Everything Urban

My unedited conclusion to this podcast. 

Unedited. So long as I get credit you may have this idea. Hire me as well.

Unedited. Cities need to make homes for people of all career backgrounds.

Unedited. What happens when several generations in a row don't learn basic economics in school? Regulations in opposition to Airbnb.

Unedited. Railyards in cities? C'mon already, get a divorce lawyer.

Unedited. Kids raised in cities are more resilient, independent, happier, and more empowered then kids raised elsewhere, at least according to me.

Unedited. I cannot even think of a defense of suburbs. They are just across the board bad.

Unedited. Can we please stop dictating minimum housing standards that the poor cannot afford?

Unedited. Amenities in apartment buildings are awesome on many levels.

Unedited. Having been on all sides of this fight, I have come down strongly in favor of renting.

Unedited. Sorry supply and demand skeptics but empty apartments are the friend of renters that we should aim towards not punish.

Unedited. Historic districts are stupid, period, end of story. 

Unedited. Free enterprise is what allows such an awesome diversity of experience in cities including food choices. We should embrace capitalism not run from it.

Unedited. America is going broke from trying to sustain suburbs. Let's stop. If they can't stand on their own without subsidies then they should not exist. 

Unedited. Getting from point A to Point B is important but the hegomony of the car fulfilling that task is what makes America broke, unhealthy, and unhappy. So let's stop bending at the knee to automobiles. 

Unedited. Camping does not have to look the way it does in America with large SUVs, boxes of camping gear and poor sleep. Here is a better model with a free of charge rant about tent camping. 

Unedited. Big houses are compensating for small imaginations. They are lazy and depressing. 

Unedited. Sunlight is nice but not a right guaranteed in the Constitution. 

Unedited. The unpleasent sounds of cities come from suburbs, lets regulate that. Cities should be for city lovers not car lovers.

Unedited. Tenant Right Groups tend to represent asthetic justice, making people feel good about change but lack any evidence of actually helping renters more broadly, and more often then not harm renters.
