Pretty much every Iroquois, Algonquin, and any other eastern / mid Atlantic tribe was transient, it was the South American natives that had built anything close to what we could describe as a city. The largest native city north of Mexico was in Illinois and had practically collapsed more than 400 years before Columbus ever even saw the American coast from his ships. Literally not a single white European settler or colonist came to America to “work in the bustling Native American cities” as you seem to think, because those cities did not exist.
Please do yourself a favor and try to figure out why you did not know this.

Always cracks me up when liberal/progressives end up advocating for slavery
>”we need illegals to do illegal labor (that also harms unions) in unregulated labor markets where they can be treated illegally because they’re not able to obtain help through the system and the employers know that.”
Illegal immigrant manual labor is the closest thing to slavery that we still have

Going to an untamed new world (literally the New World) where no functioning infrastructure/jobs/cities/towns/roads exist, where you an almost 0% chance of dying by old age, is no economic immigration. It was conquest (for better or for worse, and in the traditional sense of the word).
Also a poem written in 1883 and added to the statue in the 1900s is not how immigration policy work. The poem means literally nothing from a legislative view.
Your take is so historically illiterate that it’s genuinely sad. Please read a book. https://www.loc.gov/classroom-materials/united-states-history-primary-source-timeline/colonial-settlement-1600-1763/

On what grounds? They’re not Texas citizens, and they’re not legally the responsibility of Texas. Even if they were Texas citizens, they’d still not be the legal burden of that state. Tell me on what grounds.

How is this not mass illegal immigration
They are immigrating into the country, illegally, in mass.

​
With $5000 a month per bed (far higher than average NY rent), the shelters are almost certainly nicer, or were at one point, than sleeping in a tent in a parking lot. The nature of addiction, mental illness, and desperation made the shelters far worse than they were when they were built.
The solution for this is a strike system with the final strike being institutionalization. It is not fair to shelter-residents who want to put their lives back together to also have to fare against criminally insane, chemically-addicted thieves and assaulters.

Many other homeless people avoid shelters because they are not able to freely use drugs and alcohol while residing there. Both are true.

It was like 2010 to 2014. Which also coincides with the exact time I was a strapping young lad with a far higher risk appetite and a not-all-the-way-developed prefrontal cortex. Surely the two can’t be related.

Unironically yes. If people want to pay $65 a month for a bunk in a hostel then that is ok for them to do so. This wouldn’t prevent other types of housing from being built. Luckily I am not at a place in my life where I need what you described, but I could absolutely use a dormitory-style room myself.

There is none. This is good.
Ideally, we would go even further and allow zoning changes to include dormitory-style or hostel-style apartments, for people that really don’t need their own private kitchen or bathroom. This type of apartment is being built all over major college campuses like UGA, but they’re excluded here because they don’t meet the minimum requirement to constitute a “bedroom” that can legally be listed. Before anyone gets mad and calls this tenement housing, I DO NOT THINK it should use the same advertising/lettering as a normal bedroom. I’m just saying that it should not be disallowed. When I was 18-22 this was fine. And it would have been fine for 22-25 for me, if it were legal to find.
Additionally DC should end tiered height limits. Currently, it works like this:
- Residential: 90 feet
- Commercial: 130 feet
- Pennsylvania Avenue: 160 feet
This should be changed to make the limit for everything 160 feet. I want more height but we do not need to scrap the rule completely.

I would argue that it could be sustainable for maybe six months if he used only Acela and time spent on the train counted as time in-person.
So 3.5 hours to the NY office, 30 minutes face time with the boss, 3.5 hours back to DC, boom, one full work day.

I agree that a significant portion of the energy of the 2020 ones came from disquiet over the lockdowns, even if people denied it since it wasn’t the ostensible reason for them.

Yes, people only find the energy to write a paragraph on an Internet forum if things are excessively good or excessively bad. For every post here complaining, imagine 100,000 posts that read “had a normal day with no weird incidents. Took a shit. Watched reruns of Friends. Fell asleep.”
