It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

its a bit weird that we need to build way more houses than physically necessary otherwise people will die on the streets

The issue is the areas people are moving to don't have enough supply generally. Yeah there's a lot of vacant homes but a lot of them are in like, Bumfuck Nebraska. Thing is there actually is a lot of affordable housing in the US, it's just far away from all the job and infrastructure, that's why a culture of "super commuters" who drive like two hours to an office in LA to work exists now, and why during the pandemic a bunch of workers who went remote decided to go buy houses in West Virginia and Idaho.

no shinkansen from mcmansion suburb concentration in inhospitable desert to actual workplaces

well, theres your problem

lmao so technically the problemo is because american urban planners (best in world) built all the houses over 9000~~km~~ miles from where the economy functions, fucking genius. Therefore, it is an issue of building more homes... but closer to urban centers. Where I live, there is a lot of property development (suburbification) going on... but its in the areas 2+ hours from the city center. We truly are america's 51st state.
