Someone tried to get a proposal read at Summer Games Done Quick. It didn't get read and ventured into BWM.

That was BWM right from the very start and only got worse. How does watching a bunch of speedrunners make you realize the importance of seizing the day?

I get the feeling that everyone seems to want apartment skyscraper hellscapes in every HCOL area just so we can cram more people in there who don’t want to be too far from work? I dunno, when I think of beautiful cities that I’d want to live in (edit), I think of Paris (which, I thought limited building heights) and not Hong Kong or NYC with manmade canyons that get no sunlight. I’m happy pissing on rich people’s parades, but building up, up, UP doesn’t appeal to me. I’d much prefer living in the suburbs and fixing the lovely transportation options to the city.

San Francisco built to the density of Paris would hold 3x as many people.

If Paris isn't building up then explain La Defense Also San Francisco will never build up up up even if the NIMBYism dies since the city is built on top of rubble

I was approved for multi-leg options and I'm getting frisky, also--I'm a complete retard. I'll take the probation for self-posting, anyone have recommendations for not putting myself in the poorhouse until the heat death of the universe?

Basically Paris has a ton of apartments, they just don't look like what people think of apartments as looking like because they were built before Hitler took his joyride down Champs-Élysées.

Most US urban cores are not too different from European cities. Where it breaks down is that a typical US city quickly turns from skyscrapers to single family homes as you move away from the center, while European cities tend to have a lot more apartment blocks throughout. And suburban areas especially tend to sprawl instead of clustering around cores that can effectively support transit.

Phanatic posted:Density makes public transportation work really well. Population density of Tokyo is something like 15 times higher then the bay area, traffic's better, not 15 times worse. Public transportation works in Tokyo because it has one of the best and most extensive subway systems in the world built after the war reduced the city to ashes not because population density forced everyone to drive less. That model isn't going to work in San Francisco.

The 7th Arrondissement had a population density of 258,820 per square mile in 1846. That, and few other nearby districts were probably what the original poster meant when he said he loved how Paris looked. While you could build new housing like that, it is rarely done, since just building up skyscrapers is more profitable.

It would be stupid to build Tokyo-level transit across the whole bay area as it stands, the population density in most cities and neighborhoods doesn't warrant it, not to mention other regulations hostile to land use (like lack of mixed-use zoning). edit: and this is collectively BWM because car dominance is expensive as hell, both for the government and for residents Cicero fucked around with this message at 09:13 on Jun 28, 2018 |

Boys hosed. And yeah going negative on bank accounts or getting flagged will get you blacklisted. In the US once you get on the chex system the banks use it can be near impossible to get off it depending on how you got there.

The subway system here was started well before the war, and although you're technically right in that a lot of it was built after the war, that's not the reason it's so extensive, and it's called a subway because it's underground, dude. Tunnels don't care whether it's ashes or arcologies up above. Look elsewhere for "can't do it here" excuses

Now, to be fair it's one circle and a slight shadow behind it with the other circle. I'm sure there are people who would love high density developments and a lack of parking. But it's a small number.

Krispy Wafer posted:Now, to be fair it's one circle and a slight shadow behind it with the other circle. True on that specific parking regulation - but I was speaking more generally about regs that the uninformed don't necessarily see as NIMBY-ism, like permeable land requirements, onerous stormwater management or traffic engineering study requirements, and a laundry list of others.

Well to be fair it would likely be far easier to construct a subway underneath a city that is completely being rebuilt rather than an active one.

Uhm yes, paying almost double the cost of something is usually a really bad idea; especially when that thing you're buying is an asset that will lose a huge chunk of its value right away. How can you look at those numbers and not say "nope"???

Last year I went WWOFing and met a couple who had quit their high powered consulting jobs to do hippie poo poo while traveling the world. Now they need money to meet a scam artist guru who is associated with the book The Secret. Apparently he is also associated with MLMs.  They only need $19,000 guys.  Apparently the travel funds aren't that big of an issue. The event is $15k. Despite having exclusive jobs, I'm not surprised they are falling for this. They spent a bunch of time with the farm owner about how humans must have evolved under the influence of aliens because the Sumerian tablets say so, guys.

So it's yet one more "another country" personalfinance post and in this case they didn't even bother to mention that. My guess is Australia. I don't know how much that changes things on what that car should cost or what auto loan rates should be.
