Agreed, but it’s not just a second hand account, it may be dozens or hundreds of times rewritten by different people since some guy wrote it in the first place, with the intended meaning changed slightly each time until it’s indiscernible from the original. Not all that different from the tangents Reddit posts go off on.

I picture 100 Walmart shoppers fighting over 20 sleeping bags and air mattresses. Pure carnage.

Reply to Foxborough ≠ Boston by vvsbari
Many US stadiums use the name of the bigger well known city they were originally located in. The SF 49ers play 40 miles away in Santa Clara next to San Jose. The Dallas Cowboys play a half hour away in Arlington. The NY Giants and Jets both play in New Jersey!

Ok, then shouldn’t the acronym be MSR instead of the brand specific AR?

Can we just call them assault type weapons? AR is a brand name and there are lots of models (more than 15). There are other manufacturers also.

Reply to Young Kids, Hard Time (2011) - "When it comes to kids and punishment, the question needs to be answered: Do kids, no matter what the crime, belong in the adult prison?" [00:41:45] by MiddleUziVert
I have not watched the documentary. Sad to say but some kids commit crimes so horrible that they shouldn’t be placed in normal juvenile facilities. California used to have a prison that was designed specifically for the under 18 criminals in this category but it was converted to adults and eventually closed.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in [OC] Building permits (in housing units) per capita, by state (fix) by born_in_cyberspace
The comment was “people have been leaving in droves”. If that is true then that should balance out the natural growth from kids growing up and needing housing. Some locations in the state are very expensive, just like exclusive locations in every state, but much of the state is no more expensive than any state. We all don’t live in Malibu and Carmel.

I know that, but if so,many people are supposedly fleeing to the greener pastures of the south why are we building more houses than them?

That’s one reason. As other people have pointed out the whole map is misleading. According to it 40,500 new dwellings were built in South Carolina and 130,000 were built in California so I guess we’re not doing that bad.

Really? It seems I’m always seeing comments and statistics about how people are fleeing California for Texas. Maybe that’s why there aren’t as many houses being built. As far a NIMBYism goes the state recently passed a law allowing anyone with an existing house to be able to build a second one on the same lot or to convert their garage to an apartment and prohibits local governments from stopping it.

Wouldn’t a bracelet with an id tag like you see on dogs be better than inking your kid every time you go somewhere? For that matter, maybe getting a dog would be better option for people who are regularly losing their kids.

Reply to What Planting Trees In the Street Could Look Like in Boston: Learning From Other Cities – StreetsblogMASS by me5vvKOa84_bDkYuV2E1
The sad truth to this is the city has to adopt standards for things like parking spaces. If the tree grows bigger and the space shrinks by an inch some lawyer will successfully sue the city for every dinged bumper because the public parking space maintained by the city does not conform to their specifications.
