  1. Considering that the birth rate for the US is well below replacement rate, the real growth is from migration. Maybe Bibb should declare Cleveland a sanctuary city so Governor Abbott will ship a couple hundred thousand to Cleveland.
  2. I’m sure these finance bros will stick around to help Florida when the costs of mitigating sea level rise come due.
  3. Not sure which thread my question belong in, so let me know if this belongs somewhere else. Does anyone know of any Cleveland specific events schedule for the 4/8/24 eclipse? I was thinking of driving up from Columbus and wondered whether anything special was planned on Public Square, Edgewater or University Circle.
  4. So, 200 Public Square becomes Dollar General Tower then?
  5. It seems that people living downtown will have the real advantage. They can work for employers downtown or easily commute to any suburb. By contrast, suburbanites are more isolated to their side of town. Crossing from east to west or vice versa would mean crossing the whole metro.

    If you think the love child of Sid Vicious, Eminem and Beethoven sounds good, check out Ren.
  7. Your lips to God’s ear.
  8. Came across this editorial regarding this topic. Thought I’d share. P.S. a passenger rail link from Cincinnati to Atlanta would be awesome
  9. Maybe it could be a free for all like guns? JJK
  10. Why am I not convinced this is a good investment? This reeks of desperation and reminds me of Lordstown Motors.
  11. I feel like misinformation is running rampant these day and there needs to be a way to hold liars accountable. The voting machine lawsuits should be a template. Isn’t killing a whale a crime? If so, falsely accusing someone of killing a whale should also be a crime.
  12. Should replace the asphalt with brick. That would slow folks down.

    Same for columbus. I don’t like to run when it’s above 90 and haven’t missed any runs this summer:)
  14. Numbeo is a site that ranks countries and cities based on quality of life and cost of living. Columbus has always ranked highly even globally. Recently, Cleveland has popped up the rankings based on excellent healthcare and local purchasing power. https://www.numbeo.com/quality-of-life/compare_cities.jsp?country1=United+States&country2=United+States&city1=Cleveland%2C+OH&city2=Columbus%2C+OH&tracking=getDispatchComparison

    Totally agree that moderate density with mixed uses should be the ideal. I’ll probably get shot, but I prefer this to the desire for tall towers. It’s one of the reasons most of the world seems so much better designed than the US.
  16. I think I went to high school with Marquee Ribbon. Nice dude.

    Based on reviews of their cars, I’d short that stock. They are not ready for prime time
  18. Is it also possible Cliffs would rename the new combined organization and move into USS’s HQ in Pittsburgh? Don’t they have a trophy building there?
  19. Something seems off with these numbers. NYC is the most visited US city and they report just 10 million. Columbus is nice but not 5x NYC nice. What am I missing? https://www.worldatlas.com/cities/america-s-10-most-visited-cities.html
  20. I really think that Cleveland’s head start converting office to residential really saved it. I keep seeing videos a deserted downtown San Francisco that was too office dependent when the pandemic hit. Now those areas are largely abandoned and may not be too attractive for conversion.
  21. Something I don’t think people consider about work from home is that it is much easier to eliminate positions when you hardly know the people in the jobs. Sometimes it is the personal relationships that save your ass during a restructuring
  22. Looks like the Cleveland market is #2 in the nation according to Case Shiller. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/07/25/sp-case-shiller-may-2023-home-prices-continue-to-climb.html?qsearchterm=case

    I was thinking we should get female allies to dress as if they were drag queens. It would really confuse things and make a mockery of these stupid laws.

    Just wrapping up reading Fire Weather by John Vaillant. Excellent read about a major fire in Ft. McMurray Canada and how climate change is affecting us all more generally.

    I feel like I'm living in last days of Weimar Germany. Please change my mind.
