Because its a limitation of personal property rights and freedom. Why can't I as a property owner turn my single family home into a ground level cafe/bakery with 4 units above if I have the capital? It's a government overstep that limits our supply, artificially increasing demand and cost, and gets in the way of entrepreneurship. Having relative freedom over property usage was only something recently taken away in the last 80 or so years due to racist white flight to the suburbs.

While populations hasn't tripled in the last 5 or so years, we are experiencing growth pains that investors and speculators are taking advantage of limited supply, and relying on the fact we will have limited supply for some time to come as long as the zoning stays as the status quo.

It's primarily the municipalities as this is a supply and demand issue, they have the power to end single family exclusionary zoning, incentivize and fast-track new developments to start gently densifying into missing middle townhouses and multiplexes, but don't because they worry about losing the vote from older generation NIMBY'S. So a lot of cities and towns are waiting for the province or feds to do that for them so they don't have to take the blame.

What the province and feds can work on the cities really can't is funding more public housing/co-op's which is also desperately needed. But as soon as we start creating more supply the cost and demand will go down.

since 1966? Are you both lifetime pals now?

Those metal edges can be very sharp on PC cases, I hope the kitty was ok

I think the main thing that makes its nice is it federates with both Lemmy and Mastodon under one interface. While Lemmy can post to Mastodon instances and vice versa, it's not a part of the Interface really, you have to manually copy URLs

why is it better than roundcube?

AFAIK you can use the Brave browser on iOS to listen to background youtube with it's built in AdBlock

I noticed ads slipping through Ublock Today D:

Cheap careless mass produced screen printing crap. I miss the days when objects in our day-to-day lives have thought and Care put into them. I guess that's incompatible with low cost though

Underpowered is probably the reason, they're small and really low powered. A pi could be a 1/10th the power consumption of an x86 computer, and thus less noise and heat.

I really do strongly believe that the rise and dependence on automobiles has single-handedly done some of the most damage to society through social isolation, health through pollution and lack of exercise, and the environment through paving over everything and forcing combustion everywhere.

It's time to start rebuilding local communities to be more self dependent where neighbors hang out, garden, and support their locally run business.

We need this community on Lemmy

Was that plan scrapped from what I can tell? https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-60418555 Is there still risk of the right of way paths being fenced up/privatized fully?

That's in a different state.... Unlikely related

It's just a bad savings account at that point.

The pixel also doesn't have a headphone jack, so the fairphone is still better in that it has an ethical supply chain, and much more user repairable

It would allow anyone to spin up their own self hosted instance that shares collected coupon codes with other instances

That would be cool if there was an open source federated alternative to Honey for coupon codes
