  • I’m not really sure why both first name and city are required but I hate oversimplified mobile designs. Whenever a web page loads everything into a big rounded edge middle column I do a little angry exhale.

    I’m an adult with a mouse and keyboard, I don’t need giant baby buttons and you can load more than two rows of something at a time ffs.






  • a certain class absolutely benefits from that – the current owners of property

    But that only holds true if they’re maximizing profit by keeping housing unavailable, because they can also profit off of the office spaces. But if the office spaces become unprofitable and unmaintainable, then their best choices are to either convert or sell, otherwise they are losing out on money. They can’t force people to buy, lease, or rent their offices.

    We are talking about greedy people. They’re not going to intentionally lose money to make your life harder. What this system does is make money for the owners, your suffering is merely a side effect.









  • Because absolutely nobody benefits off of it. Property owners lose profit as buildings go unused and become dilapidated. The government gains nothing. Potential buyers lose an opportunity. Who wins?

    I can understand the feeling when it seems like the whole system is acting against our interests, and sometimes it really is, but the intentions of regulations are not to reduce housing availability unless regulators somehow benefit from it.
