Apartments take a few months to build. There are standard designs they build over an over again in different locations. I realize CA has earthquakes and maybe cannot take a design from Ohio (though I wouldn’t be surprised if they could), but there should be plenty of designs that meet codes. If they cannot build thousands of apartments in a year the problem isn’t the time it is they are doing something to make it not possible to build that fast.
Building should be by right - no need to ask the neighbors for permission or get a review (for a standard design that doesn’t do anything unusual), just half hour to get the permit and then a few routine inspections along the way.

@librewolf@lemmy.ml @jameshowell@emacs.ch your donations to mozilla do not go to firefox. They go to other causes which you may or may not agree with but if your goal is a web browser you have no donation options.
You fail to realize how badithe rest of us have it. I wish for your problems. Not that you are wrong and shouldn’t be mad, but you still have it good.
There are lots of reasons trains would be better, but they come down to capacity and if you are building something dedicated tracks are similar price for more capacity. Brisbane has proven that done well the bus works very well and you don’t need trains until you need high capacity.
America is stretched out, but that mostly referred to Alaska and everything west of the Mississippi and a narrow line of the Pacific ocean. Stick to east of the Mississippi or within 50 miles of the Pacific ocean and you find Americans are dense enough for good transit. However nobody builds good transit, and we are not dense enough to put up with bad transit.
My installer was certified. It was installed right and works well - until the temperature gets to 25F and it just isn’t large enough to keep up. This is a sales problem and a larger unit would be more expensive so they didn’t offer it to me.
Will HVAC installers be trained on them, or will they continue to size them for AC load and as a result install systems that are unable to heat below 25F (-5C). The heat pump itself of course can provide heat down to -20F/-25C but it cannot provide enough heat for the climate and so you spend most of the year using the backup heating system (or your house is dangerously cold)
Targeted layoffs are tricky to pull off. You can be sued for wrongful dismissal and then you need to show you were not targeting that person by anything other than random. You can easially lay off everyone on a project. Anything where you select individuals is risky if they can somehow argue you choose them because of some status (minority or whatever - even white male is not a status you can dismiss someone on) . Don’t get me wrong, companies lay off part of a department all the time - but they would prefer to not do that.
Even if someone quits from a department you don’t want to lose people from, you can just transfer an employee from a different department that didn’t lose enough people. So this is good enough and someone who quits cannot sue.
Also if someone quits they cannot collect unemployment. Generally governments track how often a company lays off employees and charges higher unemployment rates to those who lay off more people so getting people to quit saves you here too.
generally it isn’t enforced
Most countries tell you to renounce after you gain the new so it isn’t a problem. A few allos dual citizenhip. (maybe most allow dual? I seem to recall that but it is outside where I’m sure)
The market does tend to overreact so this is possible a sign to buy low. I can’t be bothered to check the fundamenals but it seems unlikely that amd is a better investment long term. If you are not looking at least 5 years to the future stocks are a bad idea.
i can’t wait for the day content is there. I always look there first but too often I can’t find anything close to what I want.
Because the customer and user are not the same people and insurance is keeping the costomer happy. High prices mean I cannot afford to quit my job or retire early. I have to have a job to have any form of insurance at all. It is great for the hr department that buys my insurance. In theory I can buy my own on the market but that means the thousand dollars a month my employer is paying gets thrown away.
Old cars are much less. A good driving record makes a big difference. I fear the day when my kids are old enough to drive.
At least you can get out.
inflation is a thing and so all unlimited time fixed price contracts are suspect.
kbin/mbin is another alternative. I have no idea how the moderation tools are, but it is open source.

ai has been doing that trick since the 1950s. There have been a lot of use coming out of ai, but it has never been called ai once successful and never lived up to the early hype. some in the know about all those previous ones were surprised by the hype and not surprised about where it has gone, while others pushed the hype.
The details have changed but nothing else.
Nobody today is not coming to my house. However the world has not always changed in ways I like. If the media companies want to make an example of somebody they might randomly pick me. If I have physical media they will not be able to convince the general public I’m a dishonest thief and so even though I might be legally in the wrong for ripping DVDs they will stay away: they are going to look for someone who they can make look like a dishonest thief in the court of public opinion. They are not looking to take me to court and win whatever damaged they are owned from my activity (it will cost them about 100 times as much $$$ in lawyers fees - they would probably win but it isn’t worth it), what they would be looking for is to make an example in the news about how much someone loses and if I have physical media they instead look like jerks for enforcing a law on something that the generally public wouldn’t even call a crime.
They refers to the people of the county in question - which is where those NIMBYs live and thus those who are not trying.
