  1. Oh so perhaps the numbers are based on how many family members are already present in said city. I didn't think of that.

    Jeez that bridge is high. I'm sure I've driven underneath it but you sometimes don't get a good sense of height while driving. I'd be getting dizzy if not have to turn back. Probably have to walk in the middle.
  3. Getting tons of warehouse will make him look good when he inevitably moves on to Dallas or Huston or something. He doesn't need rail transit to do that.
  4. Some of these people get warehouse on the brain and only think about that all day since the numbers are big.
  5. I think there's a lot of people that think tower, grass, tower, grass, tower, grass is acceptable but real urbanism isn't.
  6. ^Speaking of "whatever happened tos", it's MTS!
  7. I've never felt you were going to naturally get good urbanism at this intersection due to the design of the roads. You would have to force it with a large scale planned development of all four corners at the same time or else you're just going to get more car stuff.
  8. Yeah I feel like I missed something.

    "We now interrupt Rush for Rush..."

    ^You don't need to have highly promoted misinformation to have those things.

    This band encapsulated everything I hated about the early 2000s. Then and now.

    Yes, making sure if you have it than you have to fund Fox News just like cable.

    Manipulative liars are the worst.

    It's 85 percent disengaged people that are only on there because everyone else is (not clicking a single ad ever) and 15% clicking WalMart ads like mad and misinforming each other all day every day.

    Imagine if UO prioritized and promoted its worst users and posts rather than its best.
  16. Electric cars have regenerative braking which takes load off of the wheel brakes for many types of stops. Though the extra weight does indeed affect stops that have little regenerative braking (which are few). Also when the battery is over 90% regenerative braking gets turned off by the computer.
  17. It did look like a mini-megachurch in the New South before.
  18. Point of information: Hummer is now an electric-only brand.
  19. Everybody wants to be in the furniture business. Notice how furniture stores keep opening when nearly every other store concept is stagnant or shrinking. Buying furniture on the internet totally sucks unless it's custom maybe. It's one of those things people had to learn the hard way. The pandemic hurt minimalism big time too. Once people had to be home without Netflix on they figured out their dwelling was boring.
  20. It was kind of shocking to see Big Lots abandon places like the South Side and Lancaster in the 2010s. I suppose that's how you knew they were in shrink mode. Ollie's slipped in to those areas during their absence.
  21. Only if you look at them as 100% direct competitors.
  22. ^The infamous Chuck E. Cheese operating as Pasqually's during lockdown phenomenon. Of course that was still in their own facilities though. People were like "When did we get a new pizza place in town?"
  23. Good explanation. I didn't really think about them being "incubators" as much.
