This effect probably also part of the whole polling phenomena "The economy is doing fine for me, but not me / not my area / the nation at large is doing poorly." That negative narratives take hold and spread more effectively. Enough that people disregard their own lived experiences.

Are we seeing an interplay of two things you've gotten yelled at in the past?
- % of income on housing is flat
- income increases outpaced inflation
- those changes have been unevenly distributed
So there are winners and losers in the shakeup, and the unlucky in the shakeup drive discourse.

At least back to the discontinuation of reconstruction. For every whiny baby who thinks borders alone make a country, there are dozens of us who think bringing the hammer down on treason is the bare minimum

Things that are missing from this picture. Newer homes are often significantly better. Not just size, but functionality. And lots of white flight downstream effects drive higher school ratings out to the suburbs. These weigh heavily when you’re working out a move in a working professional family

II decided to take your advise and actually read the article. And holy moly, every paragraph a new outrage or three. That’s a ton of escalation packed in there.

Been hearing a bunch about the humanities saving us from STEM people. But this is clearly a drama kid publishing their journal of poetry thinking it's profound and romantic.

Not sure how that person wrote that post while 100% ignore the decades of NIMBY arguments against building new housing. Heck, it’s been in institutional investor shareholder statements, “we just let NIMBY’s do the dirty work of stopping competition for us.”

Im against leopards eating peoples’ faces, even when that person is a leopard who’s eaten faces.

imo, the lake on is maybe more of a self-harm offense than a threat. but that also falls in line with zero-tolerance policies.

Localized entirely on The Patriots 40 yard line?

Can I see it?

I’ve spent way too much time with date formats due to working in programming (and love the ISO format for all of the reasons). There’s even a wiki page with links to get into it more

Is this a thing?

It’s like learning that England wrote date MM-dd-YY at the time of America’s founding and only later switched to the European dd MM YY format later. Every little detail is governed by history

Shit, I love this stuff

I love how the mid-atlantic accent was invented for movies from whole cloth by mixing british and upper east coast accents to make something the preferred blend of "just snobby enough"
