a lot of stuff also isn't just the location but also the government and how States Rights a given place is. like as much as i love to poo poo on las vegas, nevada gives us legal weed and my driver's license gender marker is an x, and those are both things that are iirc not available in a majority of other states

Might not matter in The Big One, but the risk is nothing like that of building on sand at sea level in a hurricane-prone area. See all of japan

I've lived in worse places than the great lakes region. The South comes to mind, specifically. At least the chuds in the north can enunciate.

I've also lived in both regions and do 100% agree, but 2/10 southern US doesn't, unfortunately, curve the great lakes grade. Especially with the God damned mayflies

Oh yeah, totally get it. Great lakes ain't that bad though. 4/10 is still better than the midwest, the great sea of corn and soy. Nothing is really topping Colorado for me, though. I daydream about Alaska or Montana, but this place is my high water mark. The only way it could be more perfect is if we got enough rain to not have to worry about forest fires. Also if all the texans left. That's going to vary person to person though. I'm sure there are people who love the South for all its humidity and hatred. It is beautiful, but the stink of humanity has tarnished it too thoroughly for me to move back.

shame on an IGA posted:Louisville KY based on private logistics companies all being very upfront about why they put all their infrastructure there. IMO from experience elsewhere that has ceased to be the case and everyone needs to be analyzing whether their own personal area of control can withstand a Harvey-level rain event. And same for logistics centering in Salt Lake City in the west, shame that the state is basically anti-fun.

lol what a sanctimonious clown you are. How many people do you think live in these flood prone areas that don't have the financial security to up and leave? How many people do you think were displaced by Hurricane Katrina who were never able to see their homes or communities again? The idea that this discussion is as cut and dry as gun ownership and school shootings is exclusively a product of your lack of perspective to these issues. Not to mention that the individuals suffering the burden of climate change in this instance are doing so as a result of how the ENTIRE planet lives, not just their communities. Suggesting that we start by loving over the people who are dealing with the consequences of how society at large operates. You want to point to people who live in communities that have been affected by climate change like they decided on these circumstances and chose that course of action. It is natural to want to discuss how these events and changes effect society. It makes you sound like an rear end in a top hat when you do it in a callous and uninformed manner.

If someone offered me a green card and a solid salary to move to Seattle I'd do it. Vancouver is lovely but wages are crap and there's no way in hell I can even think about living in any of the main cities with how little I make comparatively. Vancouver: All the good and bad of Seattle but with effectively half the pay between low wages and a currency that isn't worth poo poo all.

While I was busy looking up previous failures to pass similar bills, it looks like CA finally passed legislation making a mass transit exception which is really awesome news, if not a touch too late. I'm sure there's some reason it'll be awful since I haven't read the text; I'm just happy Californians other than San Franciscoans are finally willing to accept: "what if not everyone had to drive everywhere all the time?" Good work California!

Having the border in between definitely sucks. Vancouver, Seattle, and Portland seem to have much more in common with each other than either of them do with the rest of their respective countries. That's just my perception from visiting Vancouver anyway. This part of North America feels really isolated from the rest of the populous parts of the continent, almost like an Alaska Lite.

I’ve got a NEXUS Trusted Traveler card and have for over a decade so I can realistically pop down to Seattle for a weekend whenever I like and it’s just like visiting an alternate reality version of my home. It’s one of the only other places I’d want to move to for work. At this rate though I’m just going to hope for enough of a raise to move to Burnaby or Vancouver proper next year. I live in a nice apartment but it’s in the fuckin sticks and despite my oldest friends living out here as well I am tired as hell of there being no social scene around me and feeling like I’m going to die alone because of it.

I'd like to move to the PNW but I have no clue where and it feels like the entire area has become ridiculously expensive (probably because everyone else would also like to move to the PNW). My apartment's lease isn't up until April but that doesn't mean I can't panic about it now

Defenestrategy posted:This guy gets it. I was blessed to spend two summers working at a research station surrounded by national forest in one of the remote sky islands and it remains one of the most beautiful and biodiverse places I've ever seen. The fauna you would encounter on a day to day basis was just astounding -- premium birdwatching and herping. I won't even name it because I don't want you or anyone else to go there, but trust me, there are a couple nice spots in AZ. North Rim and the Kaibab are really great, in summer at least.

While I was busy looking up previous failures to pass similar bills, it looks like CA finally passed legislation making a mass transit exception which is really awesome news, if not a touch too late. I'm all for the densification especially if you can prevent the corruption in the building process (and for material shortchanging) and stonewalling from the NIMBY's. Looks like California is fairly straight-forward for air-rights as well which helps simplify things. However this wraps around to building right on a fault line, the same kind of issue as building in a reclaimed swamp or drainage basin, which is what kicked the topic off. The hubris of man not just selecting a disaster prone location, but doubling down and intensifying development as an affront to nature. TheWeedNumber posted:Dear White People, Heritage.
