I have 72 CNY in my wallet, but since it is not verified with a bank account (I closed them before I left the country) I am now unable to make any payments or accept any payments. This was a security move put into place in the last couple years because the have-friend-send-money-you-gave-cash-for method definitely used to work.

Cities could continue to modernize and add density if zoning would allow hybrid architecture additions similar to several buildings in Toronto. The outside facade and interior remains while larger, modern and dense buildings are added around and above the older landmarks. A good example of this is the current hockey hall of fame. https://www.thestar.com/news/gta/2013/01/01/saving_torontos_...

Not too long ago I listened to a really great podcast, The Lonely American Man [https://www.npr.org/2018/03/19/594719471/guys-we-have-a-prob...] that I thought really hit the nail on the head for a lot of men I know. Based on societal norms we men tend to lose our ability to make friends as we grow beyond our teens and turn to our female partners to arrange social activity for us.

It only round-about targets the elderly because most of them happened to buy their property many years ago - however without targeting the elderly with fixed incomes directly there is no phaseout either - thus the wealthy and inheritors of property can continue to pay those low property taxes while shifting the burden onto new buyers and pricing out many who are looking to buy.

It literally does the opposite

Nice to see someone I can agree with. Sure there's plenty of beautiful Victorian homes in San Francisco, but there's a lot of shitty ones that need to be razed too. SF doesn't need all these 3-4 story, 3-4 BR single family homes with tiny unusable garages - it needs taller denser and modern apartment complexes with a nice park in the middle.

All but about 1/8th of the city is just a sprawling suburb.

I seems to me the whole point is that "valid ID" was extremely limited to only include "current driver’s license, passport, or state or military ID". This was not widely communicated until only a few months before the election.

For the impoverished a driver's license and passport are extraneous to every day life, a military ID is unlikely, and if you read further, state IDs were not easily obtainable in a reasonable amount of time.

I had forgotten how horrible the resolution was on that camera!
