I think it applies well to a number of affluent urban areas in the US.
There’s a ton of info out there that says it better than I can but the consensus is the vegan diet is the biggest thing you can do. “A vegan diet is probably the single biggest way to reduce your impact on planet Earth,…
I don’t see a reason to be sad because I think it’s a wonderful thing more people have a choice now. Whether I end up making perfect decisions or not I wouldn’t trade anything for that.
Why not just raise your kids with a low eco footprint? The whole argument is silly to me. If you want to find the best action you and your children can do about climate change - it’s going vegan.
In relation to NIMBYism the effects are the same
This has been happening for many years, at least in the bay area
If you’re talking about Silicon Valley that was converted from fruit groves to sprawl and a job center then how was that the result of density? In terms of density it’s not much different to many areas. The focusing is…
And then what when everything has become skyscrapers? I think it’s perfectly ok that not everyplace wants this end result.
Focusing jobs in one area reduces competition among landlords while fostering multiple job centers with amenities encourages competition including price competition
I feel like Uber can always make money as a marketplace - but competitive pressures from other marketplaces will drive profits down. However, is there any further growth in the model? Seemingly no unless they gain…
You can think of rent control as a long term lease. It seems that population is generally also NIMBY.

Yes devaluing currency is much less painful. But it creates risk for traders which the monetary union removes. Removing that risk may not be a great idea since one region is bound by a different political structure that…
If the developer from Nebraska plans to go back home after a period of time working in CA, they may be more likely to be content with lower salaries though. I wonder where these talented people in the EU plan to raise…
California doesn’t exactly pay for Montana... they do pay for some federal services for which everyone has voted for. In theory though poor management can cause a state to default on its debt.
Though I’m not impressed by much of modern architecture... I guess it comes down to personal taste for some.
It’s tied to your job because health ins through your employer gets an effective tax discount compared to that bought through the ACA market. There is no way for latter to be as economical.
You can look at a map by precinct of what percentage of people voted for Hilary Clinton and you will see that some of the highest percentages were the most wealthy areas in CA:…
That’s not too telling. Introducing skyscrapers would mean units would be priced far less than single family homes are - which would enable large portions of people to enter the market who are locked out right now. But…
I think its horrible - its far too early to make that decision for your child. I think its something a person should make for themselves. "Expensive dental work" could mean only a few teeth impacted - the rest may be…
More businesses and types of work rely on illegal labor who are willing to live in working conditions legals often aren't.
Anyone concerned about the impact on the environment in and around the city / increase in traffic / strain on limited water resources / etc.
Homeowners homes become more valuable if developers know they could tear it down and build many more units on it.
Housing prices don’t necessarily go down if a place increases in density. It depends on the location. Take a look at 5th ave in Manhattan - as large single family homes were being replaced by skyscrapers, the value of…
Creating more density would greatly impact nature though. Having grown up not too far from Manhattan I can attest that for the most part the nature has been bulldozed over and polluted. SF is not so extreme and many…
