  1. TL;DW They have zoning but they just call it something else.

  3.  @patricialongo5746  Yup, I'm sure the representatives are all planning to retire soon because the voters hate this so much!

  4. ​ @ChillinwithLandD  David O'Reagan 10 hours ago (edited) "Amazon brings the worlds best programmers all into a single city. Seattle complains about Amazon not giving enough to the city. Leave Seattle, Amazon. Other cities will see the people and talent you bring as the real asset, not just a “cooperation” to harvest taxes from. " Is YouTube glitching, or did you make the statement above 10 hours ago?

  5.  @gert-janvanderlee5307  Why do you need it to be public if the private market can do the exact same thing and make you happy?

  6.  @swayne1441  So income tax is unethical by your own logic. They're taking the money you own.

  7.  @swayne1441  Ah I get it. We can all just live on the anarcho commune instead.

  8. Weird but OK. That leaves more wealth for other communities.

  9. Another stick is congestion tolls, which have the extra benefit of funding alternative transportation infrastructure.

  10. Does capitalism cause chaos or unjustified hierarchy?

  11. ......why? The workers would still fall victim to competing firms.

  13.  @sta292  So should the industrial neighborhood remain eternally blighted?

  15. You're missing the "more than now" at the end of your sentence. Also, this was a video about a corporation paying taxes, not a person.

  16.  @Albert-fe8jx  You're basically describing Washington state perfectly lol.

  17. They kinda do it with Uber Pool, but I doubt they'll do it on the same scale as mini busses. Their business model doesn't involve buying their own vehicles.

  18. They want to help their shareholders. You know -- their entire reason for existing.

  19. Good luck corralling hundreds of thousands of people into taking the same huge risk together. There's a reason NH never became the bastion of the libertarian party.

  20.  @squelchedotter  Why are you telling me this? Is it because you acknowledge that LA Metro loses money, but you're afraid to say it?

  21. Transit agencies are required to have something like this in areas where transit doesn't meet ADA requirements. It's a matter of nondiscrimination.

  22.  @onesob13  So you don't think that voters actually wanted to purchase things from ride share companies. You're the only person to ever tell me that referendums are less democratic than banning referendums.

  23.  @niklasmolen4753  Student loans CAN be discharged in bankruptcy. You have no idea what you're talking about. I have no idea where this rumor comes from.

  24.  @onesob13  LMAO I'm glad we've found something entirely new to talk about. You no longer contest anything I said.

  25. That's ultra expensive, and it still encourages people to drive downtown.

  26. How much do you value your time? Would you spend an extra hour on your round trip to save $20? I wouldn't.

  27. What does the HO in HOA mean? 🤔

  28. The people who can afford to move long distance and work from home full time are generally looking for a nice clean safe place to live.

  29. Potentially even the duty to leave, if it makes their Seattle-based investments less profitable than other investments their shareholders could make.

  30. Well I suppose other cities will enjoy the wealth!

  31. Why should every working class person not working or owning the Gary steel plants have to pay more for goods and services? Working people rely on affordable goods to maintain and improve their conditions.

  32.  @alexsmith-ob3lu  I'm sorry my response didn't plug into your prepared speech. I take it that you don't have an answer to my question then.

  33.  @alexsmith-ob3lu  That's completely different than what you originally said about implementing protectionist policies.

  34.  @alexsmith-ob3lu  This is blatant projection but OK. I hope you never have to deal with anyone questioning your ideology in the future.

  35.  @SilverSlayer23  Literally nobody has ever been imprisoned for not filing a Form 1040 for one year. You're just making stuff up now. I don't hear any solutions from you for how to make companies pay more in local taxes. I just hear how it makes you mad that they avoid paying avoidable taxes.

  36.  @thepedrothethethe6151  Financing is a minuscule slice of construction costs, but I guess you can claw back a tiny bit if you feel good about it.

  37. Most people don't want to be screamed at by stinky people when they are walking to the coffee shop.
