"Last tuesday, he died "after a struggle with a **sudden**, fast-spreading infection . . . after two weeks in critical condition."
Sudden Pneumonia with MRSA (bacterial infection) which also happens to be extremely drug-resistant.
Not suspicious at all.😬
ALU, which brought the case to the NLRB, celebrated the ruling. “It sends a clear message that attempts to dissuade workers from exercising their right to organize and bargain collectively will not be tolerated,” the union’s attorney, Seth Goldstein finance.yahoo.com/news/amazon-ce…
@MarkFos32617741 The LVT in Vancouver, BC has not forced rents down or ended homelessness, it's just increased provincial revenues.
Since they're not spending it on social services, who is actually benefiting?
@MarkFos32617741 Both parts need to be fought.
1. Developers should not have the power to privately hijack and control community development to make money.
2. Wealthy people should be taxed.
Two things can be true at the same time.
@yhdistyminen@PippengerHarlo So the argument you're making that isn't supported by this evidence is that there are wealthier people living in *affordable housing* in poorer neighborhoods, and when they see luxury housing for sale in a wealthier neighborhood, they'll move. Right?
@yhdistyminen Honestly not sure what this graph is supposed to show.
My point is that the concept of filtering and the studies used don’t really add anything beyond the commonly discussed “new housing has a marginal impact on moderating rents”
@yhdistyminen No this is exactly my point, there are “units in low income areas” but are these units “affordable”? What if people are just highly rent burdened?
@yhdistyminen In the sense that it effects the city’s overall supply probably but sometimes filtering is portrayed as like “creating low income units” and I don’t think it really does that
@dsfence64@fuelgrannie@AllIsFreeForMe@QuietOurStreets@Pest174 And??? We still have more housing per capita now than at any point in history- & the highest residential zoning in the country. Your poor little rich developers are never going to build us into a 20% vacancy rate dude. There’s literally no incentive.
@RivasAD@dsfence64@fuelgrannie@AllIsFreeForMe@QuietOurStreets@Pest174 OK- NYC already boasts the highest residential zoning in the entire country & only 9% of its land is SFH zoning, & we've been at the high end of a construction boom (nationwide) for nearly a decade- so... it looks like the YIMBYism isn't giving us low rents man.
@fuelgrannie@UpzonedHimbo@AllIsFreeForMe@QuietOurStreets@Pest174 They can't seem to understand (or don't want to) that NYC isn't Austin and that nearly ALL of the core has density. It's a different situation than building brand new apartments on scrubland on the outskirts of Austin.
