I really think this is why the subway looms so large in the conservative American mind. Because 99% of the time it is proof that the American experiment in diversity triumphs, as long as paranoid white people aren’t there

You can see on pg. 72 (77 pdf) the stat and appendix has market descriptions. The blackstone stuff was very silly but this looks much more like a cartel. Its still likely more of +10% rent in some markets with undersupply bing much bigger but I would love to see a trial.

RealPage makes more sense on my end. The FTC case had pretty good evidence they were setting prices for 29-60% of conventional units in some neighborhoods (think 100k residents). Thats enough to matter at first past. A scenario where 60% of buildings all raise rent at once is material IMO.

I want drone delivery so we can have IRL random loot drops. Like, shoot down drone and get random amazon order. Then get in a shootout with Amazon.

There were so many ads for that when I was in NYC. Seems terrible.

I’m thinking a tornado should do the trick. Just chuck the server farm in it.

I gave a server farm a wedgie and it cried. I'll try a swerlie next.

I like a lot of these ideas. Part of what has worked in the US YIMBY concept is the shaming of bad faith opposition to building stuff.

No, I paid 15 bucks to curse your business.
