoonBoy1 @nikicaga Man who has never heard of a "civil war".

@mmjukic This is just sublimated calvinism. Predestination means that wealth is interpreted as divine favour.
