Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

I want to believe this is good, but something about it smells of late stage capitalism.

[–] phoenixz@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Because...?

It's waking

It's cycling

It's cheap

It doesn't destroy the environment

What part of this....?

Culdesac is a real estate developer and neighborhood manager of walkable, mixed-use communities designed to embrace a culture of belonging, transportation freedom, and thriving local businesses.

You want a corporation as your landlord and community organizer?

I missed that part. So that no, but the rest sounds like an actual place for human beings

Somebody has to build it...

I don't think they wanted a real answer

I mean, an argument can be made that it is really just an apartment complex owned by one company. But, imo, it is a step in the right direction.

I know I’m feeling cautious about any progress towards my understanding of what is good, so I think I can understand why the first person was saying that, but I’m assuming. This sounds like a great thing, (but within the seconds I thought this), but I could never afford to live there it must be an overpriced and gentrified neighborhood.

I spent more time than I liked to placing commas and trying to be grammatically correct. I probably made mistakes but does anyone reading really care. Am I just trying to make people’s opinion of me higher because I organized the message to the standards of people long dead. I know I technically asked two questions there but I wasn’t really asking so fuck it.
