Seattle Loosen Downtown Zoning Regulations

Jump

  • More housing supply is always a good thing (unless you're a wealthy NIMBY or a useful idiot). Restrictive zoning regulations are one of the many reasons why there's such a housing shortage in the USA.

  • Considering the rate at which the Ruble is dropping in value, sanctions are definitely having an impact. Keep up the good work!

  • Some US states do not have Good Samaritan laws. This means that you could save someone's life, they could sue you, and they could win. It's pretty fucked up.

    • Anti-affirmative action group, emboldened by US Supreme Court, targets scholarships

    Jump

  • Affirmative action helps certain races and hurts certain races. It makes it harder for Asian kids to get into good schools simply because of their race. It's racist to think that every Asian kid had a good upbringing and rich parents. Affirmative action is (well-intentioned) racism that will not fix systemic racism and it alienates people that probably encountered certain degrees of racism and hardship themself.

    Looking at metrics like net worth would be a much more intelligent path forward. Rich kids don't need help getting into school, poor kids do. It doesn't matter if those poor kids are Asian, black, white, or whatever. Look at money, not skin color. It's not that hard to treat people equally regardless of their skin color.

  • I'd rather use a more important metric like net worth to determine whether or not someone needs help. It doesn't matter what color your skin is if you have money.

    Instead stupid people will use racist ideologies like "It's okay to make it harder for asians to get into schools, because they all had good upbringings!" No, not all asians are smart or had good upbringings. And yes it's racist/wrong of you to imply they did.

  • Agreed. Though, that compensation should not come from everyone, but rather from the rich assholes who profited.

  • Assuming all Asian people or all white people had the same opportunities, money, and privilege is racist. Creating affirmative action that blindly looks only at skin color is racist. We should be looking at better metrics like family net worth. If you have money, you can literally get into any school you want regardless of skin color.
