I use Lithium on my Android. It scrolls.

Bold of you to assume that the chair is a component of the computer. Not wrong, just bold.

True. Although I was refering more to the allocation of commodities (food, land) than of services

I think money should be invested into investigating ways to retrofit the current urban sprawl neigborhoods to make them higher density.

I think the EU could easily be far more leftist if that’s who won in the national + EP elections. I think its constitutional design is relatively apolitical

This is genuinely cool. I love that they managed to do it within the framework of democracy too.

I see. Yeah, I live across the border in Czechia and the way you did it used to be standard too until 5-10 years ago. Then the prices started rising (especially here in Prague) and it started to be a problem. It used to all be state owned obvs (not sure about einfamillienhauses though) but it was sold to the residents after 1990, and our levels of municipal housing haven’t risen much since then either. I don’t think we had the housing cooperative movement that you guys had in the interwar period.

Now that is something this sign would still be good at

I second this person’s advice

Primary Residence: Hosts can only list their primary residence—the home where they live for at least six months of the year—as a short-term rental. Registration: A mandatory registration process with the city includes obtaining a Home-sharing permit and paying an annual $89 fee. Hosts must renew this permit and provide evidence of continuous compliance. Annual Cap: Short-term rentals are subject to a 120-day annual cap.

Actually, this is impressive. LA seems to have it’s shit together on this issue. Do you know if house prices are still a problem there?

I definitely do fear something like that happening. Still, how would you explain the 30 years under capitalism when it was working fine? Why didn’t the capitalists swoop in in year 1 (or 15)?

Agreed

only allow renting out the primary residence on AirBnB.

Yes this sounds like a good (and importantly very simple) rule

That is certainly a good point

Lol. At least a step in the right direction I guess. They should make it decrease by 100 each year

Agreed. We are sorely missing an honest and reliable source of news about China.

Enjoy ;-)

So do most people here in Czechia. We have had capitalism for 35 years and for the first 30 house prices were stable and affordable (with no large municipal sector). Something has happened within the last 5 years and I’d like to know if it’s the same cause as in the other countries and how it can be reversed.

Trailer parks have the same problem as suburbs of being super low density. They should stack the trailers on top of each other to save space.

Edit: ok I guess what I’m suggesting are those builders’ prefabs

Ooh I watched this when it was released. So essentially vast municipal ownership. Definitely something I can get behind but it takes decades.

You make a very important point about life which I realized recently: that things are not necessarily better/worse, just ‘different’.
