Davriellelouna@lemmy.worldOPto Ontario@lemmy.ca•Ontario allows more density, taller buildings near Toronto transit102·4 days agoThis is a great decision for housing affordability and transit. It’s also good for the environment. Reducing urban sprawl means protecting valuable land.

Davriellelouna@lemmy.worldOPto Mildly Interesting@lemmy.world•How many housing units were built per 1,000 residents in 202421·6 days agoAs a non-american, I think the blue states get a lot of things right.

But these monkeys are actually building housing.

Davriellelouna@lemmy.worldto You Should Know@lemmy.world•YSK: For-Profit News companies are willing to create the world you want, so they can get your clicks.1·1 month agoI’m a strong believer in non-profit news. I regularly donate money to The Guardian because it’s a great non-profit newspaper.

Many for profit news organizations are absolute garbage. But please don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Not all for-profit news organizations are clickbait propaganda. It depends on their business model and their owner.
The New Yorker depends on subscriptions. They employ some of the best writers in the english speaking world.
The Information depends on subscriptions. It’s (very) expensive but they have the best coverage of Silicon Valley.

Rupert Murdoch is a real bastard. He was regularly invited by Ronald Reagan to the White House. He came with his lawyer, Roy Cohn.
He is so powerful because there are millions of people who swallow the crap from his media.
Donald Trump praises him.
“Rupert Murdoch is in a class by himself, he’s an amazing guy” President Trump said of the conservative media magnate, who sat smiling in the Oval Office this week
