i honestly think instagram caused me mental health issues.

it warped my brain and caused me immense anxiety. i have had it deleted for almost a week now, and i feel so much better. the algorithm really fucks with your head. how is this legal?

they are very protective of their government designated living zones and government designated grocery zones.

the crushing weight of losing something you took for granted but was actually the life blood holding you together is quite unbearable

so far really love living in capitol hill. the housing is incredibly diverse here. a wonderful mixture of apartment buildings, stacked flats, row homes, town homes, single family homes, etc.

good vibes. just a few too many rushing cars at some hours lol

imo we really need to start pressing on not just residential upzoning, but rezoning to allow for shops/cafes in neighborhoods. traffic is already a problem because people all have to driving to monolithic shopping zones. we need those zones IN our neighborhoods to eliminate trips.

really getting tired of seeing “the problem is affordability” in response to wanting more homes.

housing feels like an uphill battle on a 90 degree incline

you can kill someone with you car while speeding and sleep in your own bed at night.

but swerve on a bike?

deeply unserious country. i feel like im in the matrix where the masters are the corpos who sell us medicine for diseases they cause.

Someone I know took this video today. They said that the kid was riding a CitiBike while swerving. The cops stopped him and then jumped him.

Full-on police abuse.

I can't believe i watched a podcast "debate" where the LA coucnilwoman's opening point was:

"don't legalize housing its offensive :((("

I think many people genuinely think community outreach is left-wing (participatory democracy and all that) even when what the community wants is substantively right-wing.

i feel like getting rid of parking mandates on the basis that parking is a disgusting use of land in a beautiful place like hawaii should be strong enough for most 😅 do people actually want to keep them?

found a reddit account who has 4 years of shilling for the Boring Company’s vegas loop lol.

nearly every post was saying how the peak capacity during CES was a feat so great it puts city’s LRT systems to shame.

bot? probably

lmfao love this analogy. i always giggle when i see the out of towners in SF scurry across the road and bow to the ford super duty they “held up” for half a second

is there a word for the online phenomena where people read opinions from completely separate groups, but since those groups intersect on some other topics, they think it’s the same group?

oh this is smart. i’ve always wondered what policy could be implemented to deal with waste producers
