Chris Minns talks about Sydney being the next New York, which also has its fair share of ugly apartments but unlike the below actually has street level life (not just a couple of cafes and, per the website a 600m hike to Mac Park). Density needs to bring real urban amenity too.

Main effect of the 'green energy transition' is your industries transition to scarcity & the population transitions to penury. Germany has been the experiment. We have working baseload power alternatives in Gas or Nuclear that offer abundant, cheap & clean energy.

But we now know that Hamas can’t even provide 40 live hostages and has been negotiating in bad faith for weeks for a ceasefire that would let them rearm and regroup, so…

A reckoning is coming for the politicians and bureaucrats who have been hiding behind GenCost and the ISP to avoid acknowledging that renewables are expensive.

Truths and straight talking from Jeff Dimery, CEO of Alinta Energy:

For real.

I have no idea how Fetterman became the voice of moral clarity in the Democrat party but here we are and well done sir.

Suspect an awful lot of NIMBYs love this.

Walid Daqqa kidnapped a 19-year-old, Moshe Tamam, held him hostage for two days, gouged out his eyes, castrated him, mutilated his body, and finally shot him in the chest and dumped his body.

There, i fixed it for you.

Get in the bin.

Look at this! And in the local architectural vernacular too! Aussie YIMBYs take note this is how you win people over.

“Solar manufacturing is a terrible business. The only way to make any money is through enormous scale and cheap labour, neither of which Australia has, or by forcing your citizens to buy expensive locally made ones.”

Is this more or less bad than saying “bloodbath”?

Why does Sydney Airport still broadcast “keep a safe distance from your fellow passengers” messages? Bizarre.

Unreal.

Great question. Having done a Bondi Junction high rise once, I’d say noise (thin walls), not a great place for a dog, lack of entertaining space, very little storage, mail was constantly getting stolen. Good construction and design could solve a lot of this.

Get amongst it!

Whitmer has long been on my short list to sub in for Biden just after the convention.

A new angle for local YIMBYs!

I wonder how much of the mental health crisis in youth comes from being told that every goddamn normal thing in their existence they need to feel bad about?

Not, apparently, a parody.
