I feel like at least two of those aren’t a voting issue as much as a scumbag-candidate issue.
I wish they’d be more careful. A child died, here, after all, and another child is going to jail for his murder which seems like a huge perversion of justice. They’d at least take 4 seconds and write the proper goddamned word. Show some respect for the craft of journalism!
I would accept if VPWalz is completely mum on Gaza. We know the alternative is worse, and we don’t want that single issue to get out there and allow cons to confuse voters.
Even if pressed, I hope he says something generic about caring for people’s safety, without saying whom, and deals with it after we still have democracy.
People forget the alternative in this binary choice is super bad on that issue too, and can be easily swayed once it’s out there.
Stick to the image for now, keep mum on the topics that’ll enrage the belligerent invaders, and see if we can get the borders defined in Palestine’s NATO bid. (I expect it will match the border iz had defined decades ago)
I just came up with a thought the other day! This would be a decades long approach and I have no idea if it would work. The idea is for generic American cities, that have a few sky scrapers in a downtown and then the burbs.
I should add:
- transit costs are expensive. Build them in at the start
- look at the “15-min city” concept.
- look at “mixed-use (high-density) residential”
I live in an area of mixed-use high-density and it’s done really well: I use the train for everything thats not immediately close-by, all my daily stuff is within a block or two, I’ve rarely driven in 5 years, and while I know the 30-storey buildings above the shops are 97% occupied, I really don’t notice the neighbours.
It’s segregated, rez and biz, but I showed my neighbor how to cope. Now her commute with her kids to daycare is 1 elevator, switch at P4 to the other elevator stack because they both come out in the same room, go back up to the daycare at G to drop the kids off, and walk out to the mètro. Her kids’ commutes are dry, warm and safe, and they’re safely away before she leaves the building.
