@Vierd1 @GunnelsWarren Social security isn’t an investment. It’s an immediate transfer from the young to the old.

@PigsAndHogs @GunnelsWarren So! Redistribution is the point of taxes in a social state

@JBickertonUK Ah yes, here in the US we survive on golf courses 🤔

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@marcinthelab @ArmandDoma Employer side payroll taxes?

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@elaifresh No these people got live at subsidized price housing for years. That’s tens (100s?) of thousands of dollars they saved/the state saved.

@RedactedDeGen @happysmash27 @jaymart222 I don’t get the lead thing- on west coast most buildings have lead in the old paint that is painted over. Is there some other lead issue in nyc I don’t know about?

That's how to turn a corner!

New, in Tampa

@Noahpinion Market street is much nicer without the cars. Its still not great. Used to be way worse.

@Jay3130Jay 90% of baseball fields (at least where I live!) need to be repurposed. Its just not that popular of a sport and the fields are not very multi-purpose.

The scale of activity we lost from our urban cores to malls is hard to believe.

The Hudson's in Detroit peaked at 32 floors (410'). It had 48 escalators and 76 elevators, one of which was large enough to drive a semi trailer into. Its restaurants averaged 16,000 meals per day.

@Micky_Horstman Yes to speed camera tickets. No to late fees (over like $5). The ticket will get added to your registration. Late ticket payment is not the social issue we are trying to solve.

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@coryfromphilly @soft_fox_lad I’m pro speeding tickets but anti late frees. Small late fees ok but why are people who don’t pay in time double or triple penalized. Paying on time is not the social issue we are trying to fix.

@LA_Multi_Fam @OXHarryH1 City can buy occupied rent controlled buildings. They can get a deal and then the units stay affordable when tenants move out. Higher uncertainty tho with old building, and current tenants may not be low income so it’s up for debate on whether it’s good use of funds.

@Jeff_Richmond @Boenau An even better statistic would take into account the number of cars per adult or per licensed person.

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@Normbulance @Boenau What’s your insurance cost per month? Total value of your cars?

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@the_transit_guy And leaving the car idling the whole time!!!

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@StatisticUrban I think buying from builders isn’t a bad idea. But I think you’re over exaggerating the spread. Nonprofit costs more for variety of reasons. Sure these are some eye watering numbers from the article. But please show me the stats that backup the 2-4 times more is typical.

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@mattbaran @jasonc_nc Do you know the cost per unit or square foot?

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@TheCincyBuckeye @purslanette @the_transit_guy Watch the city nerd videos he has a very fair treatment comparing different travel modes.

[Sprouted Snacking Seeds @babbar_official]

@TheCincyBuckeye @purslanette @the_transit_guy Depends on where you’re going and where you’re starting and how far you’re traveling. One advantage hsr has over planes is that stations can be centrally located. The dead time (3 hours total?) at airports is also avoided.
