Why is there not a political party that respects women, trans rights, likes the environment, wants public transit but also allows housing to be built
It's the most frustrating thing to see OR politicians absolutely frick up the housing market over the last 20 years with objectively failed policies.
There is an ongoing project to turn the democratic party into that!
Check out a just-out book called "Abundance" which has crystalized some of these ideas into somwewhat of a manifesto.
But generally the answer to your question is that democratic-ruled cities have high housing costs, people there have bought homes at those prices and if you were to make housing cheaper you would tank the value of the biggest asset most of your constituents own
If your solution can be called a manifesto then it's not a solution at all. For anything
How much of that was lockdowns, and how much of it was lifestyle, health, income, population density, healthcare systems, etc.?
From the article: "Oregon entered the pandemic with the fewest hospital beds per capita of any state in the nation. Since the 1990s, the state had worked to contain health care costs by guarding against excess capacity in hospitals.
That plan backfired when the pandemic hit, overwhelming hospitals and raising a very real possibility that Oregon might not have the capacity to treat everyone who urgently needed care."
That would imply that the hospital systems didn't really matter.
I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

Your manifesto: Bad, fascistic, reeks of inceldom, and poorly thought-out.
MY manifesto: Good, wholesome, reeks of good faith, and definitely thinks more than one step ahead
