ryuker16··on Nobody has a personality anymore: we are products with labels
Your leaving out that people with mental and even physical issues often were outcasts for revealing them to their family, friends, and community in the past.

Some of that supoort wasnt present.

Double blind testing has been done on this so none of what your essay is saying has not been tested or studied.

Putting adhd or depressed people in a paradise situation does not make them not adhd or depressed.

Ive lived in a few different countries. Societies that dont label or believe in psychology just outcast the mentally ill as weirdos and encourage them to drink away their troubles.

I was diagnosed adhd well before mobile phones. Also, mri scans show adhd so yes, it is a prefrontal cortex deficiency.

Let me give you some old man advice. Untreated adhd feels sutble to the person but its not subtle to everyone around you. You think your calm but come off like a zany, pacing autistic person or incredibly anxious. Alcohol and drugs can make you even more spazzy or impulsive.

Dont believe me? Go ask friends and coworkers how you come off. Your going to be shocked, trust me.

Every adhd person i met who told me what you just said was a spazzy mess or incredibly rigid/disciplined/control freak to counter act the adhd.

They were rarely away how much of a spazz we come off as even with treatment.

ryuker16··on Rising Rents Are Pushing More Tenants Past the Breaking Point
Naw, take a look at nashville which was expanding insanely fast in population. Rent rose 25% in a low CoL city.

They had a housing shortage for the past few years and removed a lot of restrictions. Recently they actually overbuilt despite a shortage of skilled construction workers.

You can build hella fast when the demand is there and the government wants buildings fast. We're talking skyscrapers in 12-14 months.

You really think in a rebellion they would allow them to legally sell guns in mass quantities?

None of them are cheap...just cheaper
ryuker16··on Saving San Francisco goes deeper than “build more housing”
When I looked into moving to New York, I saw similar rents and figured something was up.

Are these sub $2k places across from a public housing complex, rat infested, or just scam listings that magically have a new price once you call>?

ryuker16··on Saving San Francisco goes deeper than “build more housing”
Chicago is decent.

A big factor in the USA that we only have a few major cities with a built up core like New York.

We have many major cities built like LA or Houston where it's spread out and makes public transport less of a priority.

ryuker16··on Rise of the Creative Class Worked a Little Too Well
We had that for frontend for many years

It's called Adobe Muse.

Demand is still high as ever.

But most of those small arms suck.

In Vietnam and Afghanistan they had weapons being sent to them including stuff like artillery and mortars.

A bunch of militia with store bought guns(many pistols or hunting rifles) doesn't really compare to guys supplied with full automatics and RPGs.

I moved.... Plus the hotels caught up as did the housing shortage.

2 massive hotels went up downtown and another third is coming online soon.

Sank my new years and March madness profits.... It was a good run.

Man, I hear this argument all the time about airline service.

I've tried many airlines for work...service is fine. If your expecting 1950s level service you can pay 1950s pricing for business class.

It's restrictive zoning laws. Home and property owners have a zeal for politics unmatched when it comes to keeping values up.

The movement away from cities had a lot of reasons that have been solved(jobs came back, riots, red lining, less pollution, less crime) so I'd say the cultural shift was justified to return.

Commuting sucks too.

ryuker16··on Peter Thiel: Silicon Valley’s monopoly on big growth tech companies is over
We have a lot of excess housing stock from the rust belt days and can build a lot more towers(not sitting on fault lines).

I work in tech here and I suspect it's becuase our early heavy hitters feel from grace: Motorola, Groupon, etc.

Imagine if Motorola was first to have a major smart phone get popular like the razr instead of Apple.

Seatlle has amazon and microsoft.....chicago has nothing comparable I think.

Funny, I had an airbnb(I hosted) in nashville's downtown that made that rate look dirt cheap.

Reason?

Outdated zoning laws and hotels were slow to catch up with the tourist industry.

It was crazy watching my nearby competitors(the major hotels) adjust prices like the stock market.....

$1800 a night for the last suite at the sheraton up from $250-500 normally. Bonoroo and Country Music festival held the same week is what I called "Second christmas".

In this case doctors were pushing drugs on patients....for some folks, you can't choose not to be addicted after taking it for a length of time.

I meant compared to San Francisco and New York.

Then again, canadian salaries are lower and exchange rates are a factor.

The old expensive housing becomes the new affordable housing. Trickle down real estate works assuming the old real estate isn't destroyed.
ryuker16··on Rising Rents Are Pushing More Tenants Past the Breaking Point
The issue with rising rents is zoning laws.

Since investors can't as easily build new housing, they invest in existing ones as speculation.

If the demand is there, the skies should be filled with construction cranes and new tech investment in building cheaper, faster, etc.

Instead we slap protectionism on it so everybody fights over a smaller piece of the real estate pie.

ryuker16··on Rising Rents Are Pushing More Tenants Past the Breaking Point
The zoning laws keep it that way.

In a truly fair market, the new tech class buys newer, larger homes or apartments while the hair dresser buys their old starter home or bachelor pad.
