Poor birdie. The saddest thing I ever saw was a dead (windowstruck) woodcock in a planter next to a glass high rise in the Seaport.

"Character" can't legally be used to deny an application (with the exception of designated historic/village districts).

My customers' appetites will be ruined if they perceive that members of a lower economic class might live somewhere nearby.

I mean, those two ARE morally vacant nitwits who deserve to be shown the door; but they are not representative of the rest of us.

Btw, in light of the reported Bondi subpoena, I think it is credible to posit that she and Noem will somehow get ousted, then MAGAworld will spin it to demonstrate that women aren't good at *stuff.*

Holy s**t, I never thought I would be cheering on Thom Tillis.

This is obviously a little bit of a flavor-of-the-month topic, which will flame out in the public mind soon; but, regardless: does anybody look at these weirdos and think they are anything other than pathetic losers? The irony is almost unbearable.

In fairness, many NIMBYs don't want the strip malls either. They want to freeze the world in some hazy snapshot of their memories from childhood, but ALSO don't want to shoulder the tax burden for being under-developed.

My shoes and I spent some time with my Congressman celebrating one of our pending economic development projects today.

Ugh, I heard that bit as well. Someone should ask them if they are willing to give up representation in DC after the next census.

Where I live we have Schrodinger's students: somehow, simultaneously we have too many students to allow more housing, but too few students to justify keeping the public high school open.

For those playing the home game: both of these things cannot simultaneously be true.

Right? Certainly not the fascist-lite garbage espoused by so many supposed "libertarians."

MIND BLOWN: a young guy (28) from the CT Libertarian party made a fantastically cogent argument in favor of SB-151 as decentralizing property rights from the "local control" of Planning & Zoning gatekeepers to the individual property owner.

And now it's a woman from your own home town cranking it up "why don't they go to the cities instead."

One of the 169 cranks is testifying right now.

I am currently listening to the testimony. They are more polite when the mics and cameras are on, but their arguments are still nonsensical.
