You can get a lot of mileage out of a multi-level warehouse with cots in it. Privacy isn't much of an issue, too, if residents are willing to provide their own sheets and clotheslines. Dense _and_ agile!

Worked great for Ghost Ship.

For anyone not following along, the leaseholder is facing a retrial after the last jury deadlocked. His assistant was acquitted of all charges. The owner of the building was never charged with anything at all, which absolutely isn’t due to local corruption.

Here's a blog post showing an example of the thing Strong Towns is always harping on, about the US suburban style of development being financially unsustainable: https://inlandnobody.substack.com/p/why-galesburg-has-no-money

Cool, send in lots of lions then

It’s not the eat the rich that we wanted, but it’s the eat the rich that we need.

We also need a program to put 4K 360° cameras on poles all over the neighborhood so that the rest of us can watch the carnage justice.

I cannot help but notice that article is focused on the idea of doing away with environmental impact assessments and is written by a Republican economics policy specialist formerly of the tax foundation, on a site focused on him and a libertarian f trying to find ways to phrase deregulation arguments to sound neutrally beneficial.

While I too am wary of these types of arguments, it doesn’t excuse glacial, unresponsive bureaucracy. If a project legitimately has negative environmental impacts it should be noted, and alleviation/mitigation should be required. Crucially, all of that should happen in a timely fashion and be responsive to questions from all stakeholders. Instead, we have a black hole where the developer pours in legal and engineering billable hours and gets silence. The illegitimate use of environmental law to delay projects to death for unrelated reasons (most commonly NIMBY reasons) is common, and is certainly not an intended outcome.

WSJ: Good things are actually bad

WSJ’s target market are people who collect rent or otherwise profit from high property values.

I’d be more worried if it were a real newspaper giving that kind of editorial rather than a financial rag.
