A Boring Dystopia@lemmy.world•Investors are making up the highest share of homebuyers in 5 years
8·2 months agoWhile these investors are absolutely soulless and deserve to be called out, there’s another aspect of this problem that I feel doesn’t get talked about enough.
If we just built enough housing this problem would go away. And it would be easy if we had a system that allowed people to build new things and undercut competition. But we can’t because regulations make it nearly impossible to make anything other than houses.
People investing on houses are a symptom of the larger overall problem, of there not being enough fucking housing.
Still my first time seeing it. And as a physicist who wants to strive to improve my field we should know these things.

Technology@lemmy.world•How Three Alleged Tesla Vandals Got CaughtEnglish
2·9 months agoThese people got caught because someone found their car and thus license plate.
Another had left a fingerprinted bottle that went missing when watching surveillance footage.
And then were able to confirm after finding the same outfit from the surveillance footage.
The lessons to be learned are to not use cars anywhere near the scene, leave no trace, fingerprints or digital evidence, including a phone, and make sure any recognizable clothing is well hidden, or even better thoroughly destroyed.
Oh and don’t post anything on social media.

Refrigerating baked goods accelerates staleness, but most baked goods freeze well.



Yes of course, but how do you propose we get that to happen?
Why are these homes empty in the first place? Are they in the same places where housing is needed?
And even if you could house all homeless people, that still leaves the problem of the crushing expense of housing in many places.
