'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Lee, how does your mother get the science so wrong?
You've seen what she does with genetics, right?
I didn't, in the end, tell her to STFU, but I did ask her if she realized it sounded like she was blaming me for the cancer, and I haven't heard anything from her since, so I guess it had the same effect.
Oh, and it looks like Zorro is coming to live with us on Saturday. [link]
Congratulations! He is adorable.
Good god, y'all, we SO need universal health care.
Has anyone done the study on the millions of dollars of lost US productivity from wrestling with insurers? I bet someone has.
Zorro is very cute, Lee!
Zorro! You should totally get him a cape.
I think I will be getting him a new name first.
>The classic American small town with a main street filled with houses within walking or biking distance of stores is also outlawed.
What do you mean, outlawed? There are a million small towns like this on the East Coast, at least up here in the Northeast.
I should have said outlawed building new ones. If they already exist, they are allowed to stay, but it is quite literally illegal in most areas to build new neighborhoods like the ones in those - usually even in those towns. That is take one of those million small towns. if a developer wants to build a new tract, the developer can't build it on the same pattern as the existing town. If it is residential it probably, under local law, has to have more parking than existing parts of town, has to place the new house further back from the sidewalk than in existing neighborhoods, probably can't mix residential and shopping the way they are in existing neighborhoods, in most cases has to be much lower density than existing neighborhoods. Existing towns like that were not outlawed, but building new ones, or new neighborhoods like the existing neigborhoods - in most suburbs and small towns that is quite literally illegal. If a developer wanted to be responsible and build a development that is liveable in the same way existing neighborhoods are, that developer is not allowed.
