@npub18pc…snhj i think the most useful part of the framework is building an understanding for how others experienced the world and to see how fundamental disadvantages exist so we can actively argument for it.
I don’t think anyone can come out of our culture being completely innocent of racism / sexism / classism - we can only actively adjust for it to be more fair in our dealings as much as possible 😅

2023-08-26 23:05:30

- reply

@npub18pc…snhj i think being white and relatively more wealthy has more to do w it than being women - are you familiar with intersectionalism? I think that’s the missing piece here
Also internalized misogyny is a thing, they are subjecting themselves to oppression and disrespect. Like mrs waterford in handmaid’s tale. The oppression is there, some are just unaware and thus perpetuate their own demise due to illusions from other parts of their identity.

One of the most dangerous thing about the church of capitalism is perhaps it can’t imagine anything *good* being free. It’s almost like profit replaced morality, reason, and humanity.

@npub1amx…0f4q In terms of commercial real estate, maybe less westfield mall and more office parks in our case? If ppl can hop on a train and be at work easier and faster than enduring epically bad traffic like LA maybe there’s hope.

2023-08-12 17:32:02

- reply

@npub1amx…0f4q @npub12en…q79g i think another important factor is the culture layer. Most Americans are * really weird * about public transportation, maybe less in NYC and possibly SF, but I remember this time in Florence we had an American in one of my art classes and she absolutely refused to and was literally disgusted that our EU classmates suggested we take the bus around. Ubers and taxis are highly inefficient in certain places and yet she just refused lol. So that’s another big issue…

2023-08-12 03:41:23

- reply

@npub1542…2gz6 @npub1amx…0f4q @npub12en…q79g The thread wasn’t about it needs to be profitable, it’s about how to make it actually happen. And the most likely scenario is if you can align incentives instead of dreaming somehow ppl will just finally do it bc it’s right and good. I envy anyone who still believe that’s possible at scale.

2023-08-12 02:42:36

- reply

@npub1amx…0f4q @npub12en…q79g imo that’s the brilliance of it, they own the land the transit is built under, so there’re aligned incentives. I don’t think transit by itself will ever even break even if we want it to be effective and affordable (like roads and tolls), so aligning side effects seem wise, but yah i’d imagine it’s mostly from the real estate - which increases in value as a result of the transit

2023-08-11 23:19:33

@npub12en…q79g well public transit can be profitable (see HK case study) so imo that’s just limiting thinking leading to bad systemic effects

I think the broader economics impact for *everyone* would be improved. Imho profit centric solutions tend to overwhelmingly benefits the few, increasing the wealth gap - and well more homeless, crime, so sf rn
