These numbers can’t be used to make the assessment you’re making. You need to know the relative proportion of pedestrians vs. drivers. If there are 10x pedestrians then the 6% increase would be far more people. Also, pedestrians and drivers don’t spend money in the same proportions or ways.

I’m guessing there is data on small business activity we could look at, although you would need to compare to neighboring districts to account for a cooling economy.

Abolish the LAPD.

How about neither.

Well, you’re denying people certain basic freedoms based on who their parents were. Not all countries provide citizenship based on ancestry, and this means that denying birthright citizenship can lead to statelessness, which is very dangerous for those people. So for them, it is a requirement for a basic and normal life free from state violence.

Which we don’t currently have…

A nation isn’t a community, at least not in any real, human sense. We barely even know many of our neighbors, let alone those across the country.

The fact that it’s common doesn’t make it right. All of these policies were adopted following the rise of race science, fascism, nationalism, etc. It’s surprising people haven’t started to push back on them more yet.

The shortage is so severe that any housing helps, though it’s certainly not the most efficient way to go about it.

And he’s just one of many sent there, most are still experiencing this.

The way the lake is depicted in the third panel is intended to impart more of a fearful energy I think. So it’s probably the latter.

Why should descent be required?

Lesser evil voting is fully rational in the system we have. You don’t have to like it. You can fight to change it. But that’s just a fact.

 
 

Already posted an article on this last month but it fascinates me and I thought this was a good overview :)

 

I seriously encourage anyone to think about doing this. Navigating the bureaucracy can be annoying but the chances of success are much higher than guerilla planting. I’ve seen lots of hard work get mowed down by uncaring city employees, so getting them on board ahead of time is worth the effort.
