Notorious b.s.d. posted:* The Atlantic used to be a very prestigious monthly magazine, but it got bought by some dotcom idiots in the 2000s and they fired the staff in order to "pivot to the web" The Atlantic is one of the few print magazines that’s seen an increase in subscribers over the last decade and they still put out very good work (i.e. their repatriations article). The web content isn’t as good, but I don’t think it’s meant to be. There’s a difference between monthly content and daily. I think the magazine has done a good job of surviving, which isn’t easy today.

Demanda sounds like the name of an artificial sweetener so it all makes sense, really.

I know we're pretty down on crypto here, but I think a new altcoin backed by the US government could really fix some of the major problems with existing coins. Maybe they could even manufacture physical tokens representing certain amounts of currency so people don't have to deal with shady exchanges. And since it's been shown that tether can

A lot of crypto "investors" do seem to rediscover the benefits of centralization whenever a new crisis hits, so I guess I can't rule out the possibility of someone genuinely wanting a government cryptocurrency for some reason

It's a real proposal by a real elected official in the US who read about Venezuala's crypto attempt and stopped after the first paragraph of the first story on it. In general, I am mildly curious at what point cognitive dissonance totally kicks in with government sponsored altcoins.

Owner/Developer buys a 1200sqft historical house in San Fran, gets planning permission to extensively remodel it. Decides instead to demolish the whole thing, so he can build a new 4000sqft house on the plot. Retroactively applies for permission to demolish. Committee decides to make an example out of this guy, and orders him to rebuild the house exactly as it was before. https://outline.com/aasLq6

Reading the article it seems like this was somewhat rampant and this developer just happened to draw the short straw (wasn't well enough connected / didn't grease the right palms ) on enforcement action. I feel like if you wanted to really crack down on this the fine would be fixed at the spread between purchase price and sale price. Or this same punishment, as a way of getting a free code upgrade out of a developer who doesn't pull the right permits. I wish developers had to take out a bond that was tied to their specific performance of the building plans they were approved for. No more crying that they're only going to make 150k/condo instead of their planned 250k/condo (net profit) so they just stop work halfway through. If you don't meet your deadlines the city takes your bond. They should be super cheap to obtain so long as developers don't force cities to cash them out.

Scrapping zoning, rent control, parking requirements, HOAs and the mortgage interest deduction should all go under -1 since that's pretty much what deregulation/free market mean.
