@mattepstein 10k a month? Haha what? The mean two bedroom in all of NYC is $5,900. Remove Mnahanttan and it’s $3,200

@the_transit_guy Quote from season 1 of Yellow Stone “this is America, we don’t share” tells you everything you need to know.

@Boenau The vast majority of commuting in the the Netherlands is by car. They are actually one of the most car centric countries in Europe.

@mnolangray There’s no city anywhere in the world where short term rentals make up more than 1% of the housing but they are easy targets for NIMBYs and politicians trying to score virtue signaling points

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@Bro2John @Boenau All early US looked almost entirely like European cities because they were based off of them. They were ruined mainly so car companies could make more but there’s no reason they couldn’t be changed back.

@bobbyfijan Are you looking at the picture?

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@ajlamesa That’s a distortion. Norway gets massive revenues via nationalized oil exportation that funds much of their Socioty. They don’t even need to charge taxes they have so much money from polluting the rest of the world

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@DPearsonPHL The only places they are viable is where there is extremely high values or unusually low construction cost. Most loose tons of money

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@mnolangray @TheAtlantic Constructions cost have spiraled so out of control in most major cities (where condos are in demand) they are only viable at the top 1 to 2% of the market. Even then the vast majority loose money.

@mnolangray @DPearsonPHL @TheAtlantic There’s no condition building of scale anywhere in the country that isn’t drowning in lawsuits the first 5 years of operation

@JacobPritchett @jongeeting What a loon. Embarrassing

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@Pcrawjr @jongeeting All those historic surface parking lots need to be protected

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@historydefined Americans fixed the lamest part of soccer

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@UrbanCourtyard We are seeing an explosion of seniors buying into Graduate Hospital in Philly. The challenge is there’s little to no housing being built. This is putting young families in competition with vastly wealthier buyers and rapidly impacting affordability.

@marcorandazza Cutting out the middle man is a fundamental economic principle

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@mister_rai_ous @CompletedStreet Having a retail use and a residential in the same building in a row home without a massive parking lot is illegal in all but a tiny tiny fraction of the US

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@CompletedStreet Oh it’s wayyyy higher than 95%. Nation wide it’s well above 99.9%

@theojaffee It’s more an advertisement and data scraping device at this point than a tv.

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@PEWilliams_ All tax polices is almost entirely vibes based at this point . Rent control has been debunked a million times and yet it gets brought up incessantly as some kind of magic bullet for housing affordability

[South Philly Politic @SPolitic]

@lacherbauer Ha! their highways are not tower than American cul-de-sacs. I’ve been chickfiket drive threws with more lanes than that.
