I wonder if building second stairwells in multifamily buildings is really a cost effective way of mitigating stalking.

I think perhaps that because solutions have become so partisanly labled, we continue to fail on this. People in this thread are merely asking for common sense policies that exist in basically all other developed countries. This includes so

What about the obvious punishment: Taking their drugs away. Doing so improves the addicts life in the medium-long term, and provides an immediate consequence. Its something that many addicts actually want, that society wants, yet no one has

Maybe if they werent constantly cycling through erratic meth benders and on a constant search to steal enough to afford their next high, they might have a better chance at affording housing. Im all for housing those who need it. And housing

I know this sounds absurd, but I don't think social studies on such politically hot issues can be trusted outright. Given the state of university social science departments, can you imagine the cost of publishing something that suppor

Heroic. I try to do this too but everyone I know thinks I'm being neurotic when I explain it to them. I still see so many people accelerating into stoplights/brake scenarios.

I think an underappreciated hurdle is how silly headsets look. I don't want to embody/identify as someone with a computer strapped over my eyes like a blindfold. It's a bad, even dystopian image. Personally, I think a helmet

No reason why mental institutions cant be compassionate and devote time and effort to individuals. Much better than letting these people live in their own excrement in the subway.

These self reported studies are not good measures. They need to find out where these people were last employed or attending school.

Availability is more than just price. In the deep south its more difficult to buy/sell and use these drugs in public than it is in portland.

I think if you look at areas that try to restrict the supply of these dangerous drug options you will find that that they are less available and expensive. When you look at areas like Portland/West Coast of US, you see that with increa

I agree with the sentiment and think that legalizing drugs like psilocybin is a positive step. But I have learned from seeing the consequences of drugs like fentanyl and meth that some substances are too dangerous and addictive to be availa

Seattle lost the supersonics because it didnt cave to this backwards farce. Unfortunately the city is worse for it

Your comment may be correct when talking about the visible homeless. Yes there is a new class of lawless junkies damaging the urban fabric of the west coast. But there are many more homeless that are not visible and not criminals. These peo

Yes but they dont allow open drug scenes. And they dont allow the rampant theft and dysfunction that comes with those encampments

Our elected City Council does not make crime a priority. It also continues to be popular to recast the realities of unchecked drug abuse and crime, as housing affordability issues. The new mayor and city attorney are diverging slightly fro

Do you have any sources for this claim? Also, I think this topic can be discussed more civilly without suggesting genocide as a solution.

In my book the only thing a better sql needs is to start selects with the from clause. -‘from orders select orderid’ Which would make for better autocomplete among other things.

Its really impressive the consistent level headed quality that Sean Carrol produces. He might be less popular because of it, but he’s not yet peddled controversy as content. Which is rare when the incentives suggest otherwise

The Weinsteins started out as experts at speaking a lot of words, while saying very little. But after testing the culture war waters, have committed fully to anti-vax grifting. Id suggest that anyone reading take this recommendation with a

My experience in Seattle matches yours, but I think its because other types of homeless people are generally less proud/open about their situation. I think also, for better or worse, most people in Seattle are referring to this most ob

Looks like a different sort of introspection than expected at most museums. I think the natural progression is to some ridiculous meta exhibit built around one of these selfy installations, where onlookers can reflect on the spectacle and c

Ceos only make an average of 300x employee salary in a subset of the largest us firms. That statistic is often used imprecisely which i think can be confusing.
