it’s 3:30 on the west coast and i’m debating bed time.

it’s crazy because other countries have been doing meaty chips for years. i love going to to asian grocery and grabbing the tastiest fried chicken or shrimp cocktail lays. like chip brands can do better.

people would also clip the mics to silly objects to hold as well, like pencils or hair brushes or potted plants. i think the point is some level of ridiculousness.

it’s always been adversarial and all about punching down and the performer vs everyone else. and that’s the medium and that’s why it sucks.

and get this, the didn’t pay for it with TIF districts, tax credits, they paid for land and construction by taxing the rich with taxes on luxury goods and champagne. today they pay for all their housing with a 1% income tax (.5% from a worker contribution and .5% employer)

they actually solved a housing crisis similar to the one we are experiencing. instead of overdoses ppl were dying of tb. and they solved it by improving tenant protections and housing regulations so people actually wanted to live inside and the city also built a shit load of social housing.

they have a whole housing framework that focuses on stable and accessible housing, conflict resolution, rent assistance, and strong tenant protections. its housing first.

hi! i organized the vienna trip. yes, vienna has a shelter system but majority of the shelters are only open during the winter months. vienna has a much smaller homeless population because they have highly regulated rents and abundant housing. their philosophy is housing comes first.

i was expecting at least 50 people based on all of the praises in the testimony

dogs will just lunge at you indiscriminately in this city, doesn’t matter the housing status of their owners.
