Fellas, please. This dino on dino violence has to end.

Hey genius, guess what:

The cost of housing is based off of supply and demand. Right now there's an assload of demand and no supply. You know what will happen if you let them continue building their 500sqft condos instead of kicking and cryinf about new development like a five year old? Eventually, the supply will grow to a point where it equalizes with demand and gasp prices will drop!

Won't somebody please think of the millionaires?

Really?? I know about Nazi decoy planes but never heard about the bomb

"New housing shouldn't be built because it won't cater to me!"

Living up to your name, hatersaurusrex

Sure, but that building should never have been landmarked or whatever the British equivalent is to begin with. Why do people care so much about old buildings that were never meant to last forever. It’s frankly weird.

This says more about you than you might think.

Yes, let's all weep over the sore lack of available 500sqft $2M condos in a city full of 500sqft $2M condos

They expected people to act decently.

“Some people”

I don’t give a flying fucking shit about preserving buildings that have outlived their usefulness. The government cared so much then they should’ve bought the building and restored it. But they didn’t because that costs too much and nobody actually cares enough to pay it. So they just imposed the will of a limited number of people on a property and never allowed the land to be used for people who are actually living there.

You should see the abuse of historical preservation lists. Half of it back door NIMBYism that is driving my rents up and pushing me out of there place I grew up. But sure “history”‘is SO much more important.

Because they were told no. If you burn down an abandoned building you still get charged with arson

>the family would face high costs after the order to rebuild the pub and that this could be taken into account in the fine. “Given the defendants have to rebuild the building, we understand they will have financial burdens in that effect.

Fuck that. they should be bankrupted. What's the point of forgiving the fine because they have to pay for their asshole actions?

You should tell them congratulations!

Their NIMBY-ing successfully prevented new housing units from being constructed and entering the market, further exacerbating the housing crisis!

Lol what? Are you living under a rock? It happens all the time here. Historical preservation is out of control in the US. Parking lots have been put under historic preservation lists. My county tried to make a dilapidated dry cleaner a historic building. It was barely 50 years old. All in the name of stopping development at any cost.

I have relatives who live in a “historic district” and it’s just an HOA but worse. Because they’ll fine you for anything and you don’t even get amenities.

My first car (‘85 Bronco II) had separate keys for doors and ignition.

Now, now, no need for that. We appreciate the age of your shit. I went to some weekly markets in Europe that have been going on since before boats landed at Plymouth. It was amazing.

Wrong. It has historical significance, and NOW it has more. Imagine having to go through and rebuild it with the pile you left there...poetic.

That seems to be the name of the game everywhere. Those townhouses look like shit.

Yeah. There was a lovely historic theater on 42nd street that they wanted to replace. The facade was landmarked (art deco) so they couldn't touch it. The developwers removed the WHOLE fucking building and dug a 3 story deep pit. That beautiful 5 or 6 story stone front was perched on the edge of the pit. I went past it on the bus every day and I couldn't believe that was stable. Guess what? it wasn't. It fell into the pit and the assholes got to build their eyesore unimpeded.

Some people care about their history and buildings associated with it. This isn’t the first time this has happened in the UK and if you allow one property owner to neglect their property into becoming a hazard, it opens the door for others. This is a problem in some areas of the US, property owners buy properties and let them rot into nothing.

I think theyre more speaking to the whole centuries of genocide, dishonoring treaties with natives, systemic inequity baked into the constitution...

My mustang (85) had an ignition key and a hatchback key, I also later found out my friends key for his ranger would work on my car.

Why cry over an old building that isn’t even being used for anything anymore? The building was unremarkable when it was first put up and will be unremarkable when it gets rebuilt.
