The purpose of American zoning is to make housing more expensive.
It does that by outlawing inexpensive homes like apartments on the overwhelming majority of residential land, which is reserved exclusively for the most expensive kind of housing: detached single family homes.

If city council/planners actually planned for affordability, they’d ban mansions, not apartments. They’d have lot size maximums, not lot size minimums. They’d have higher fees per sq ft of mansion, not apartments. They’d charge the rich in mansions more, not everyone else in apartments.

"Housing must be a right, not a business." imagine if someone said this about food and then their policy program a) food prices should all be set very low and b) it should be illegal to build new farms.
Doesn’t seem like Barcelona is even close to understanding that the only way out of its housing crisis is allowing a lot more market-rate housing, which, given the density of the city, would inevitably involve regional greenfield development and intense infill www.nytimes.com/2025/03/30/b...
Can Barcelona Solve One of the Toughest Housing Crises in Europe?
The Spanish city’s woes mirror a broader affordable-housing crunch spreading rapidly across Europe and driving inequality.

Greenland, if you could forcibly grab our VP and send him to a militarized gulag without any due process that would be superb. Thanks.

Casually noticing that ppl (kids) in my area are very into Solo Leveling bcuz it’s the only series in the long list of new graphic novels on the library catalog to consistently have more holds than available copies. I’ve read the web comic up to like chapter ~50 and I do understand why ppl enjoy it.

a hyperfixation on self-driving and electric cars as THE transportation method of the future is ultimately a way of changing as little as possible about the negative effects of a car-dependent, sprawling, polluting society while simultaneously being able to claim great progress and environmentalism
Teslas don't use any of the fancy stuff other self-driving cars do. They just like, use a couple cameras and hope for the best?
Well, it turns out that's fine, because humans (the thing self driving is explicitly trying to replace) don't either.

Trump's executive order tonight has illegally cancelled union contracts for 67% of the federal workforce & 75% of unionized federal employees — roughly 700,000 union workers
This may be the single biggest attack on the labor movement in American history
