@brianfauteux Unless you're also smoking in the parking lot of GTA-suburban Tim Horton's, then you're not getting the full experience intended by the artists...
@AsVacation@CAyimbro@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview@MikeFellman (Texas is growing faster than California *and* it's construction industry is also growing, so the above affect seems to be occurring) (But please continue with your sick burns, I am but a smug dumb man)
@AsVacation@CAyimbro@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview@MikeFellman (Texas wages are also growing faster than the average state too, which means construction in Texas is above average for an above average state, exactly the type of wage you'd think would bring more people to Texas and to the sector) (But I'm the dumbest one here, so *shrug*)
@michaeldomps@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview They get into it man! And some of it is "take away steps" and some of it is "don't require as many conditions" and some of it is "take away veto points"
Buddy I promise you reading the book will take less time than twitter warring about it. It's not that long a book!
@michaeldomps@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview *deep, exhausted sigh*
Yes. It's a whole chapter....
I'm once again begging you to read the book you're so eager to critique.
@Merleau1979@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview This link bolsters my argument if anything? It argues that “yes our data shows new housing is good and helps poor people, but what we also wonder is, what if it didn’t”
Let’s build a shit ton more house and see, I guess?
@michaeldomps@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview It’s actually public housing built in cali more generally with serve al generalized lessons for the country as a whole, but this question and many more could be answered by reading the dang book!
@CAyimbro@MikeFellman@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview It was a reference to modular buildings which are allowed in China - and many other capitalist places - that was being used as an example of an innovation that is barred from use in America. You are ignore the trust of the argument to focus on China for some reason.
@CAyimbro@MikeFellman@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview What is in your people's brains!? We should not build cheap modular homes because China did it first!? What does China have to do with a good housing idea that is not allowed in North America!?!
@MikeFellman@CAyimbro@sandeepvaheesan@BostonReview It's a housing innovation that is proven to work and illegal in America - who cares how the Chinese fund it? You're obfuscating the point that innovation CAN happen in the sector it's just not allowed.
DO YOU THINK MODULAR HOUSING IS INHERENTLY COMMUNIST!?!
