Why do we call him Turnbull? The guy has no balls. We should call him Turnsteer instead.

She's obviously talking about Russia's interest's on the globabl geo-political scale, not domestically. Also lol @ trying to paint Putin as an aggressor re: Ukraine/Crimea when the US and NATO have been steadily chipping away at Russia's sphere of influence and isolating.

Am I to understand that you're absolutely okay with the USA's actions in South America over the past few decades? After all its thier sphere of influence... Goddamn socialists had it coming!

I was thinking about this while walking to work in Saint Petersburg. If we want to fix housing affordability, commuting and etc, we need to have medium/high density apartment blocks around metro stations, and also within the city and not on the fringes. Like, I don't want there to be nothing but the apartment blocks, but the Metro system is a public good and should be serving the maximum amount of people possible within walking distance. If you want to have your backyard block and a car, well you'll have to live some distance from a metro station.

But good loving luck acquiring the land, defeating the NIMBYs and getting people to support public transport.

Oh and I forgot the biggest thing is that this would need to destroy the housing "market" too which would be electoral suicide, so :rip:


Housing as an investment is the dumbest thing.
