Population density isn't a rural issue, it's a fixed costs issue.

The companies are required to maintain a larger total network of towers and everyone has to pay for that, which means city users are subsidizing rural networks quite significantly.

I'm not saying the Big 3 aren't taking advantage of the situation, but they do have a legitimate issue.

I really hate this headline.

They aren't wrong 70% of the time.

The study found that they only successfully complete multi-step business tasks 30% of the time. Those tasks were made up by the researchers to simulate an office environment.

This percentage spread for different models is also absolutely massive too, with some coming in at 1% completion and others coming in over 30%.

It's the lone star state...

Too simplistic to be cynical, just naive.

Pretty naive take on how governments work.

Could just break it up into chapters or something, pretty easy to split a pdf.

You can literally just feed the images into chat gpt at this point.

While on one hand I hope that people realize this is literally their government being purchased by a single rich guy and push back... I know they're far too stupid for that.

There may be individual products that have gone down in price like for example eggs may have returned to more normal pricing from their highs, but that index tracks a standardized set of fairly normal products that people buy regularly and on average the whole shopping bill has gone up every single month.

So yes, they are delulu.

 

Unfortunately, it looks like he's going to elected in a couple years. I just hope people remember after a term of the Conservatives cutting important environmental policies like the carbon tax, that they will have failed to make like more affordable AND fucked up the environment more.

The conservative parties that won in the UK didn't manage to make things more affordable, the conservative party that won in Australia didn't manage it either, no party anywhere has managed it.

This crisis isn't caused by local government zoning policies, approval red tape, or anything else that the parties are talking about. It's caused by landowners (including people who own only one property) using a home as an investment.

You cannot have homes appreciate in value faster than inflation (investments) and also have affordable housing. It's impossible. That's literally just a pyramid scheme.

Until the government starts implementing policies that start reducing existing home prices, this will not be fixed. Building more units doesn't do this unless you build impossibly (literally impossible) large numbers.

So stop voting with your emotions and vote with your brain.

 

In case anyone was wondering what happened at the grocery stores over the last couple days.

 

I love Mattias Krantz and his wacky music projects.

 

Because reasons?

 

Somewhat clickbait title, it went from 80% to 89% of new unit starts for this one month period compared to last year.

Apartment units have been the majority of new units for more than a decade now.

 

More technical issues. The ferries are starting to become a real issue here on the island.

 

Interesting decision
