Mitch last math error was cherry picking 3 cohorts and lumping together, none of which reached statistical significance. Subgroup analysis confirmed the loss per group. I've tagged Dr. Commissioner to help explain. Perhaps you should interview auditors and economists with the needed expertise.
The fact that a few more people qualify as “high income” today by just barely crossing that barrier (because PFA is not indexed to inflation) is factually not making up for the revenue losses from the exceptionally high income people who have left.
And just like the last time @drmitchpdx.bsky.social got the data wrong, you/they do it again. CPI went up by 15.8% from 2021 to 2025. Adjusted for inflation, tax revenues in TY2025 from the "whales" were $114.4 million, still a 28% drop from TY2021.
Building 9 is unnecessary.
Essentially replacing the parking lots with buildings, then creating 2 parks where the Mall used to be. Perhaps the 2 parks should have community input, since there are needs for Rec more than Park in that area. But Devs like to work in bubbles clearly.
Seems to me that housing affordability is worsened by building 1-2 bedroom apt/condo. The reasons lower income folks like me could live in a city and do those low wage jobs? 3-4 roommates. For over a decade after college. Has nobody thought about that?
Which will the homeless enjoy more I guess?
Stop what you are doing folks...NOTHING else matters.
If you don't switch to electrify everything and cut meat as much as possible, the harms coming this next decade are worse than any war you could imagine.
Uh oh...2.0 moving closer and closer...
Hey PCocks, do you have ANY CLUE what people are saying???? It's not opinions, it's facts.

Life cycle analysis.
Add up all the things in the use of product,
Vehicle emissions include all it takes to make it, use it, then recycle.
EV beat ICE:
new vs new: 1 year
vs old gas car: >5k mi/yr with car older than 5 yr (emissions worse w age)
They are that bad
EV incentives are solution.
The Electronic Frontier foundation has great explainers on all sorts of digital privacy stuff including for activists and folks seeking reproductive justice resources! www.eff.org
I recommend this site. Not only does it explain this. It has use cases for browsers, email, messaging apps, etc.
It has apps/guide for privacy/security conscious person all the way to whistleblower. Note: The average person does not need to use TOR browser on this list

Your 'moment of doom' for Mar. 4, 2026 ~ Expecting worse than expected.
"the authors determined that 3.28 feet (1 meter) of global sea level rise could inundate 37% more land area than previously thought, impacting 77 million to 132 million people ..."

Like pretty much most of the climate science...yet notice the "Hushers" like Mann/Hayhoe won't tell you the truth.
Someone make sure the Peacocks read these threads of all the folks leaving. They sure seem to ignore! Oh, make SURE you address Mitch as DOCTOR.
Enjoy the hole you Pcocks dug.

Do you know how to do math?
Do you know the current LCA?
Because, I do.
Untrue. Math shows that if you drive >5k miles/year in a car older than 5 years, it's an environmental win to change. But it won't matter. Individual car ownership is about to go goodbye. Which fixes all of this. Have fun in the useless debates here.
This entire conversation is moot, and why those worried about our burning Earth are pivoting to TaaS. You will do it because it's the cheapest option. You won't get to pick the type of engine. See, humans are stupid like Betty. So we take the decision away. Don't bother to reply Betty.
Because gas use is harmful to others. When your choices hurt others, it becomes your issue.
The Declaration of Independence says that we not only have the right but we also have the duty to alter or abolish any government that does not secure our unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

5. Infill is mostly for singles/doubles. It changes voting and school support for families with kids, driving them out to suburbs and creating sprawl. Law of unintended consequences.
Overall, this is a common myopic approach to the issue by urbanists who lack understanding of the big pic. Sorry.
4. Clim Sol and UCD studies show the fastest/best solution is to electrify transport, solves 90% of 2040 emissions cuts. See, over half of transport isn't a private person choice. Mode shift costs $$$$$/>>>C02 to build. See #3. 15min cities, repurpose malls as hubs with EV bike/car/bus + remote work
Logical fallacies abound
1. there are just as many affordable cities, just not popular
2. building anything costs emissions and time we don't have.
3. building in climate risk cities (most of them) instead of migration is terrible. uninsurability isn't fixable
Almost...there is one more hierarchy here...the BIG ONE bsky.app/profile/timl...
