I’m the guy on the left. I taught English as a foreign language. I’m from Virginia.I lived in China. I lived in South Korea. YIMBY. Urbanist. Learning stuff is fun.
what does "winning" look like? even if Dems win congress and presidency, it will take decades to repair the damage that has been done, and i have no confidence Dems have the spine to accomplish very much of anything. No green new deal. No medicare for all. A continuation of mass shootings.

How very American! This country doesn't care about people if they can't make money off of them, and that is proven over and over again. Who is going to create a public square people can spend time in free of charge?

I'll believe Americans can produce urban spaces like this when they produce urban spaces like this. Until then, I am not going to get my hopes up.

People in the market to own a home are not the people most at risk of homelessness. Renters are more at risk of homelessness. The increase in the price of rent contributes to homelessness more than the increase in the price of homes for sale.

If "homes" include apartments, then building more homes absolutley helps to decrease homelessness.
