Narrator - “it wasnt”

I mean they kinda are, but those areas just miss out on tax dollars of larger scale developments. I’d rather see more support and for lower cost housing that doesn’t get flipped immediately into airbnbs. Stronger regulations that temper this current market of turning housing into a commodity where speculative reality businesses are out bidding home owners. That goes for single family and multifamily. U can build a huge priced right housing development but if all the units just turn into air bnb or rented out by shitty land lords, then we have solved nothing

It’s actually an instance of super small government. Those regulations are dictated by city’s and counties not by states

My gmaws wall of VHS tapes ripped from every movie she ever rented from a blockbuster would beg to differ

This man exploded 3 seconds later, those are gas lines

It looks so bad, but I know it’s soooo good

Yeah, also Samsung made it work in the S active phones, and Nokia has started carrying the torch with their XR line. That’s Def not the reason for them being removed.

Don’t need a high score to be a bullet sponge in the army.

I was gunna comment that this man might have strayed a bit far from his main quest line, but he signed off on that post as “Center Star” so I think it’s safe to say he’s right on track.

This chaps my ass almost as much as the beefy 5 layer burrito

That price held untill atleast 2012, that’s a solid 5 dollars of increase in just over 10 years. I could totally be talking out my ass

Chin cramp gang rise up. U remain the unicorn of the armpit cramp, that sounds agonizing, sorry for ur loss.

It is an anicdote that is in direct contrast to the OP message

That’s a square tip plug. It could be a gas line, but ur not getting the drier hooked up to that thing.

So I think it’s more like if u got a papermache piñata from some one that just so happened to be made of child porn and then u fucked that… Yeah seems unethical to me

I agree, most of the problem is people putting rental civics where they shouldnt be. A subie with a lift is enough to get u through mosy of national park 4w only roads. It’s usually driver error that gets u stuck. Garuntee most people they pull out never had any kind of gear to get themselves out.

That said, it Def helps to roll with some one who does have 4w incase u get a little head strong.

It’s honestly more of a clearence issue, but either way it is most definitely a driver issue. If u aren’t skilled it doesn’t matter what ur driving, I’ve seen idiots in rental Jeeps with foot plus clearence high center on obstacles that aren’t really that challenging

I’m pretty early on into my career and am honestly still trying to navigate this myself, but after over a decade I’d say I’d agree with what clover said somewhere else in the thread, u just have to advocate any way you can. Depending on the client, that might be using the economic angle, or the environmental angle. Some people only see dollar signs and don’t care the most of Canada is on fire and there’s no wining, but in trying you may sway the people below them that might be in decision making roles in the future.

Idk, like just try I guess :)

I agree, it is a good way to get the owners asking for levels of environmentalism that might be out of their expertise, I just wish it had more teeth.

I’d say the majority of architects are more than willing but there are contrarians. LEED does provide an avenue for Architects to get involved but its not without his issues LEED is an interesting program that has its issues. For example there are a lot of credit swap opportunities in LEED that allow u to bypass some of the other requirements that would be more impactful. The core tennents of what LEED is trying to achieve is great, it just doesn’t seem to be rather effective where it counts, production builders that are supplying the majority of housing. These developers stray away from LEED certification due to the extra cost, it takes alot of extra documentation to go for LEED. Documentation that would not be neccissary even if you would choose to build a building that is equal or better than a LEED building. I view the program similarly to Target turning their logo rainbow, low investment for big businesses looking to posture.
