Commuter cycling is only an option for a small subset of well off workers and its advocates routinely treat their hobby as if it were the answer to poverty and climate change. Mass transit is the answer, not more bike lanes for sweaty software engineers on $3000 road bikes.

Every justification for Israel's campaign in Gaza I hear or read, I append "...and that's why its okay to kill those children." Collateral damage, human shields, acceptable losses, urban combat. All are a maze of euphemism. Assert reality. War kills children.

A deep dive into the Broadway Plan. "Tenants have inevitably felt the stress and uncertainty of the proposed demolition and redevelopment of their homes. I am one of those tenants. I have lived in my apartment at 25 E 12th for 13 years..." themainlander.com/2024/03/16/bro…

Come for the article, stay for the comments where people repeat their prayers to 'supply and demand', the only economic principle they understand.

An opinion columnist, a discredited psychologist and a recovery centre that harboured a sexual predator have successfully allied with the conservative party of Canada to get thousands of drug users killed in order to gain public funding and a free labour force.

Corporate landlords looked at mining and said: maybe we can do this with low-income people. An endless supply of rental income that they can mine and mine and mine.

HBO should fund my idea for a limited miniseries of 'Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep' that in no way resembles Blade Runner and features Deckard as he is in the book, a despised loser and slave catcher. You want a tax write off, I'll give you a tax write off.

An often overlooked reason to support public housing and co-ops and is that money is power in our society. By funneling so much wealth towards landlords we increase the power of the most useless people in the social strata. That just seems destructive to our social fabric.

As the rent gets higher more and more people are pushed into homelessness with difficult odds of getting out of it. And all of this just to make sure that landlords can extract maximum profit.
