Riders like attention/people watching them that’s why the never ending calls to set up a track for them are dumb

Unless you could set up stands and get people to watch but even then maybe at best

Heavily regulated housing with huge subsidies obviously ain’t.

Way less homeless existed in the US before they outlawed SROs and rooming houses and flop houses and a million other dignified housing options. And now, as the article states, the government is actively harming the housing market making it so it is far more expensive for the vast majority of people. All around failure.

i'm team #fuck12 but even Courtland Milloy quotes Jack Evens noting we are getting almost nothing for our 5.5billion dollar welfare budget (to say nothing of terrible education outcomes despite another 2.5b a yr going to that...) https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2023/02/14/juvenile-crime-parents-dc/
