There is a place near me called "Indian Burger Joint" which does something like this. Super tasty and great variety of different Indian flavours and styles.

You make a good point. Hate must be addressed at its root.

I see hate speech censorship as important for protecting the victims/vulnerable. How can we protect these people without this censorship?

Do you have any favourite examples of how a society can fight hatred?

I disagree since I think censorship can be desired when combatting hate speech. Maybe we just disagree how exactly we use the word 'censorship'.

Does anyone have experience playing this on the SteamDeck?

Have you seen the proposed Official Community Plan for Burnaby? I would say it could go further at densifying neighourhoods near transit, but its clear that most of the city will become zoned for apartments and townhomes.

This doesn't just address the design bottleneck. Since it is a standard, permitting is super fast to approve. Construction will be quicker since each home will be made of standard components. The hope is that much of the construction can be done off site with a quicker assembly done on site.

Funding may be easier to get if the are able to negotiate with the builder. Say, the original owner gets a new unit + lump sum and the builder gets to sell the other units to pay off the costs of construction.

The neighbourhood rats ate nearly all my strawberries the last two years so this year I transplanted them into hanging baskets. I see lots of berries growing so I am crossing my fingers we get to eat some this year!

Thanks for your comment, I agree with you that generalities are harmful (and often lazy thinking).

If I understand what you are saying, that's not what I meant. I don't intend to say all landlords are bad people, but that landlordism itself is bad. It is not possible for there to be a good landlord because the relationship that must exist between a landlord and renter is exploitative and harmful.

The behaviour of the owners is disgusting. There is no such thing as a good landlord.

“Everyone deserves a safe place to live,” Vlietstra said. “I believe that is a basic human right: a safe place to live, that you can call home and not fear it’s going to burn down or people are going to break in.”
