I'd be seriously surprised if terraced house approached anywhere near the density of even mid-rise residential flat blocks.
But again, I think that conversation - and that image of what a city looks like - is utterly unimaginable to brits! Not sure why, I put it down to culture clash mostly.

My most "you didn't grow up here" opinion is that entire neighborhoods of charming but inefficient and poorly maintained Victorian terrace houses should be demolished and replaced with 4-6 floors flat blocks (+ necessary parks and amenities) all over London and likely beyond.

Confiscating jewellery from survivors of a war zone makes you look like a fucking Nazi. And the obscene thing is, that is the intention. It's there to look appropriately harsh. Indecent. Filthy. A moral stain. And no-one of good character would have ever proposed such a thing in the first place.

I've long ago accepted that it's probably Perfectly Fine for people with extremely common jobs (except for enshittification, AI bots, etc - but that's a given on all social media), but it is hilarious how quickly it breaks down if you have a more niche or specialise profile.

The breadth of "You have no idea what crazy shit we've tried and shelved decades ago, youngling. Your stupid idea is both stupid and not new. Better people than you have been this stupid." in the nuclear weapons program is quite impressive.

The Five Star Movement is *not* a left-wing movement,
They claimed to be "neither left nor right", and had accreted some left-ish language on environment, nimbyism, and some economic proposals, but on most issues they would break right in the end. Also, they formed a govt with Salvini's Lega.

I think it was a tweet a few years ago that explained it all for me: modern conservatism wants an out group which the law binds but does not protect, and an in group which the law protects but does not bind.

2 million? I've seen places in london that go for that amount and are half as big and not even a millionth as beautiful.

You are very kind, Marty - I agree it's black magic, and I'm no wizard!
Your answer to @cherylrofer.bsky.social seems right-sounds like the thermal/visual double flash. The (simplistic) one I have for seismic is that nuclear explosions are sudden while earthquakes show a ramp-up of sorts.

Obvious answer to that is that not everybody can demand to see identification documents; again, these are very simple things that other countries have figured out aaaages ago.

With address registered on ID, 2nd factor wouldn't add anything.
I had a landlord who cheated credit card companies by creating fake tenants and providing their fake contracts as proof of address (it was, somehow, not his most repulsive trait). System's bad.
