Even if they’re right, that just means I won’t be able to afford those “Miracle Medications” anyway…
Is he fondling the grunt’s junk?
I think the thing to keep in mind here is that those midrise mixed use buildings are housing, and can help the housing supply issue. The issue with them is often that wealthier neighborhoods and suburbs resist them so much that they end up being new expensive housing in the areas that were already doing the heavy lifting housing supply-wise.
Near where I live there is an estimated housing supply deficit of literally several hundred thousand units. My city, a medium city in the Metropolitan area of a big city, has built more than 50 of these buildings in the last decade, but wealthier suburbs a little farther out have gone to absurd lengths to prevent more than one or two token multi-family units from being built in them. The metro area cities, who’s inhabitants feel the rise in housing price most sharply, cannot possibly build hundreds of thousands of units, there needs to also be significant building in suburban areas nearby if we want to hit that number and move the needle on housing.
tldr: Those housing units are fine, we just need to get wealthier less densely developed suburbs to build them too. Oh and build a fucking train station there while you’re at it.

This really saddens me. I’ve lived within a few miles the coast basically my whole life and I’ve seen the floods get worse; Friends’ houses getting ruined. The river that flows by my house to the sea regularly consumes the nearest neighborhood to it now, once a year or so. Noone is moving because of it. People are moving here, in fact, and all the new houses are on stilts with first floor parking. I know it’s gonna keep getting worse, and when it finally gets bad enough, where are these people gonna move. All the “nice” towns a little further inland are entierly single-family zoned and woefully unprepared for all the people who will have to move. My town’s population is like 6 of those “nice towns”, and like half of it is gonna be underwater or so flood prone that you can’t live there. It’s gonna be really bad.
Damn. And these bitches are charging me 12 dollars a lb for ham?
Hey! It’s the part where the “centrists” betray the left and cede power to the facists! Damn. You’d think someone would write a new script or something.
