| This is a natural consequence of Capitalism. Also, San Jose did not grow out of a suburb, it was a farming town dozens of miles away from Stanford; I can remember when there were still orchards there in the very late 20th century, not much more than twenty years ago. Oh I didn't know that, my dad g... |

| Suburbs shouldn't be growing hugely, they're a disaster that require huge government subsidies to maintain and led to sedentary, car-dependant lifestyles. As the video says, we should be focusing on dense, walkable, mixed-use communities and LOTS of housing. Building houses in the middle of nowhere... |

| It's fundamentally a mistake to make this a "liberal" or a "Democrat" thing. The issue is NIMBYs, who cut across political lines. Of course, in cities they're going to be disproportionately Democrat - every city is disproportionately Democrat. Phil Hardberger, who the video cred... |

| Oh wait. That’s not real and doesn’t happen - it’s just an anxiety tale told by the NRA to anxious Americans to get them to buy guns & ammo to ease the anxieties they train into them. A but like the ol’ “If tire business is slow, throw some nails in the road,” sort of guerrilla marketing. The N... |

| It's actually a big deal that Cleopatra is black. There's a huge group of people out there who want to reframe Egyptians as black so that Africa as a whole looks better historically since not much technical innovation has come out of there. I think this is silly. Egypt belongs to the Mediterranean a... |

Exactly, they should be embarrassed of the wealth inequality in big liberal cities.
But increasing taxes just chases away the big earners who pay most of the city's services anyways, leaving behind a smaller pool of people to tax, and more homeless to take care of. |

| Guns are the last line of defense against tyranny. If the state decides to threaten your life with their guns, you can protect yourself with your guns. To remove all guns would essentially give the state free reign to be as violent and oppressive as it wants. Gun control is a short-sighted solution... |

| Guns don't make people violent. The problem with mass shootings or daily shootings is a cultural one. If you took all the guns in America and dumped it into Scandinavia or Japan and South Korea, you wouldn't have mass shootings and daily gun violence in big urban cities. I agree, the culture is a b... |

What could the US gain from Canada other than natural resources?
I'd rather have Mexico but it would be better as a low-cost business alternative to China if Mexico were to stay independent. |

| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcZhmUfDePE Maybe we should be looking for new solutions and experimentations rather than a one-size fits all solution to homelessness and the housing crisis. The Democrats are not willing to experiment and try new things, maybe we should HUD funds to states to find ... |

| For those of you who are religious, as I am, what do you tell yourself to help understand why God would let you have a disability like Asperger's that messes up your life so much? Curious as to better things I can do to help myself understand this and not feel like it is some sort of punishment. Of... |

| The only way America is likely to fix this solution is by addressing it on a constitutional level. And that ain't gonna happen. Until the ammosexuals give up their special interest America will continue to have daily mass shootings. Your founding fathers did this to you, even if they had the best o... |

| The atheist world is a world bereft of magic or gods, the atheist has no surprises. An phenomenon that is strange is reduced to the mundane. Santa Claus is nonexistent, there is no mystery or childish intrigue. It might be bereft of magic in a supernatural sense, but the world is still magical to t... |
