Philly, transit and land use, frequent flyer, sports, cute dogs
No really related but I called the imaginary friend being Vecna the first time he was mentioned. Not a super huge plot twist.

Also, I wouldn't exactly call Altoona a small town. I can't find how many sworn officers it has but the city has 43,000 people with over 115,000 in the rest of Blair County. It's not New York but PA has a number of counties with fewer people than Altoona.

There is nothing to say to people who look at a displacement trend driven by cultural preferences, and think they can downzone their way to preservation. You can't prevent elderly Asians from moving out or dying, and you can't prevent non-Asians from moving into old units thanks to fair housing!

Without the ass kissing, this is true of every meeting to ever exist.

Useless platitudes dragging out meetings is a thing that drives me absolutely crazy. Unless one employee is killing it so hard that the entire group needs to know about it, save the praise for the annual performance review

I knew the song but as another poster said, I always thought they were saying "Diane" not "Dyin". Knowing that, it sounds like the singer telling someone else the fate of everyone he was living with in a flop house.

Reading the lyrics I would also assume this song is about heroin addiction.

And I think you need to understand this stuff not because it necessarily makes you a better advocate but for the sake of your own sanity.

Our whole current system is this scene from SpongeBob but with people
a group of spongebob characters are standing next to each other with the caption " we should take bikini bottom and push it somewhere else "

I almost feel like people think "no homelessness" is one of the services they are paying for when they live in the suburbs. Something similar to having your street plowed or your leaves picked up.

The nitty gritty of ADA compliance and NFPA 130 are the two biggest ones that come to mind.
