  1. I kind of get why they would want to limit the number of permits though...we don't want food vendors lining every street and it would also hurt restaurants.

  2. Speak for yourself, I would love for more food vendors to be available.

  3. What deep, thoughtful rebuttal. You've certainly convinced me of the error of my ways!

  4. Well, I mean when you’re just so far gone at this point there’s nothing left to say.

  5. Have you considered trying to say why my argument is wrong?

  6. Why bother with nicknames? Just call him a fat ass with fake hair that only pornstars and mail order brides will sleep with.

  7. We should do that too, but it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue as easily as a nickname

  8. More competition makes it more difficult to collude because you have to coordinate a larger number of people who each individually have an incentive to defect

  9. The city doesn’t need more funding. It needs to be more efficient with the extremely high tax yield it receives. Our budget is the size of some European countries and we still can’t balance it

  10. It's kind of a weird discussion because the MTA is massively wasteful with its budget and could do way more just by spending it more efficiently. And yet - congestion pricing will still be good because it will reduce the amount of traffic and pollution brought in by cars. The MTA could light its new congestion pricing money on fire (and probably will) and I'll still be happy to see fewer cars in Manhattan.

  11. I always thought it was the opposite with luxury condos.

  12. Looks like that's just an issue with super-luxury condos that are vastly more expensive than the others nearby, which are a vanishingly small fraction of actual homes in NYC. For most condos in NYC, even those marketed as "luxury", they're going to be paying more than a single family house with the same value would.

  13. The same people will still buy them up. That's the whole problem discussed here.

  14. The more houses there are, the more difficult it becomes for one person to buy them all up

  15. I didn't say we shouldn't. I'm just describing one of the benefits of building more houses.

  16. As someone who programs professionally in both Dart and Go, manually writing if err != nil after every single function call is absolutely not a good experience. Not only does it make writing code take longer, but it also makes me take longer to understand other people's code because the code's signal-to-noise ratio is lower.

  17. Does this actually do anything or does it just declare that we should have more trees?

  18. This is a known scam. They'll ask you to send them the remainder of the funds from the check, and then the check will bounce, leaving you high and dry.

  19. Want to stress here how much this a Union town and how unwise it is to go around the unions

  20. I'm curious, can you expand on that? What happens if someone works on their own, outside the unions?

  21. So there's a law stating that new bike and bus lanes need to be built every year. And Adams has now plainly stated that he plans to ignore this law.

  22. If a law isn't enforced, then it's effectively optional. Sadly, it sounds like the decision makers face no consequences if this "law" isn't followed, so yes, it's optional.

  23. Discovery Plus has all the modern seasons

  24. If it's half of what they built last year, I doubt it is a process related issue, nimbyism, etc. Likely nothing changed between last year and this year.

  25. It is absolutely a process related issue - there was a tax break that was used to fund an inclusionary zoning mandate, and the city council let the tax break expire this year, so now there's an unfunded inclusionary zoning mandate.

  26. On the other hand, do we want the streets flooded even more with vendors? No.

  27. Food vendors are good. I for one would love there to be more of them.

  28. The archetypal Alon Levy post: broad strokes correct, details wrong, and needlessly inflammatory.

  29. What specific details are wrong?

  30. Why can NYC landlords get away with more than Albany landlords?

  31. That would be nice, but there are still gluts in the supply chain last I heard.

  32. The gluts in the supply chain are not the bottleneck; zoning laws (and in some cases, permitting processes) are.

  33. If the supply of materials were the bottleneck then we would see a similar lack in construction in different cities. In contrast, if zoning were the bottleneck, the lack of building would be more pronounced in cities with stricter zoning laws.

  34. This is a joke and you shouldn't listen to target who have incetives to inflate this. Lets look at the numbers in the articles

  35. What incentive does Target have to inflate this number?

  36. Not tried either series but always wanted to, what games should I start with?

  37. Trails in the Sky is where the story starts proper, but it's an old game without modem QOL features. Trails of Cold Steel is much more modern and also a good starting point, although there will be some references here and there that you'll miss.

  38. I don't think the meme is complaining about proper indentation (nor should it be). However, tying functionality to invisible formatting (particularly as spaces and tabs are not systematically treated the same) is a decision that I think has far too many downsides to justify the apparent gain in ease of use avoiding explicitly defined blocks.

  39. Tabs vs spaces ambiguity is not an issue in python; the interpreter will throw an error if you mix tabs and spaces in the same file.

  40. Bruh literally wrote a 20 paragraph story about Elon Musk on a post about ignoring Elon Musk

  41. What do you mean, 'before'? Shouldn't we be doing both as fast as possible?

  42. If you implement LVT before zoning reform, then property owners will have an incentive to lobby against upzoning because it will raise their tax burden.

  43. Spending money is not the same thing as building. The US spends lots of money, but due to the enormous amount of red tape and bureaucracy involved in building anything (see laws like NEPA for example), we don't actually build very much infrastructure.
