Which is better for @ElevationsCU over the same period of time: a $3M commercial loan, or $150K in deposits? 22:18:16, 2017-05-20
It seemed so shocking. Wrong. Like it couldn’t possibly persist. But it was just novel to me. Extravagant waste is intrinsic to our society. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:27:38, 2017-05-20
When I started dumpstering a decade ago, it seemed like a phase. A transient thing. A disequilibrium. But the waste isn’t going away. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:25:41, 2017-05-20
I don’t want to other immigrants living outside their country of citizenship but I do want a word that has “civitas” https://t.co/YouahIQLff in reply to ZaneSelvans 20:27:56, 2017-05-20
Something about this practice has always bothered me, in the same way that calling people “consumers” rather than “citizens” feels wrong. in reply to ZaneSelvans 20:23:23, 2017-05-20
When social service orgs call the people they work with “clients” are they suggesting that business is the only respectable relationship? 20:22:23, 2017-05-20
Oh and also two whole beef tenderloins. https://t.co/PCfezH0kkm 19:35:23, 2017-05-20

And most of the opponents must know that too, as nobody is suing, and they certainty have the resources to do so. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:50:49, 2017-05-18
Another thread is that the project is illegal. If you really believe that, sue the city. But Planning Board & staff know it's not illegal. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:49:39, 2017-05-18
Another theme: follow the money… Land donated. To a nonprofit. By a church. And then our weird federal tax code funding fetish. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:45:52, 2017-05-18
Others suggest that because we can't know that everything being proposed will last forever, we should maybe do nothing. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:38:49, 2017-05-18
Projects stop working when you shrink them. Substantial fixed costs don't shrink. Costs per unit of housing blow up. Less becomes zero. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:35:19, 2017-05-18
Even if that worked financially (it doesn't) it would still be less of the supposedly good thing. in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:25:00, 2017-05-18
So far on balance testimony has been supportive of @attnhomes. Most objections are "We support this… we just want less of it." in reply to ZaneSelvans 21:21:05, 2017-05-18

@attnhomes This means that FAR, dwelling units, other development rights, parking requirements, are pooled across the entire block. in reply to ZaneSelvans 18:19:15, 2017-05-18
@attnhomes One quirk of the @attnhomes project: because the church owns the entire block, the entire block is subject to site plan review. in reply to ZaneSelvans 18:18:18, 2017-05-18
