I've called American politics a death cult before, but this beggars understanding. They are gorging themselves on misery for no reason but a love of human pain and annihilation.

You are not entitled to a fixed and unchanging neighborhood character.
Cities are not museums. Neighborhoods change. We desperately need housing, and we can't let voices like these derail needed development.

we have a president with a tenuous grip on small legislative majorities who is out of the gate with a flurry of dramatically unpopular orders and who has just demonstrated his weakness on the international stage. if i were an elected member of his domestic opposition, i might try to draw real blood.
