Mostly Alexandria gossip, snark, and bitching about HUD stupidity.

Housing prices are set by supply and demand. Housing is distributed according to people’s ability to pay. If we don’t allow new development at the high end of the market, rich people will outbid the poor for the best available existing housing. Building and operating homes costs money.

Now, I'm all for requiring just cause for lease non-renewals but it would bring me no end of joy if property management gave my noisy asshole neighbor sixty day notice to remove their ass from the property (and learn some common courtesy while they're at it).

I have found another one of the limited use cases for AI: summarizing product reviews when there are 100+ of them. I mean, I like it when products have lots of reviews, but I only have so much time to wade through them.

I am extremely annoyed. I wanted dinner at Mia's but they weren't serving outside and they wouldn't let me get the prix fixee menu to go. The only option was the crowded bar area, which is le nope for me. Hopefully something near the Mall will be open

I heard someone’s Starbucks order called out as “Grande Chai Latte” and realized they were just telling “Big Tea Milk” in like, three different languages.

I really hate the thing where City departments are asked to cut budgets and then ACPS rocks up twenty minutes late with Starbucks and expects their over-budget funding request to be approved.
After ACPS 10-year plan comes in $54M over budget, subcommittee pushes for cuts

With less than a month until its adoption, city officials are pushing Alexandria City Public Schools leaders to make further cuts to the district's 10-year Capital Improvements Program, stressing budget...

Just dropped this elsewhere, so boosting, since the illegal-orders discussion is back in the news: there's some great GI Rights Hotline postcards and leaflets for printing and distributing, but here's one with the absolute basic message and phone number as a label template.
I've seen a bunch of people sharing leaflet and postcard-sized versions of the GI Rights Hotline info, but I haven't seen any templates designed for label printing, so 30 seconds with the Avery template maker made the simplest possible version with the absolute basics (to be seen from a distance).
