Honestly sounds like a lot of mahi for not a lot of result. Calling people “parasites” is also unlikely to win you many friends.

Daily drive a 9500 on latest Fedora. Only thing that doesn’t work is the fingerprint scanner and honestly I don’t care in the slightest.

If the owner knows the value of the land is just gonna keep going up with no additional effort on their part, why spend the money to build anything on it? May as well just sit on it with the eventual promise of a fat untaxed capital gain. This is how land banking works.

People need to be punished because it’s been over ten years and as I look out my office window right now I can see two derelict decaying buildings and two enormous empty gravel lots. You’re really happy for our central city to remain half-finished indefinitely? It’s a national embarrassment that we haven’t managed to rebuild the city yet.

It’s not that it wouldn’t be profitable to build on it. It’s that it’s more profitable not to build on it.

How would you incentivise these owners to fix their hideous eyesore properties? The carrot approach clearly hasn’t worked, so I think its time for the stick.

Or more likely they’ll sell it in a hurry to a developer who wants to - ya know - develop it. Why the media keeps calling these shameless landbankers “developers” is beyond me.

Still fighting insurance? Too bad, it’s been more than 10 years. I’m sick of living in a half-finished city.

Or just get in touch with members of your existing board. Mine are really keen to help out, they’re mostly great people.

If I’m elected mayor, I will increase rates by 50% every year on any derelict or empty central city property. I’m including gravel parking lots in that.

Signal. I bullied everyone I know into using it and deleted my Facebook account, so they have no other option for contacting me.

Is this satire? If not, good lord.

Good lord, you may have just changed my life.

How can one person do so much damage to a company in such a short amount of time? It’s incredible.

He must be spending heaps of time here to learn how to hold it that long.

Put Albon back in that car, now that he has the experience. He’s proving how good he is at Williams.

Paternity leave.

Oo just found there’s a community for it already, I’ll go there

Came back later with some binoculars and managed to get this close up.

I’ve hacked about with peertube a bit for work and it seems pretty polished. From a dev perspective it has a really good plugin architecture that makes tweaking an instance pretty easy.

Fedora, for the “It Just Works”™ experience of an enterprise-supported distro.
