Instead of listening to bluegrass and driving S-10s like real country folk do. Of course they don't know that because they are posers.

Maybe everybody will move back to Portsmouth if they get their way...

Decades of Maury, Jerry Springer and Dr. Phil didn't make having kids look cool to young people either. Made it look like it would be 100% drama.

When the top income tax rates were much higher people with money hired people to do everything for them in order to get their taxes down. My dad and grandma hired people to do so much for them around the farms in the '50s and '60s that when that phenomenon went away they didn't know how to do much themselves, didn't buy any equipment to do things themselves and therefore the farm got stuck in the '60s. I'm not talking about the farming itself -- rather taking care of the place. They got rid of the livestock, sold several farms, disabled all the plumbing and electrical in the barns and closed everything up. They got so used to labor incentives that they were still hiring a few people to do things that 95 percent of Americans handle themselves afterward.

I suppose an El would be cheaper than a tunnel.

Yeah my friends from Salem, Lisbon etc. say Palis"stein".

All true, but they were still too scared to finance speculative SFH after 2016 when we finally got through the glut of SFH from the early-mid 2000s. So now we are way behind on SFH since they would only fund multifamily rentals (which almost all filled within one year of completion) from 2009-2020 and SFH that already existed or was pre-sold before construction. Had they funded spec SFH in those years we would certainly have even more sprawl. This affects commercial as well since if enough SFH goes up commercial follows.

They're such tropes. It's boring.

Trust funders get to fill that childless hole with another vacation to Ibiza where they trip balls while listening to the song "People from Ibiza"

Remember being congratulated when citing a source less than three years old?

I'd argue trust funders weren't the kind to have a bunch of kids anyway -- not since 1980 or so at least. It was the people that made today's 60-150K that did. You take those people out, pay them 25-30K and make them work nights and weekends and there go the kids. And blue-collar cops, nurses, tradies and military are still having them since they won't bottom out.

They don't write because they don't read.

If these people want to whine they can create an economy where people aren't stuck working in warehouses and pouring coffee during that critical late 20s period which makes or breaks people's careers. That's why they only got kids out of military families. The military isn't going to just drop people and make them hit rock bottom at that critical age like the private sector does.

Few people give men crap for this already. Except their folks.

This site is colossal.

Anything heavily subsidized will be overconsumed.

You can tell Linden, Lockbourne Road and the parts of West Side acted as suburbs until busing happened. Dairy bars, pools, Pizza Huts that were only open 8 years, elementary schools added onto 3 times in the '60s.

'50s sprawl wasn't really that bad. It's the successive rounds that came and went with economic cycles that put people 15 minutes by car from buying anything but maybe milk beer and cigarettes. The '50s were still mainly focused on the city.

And how expensive it is to dig up all the stumps and roots plus get rid of the wyes. Even if you get good money for the timber.

That is a part of what DEPA is saying. The free market was at work. People who really want to would still be able to.

Government does something Rs like = it was the people Government does something they don't like = it was the government

The diner smells good too. Haven't been in yet. Hopefully that coffee shop that was planned for the old Little Italy space goes through.

Large cars are still sold. They exist. They were not regulated out of existence. Trucks and SUVs sell because the skilled trades pay so much and have plentiful openings as compared to super selective office jobs. Large cars make you look rich and people don't want that anymore. An Accord is now a large car and easily gets 32mpg. I drive one 4X a week. But Accords mostly sell to seniors and Democrats not Boomers. And the target market for almost all vehicles is Boomers.

Were those politicians voted in specifically for that task? Was their platform "Nyah, vote for me in '48 see? I'm gonna get folks outta tenement housing and out in these clean suburbs, see? And we're gonna make it affordable, see?" or was it "Nyah, I'm gonna get ya taxes down, see?" We don't have the kind of sophisticated polling for old elections that we do for more recent ones.
