That is not the case for all HOA’s. For some, they have gated communities.

Yes, but they still allow mail deliveries and visitors in some form or another.

After all, they aren’t building these amenities for everyone to use, just residents who either own property or are leasing property in a way that is approved by the HOA.

Yes, but there are other ways to manage that then setting up an HOA which can be expanded well beyond the management of that communal property.

You only have to look and see how other countries do it to see that HOA's are uniquely an American problem, one that has no justification in being as bad as it is.

TWeaK , to US Authoritarianism in Passive Voice with Cracking Down on Pro-Palestinian Protestors for Tesla, What is this a Crossover Episode?

Were they even protesting about Palestine?

TWeaK , to A Boring Dystopia in "Yeah, but what if we used AI?"

Sure, but what's wrong with that? I mean, roads are already open to everyone - your mailman can access them, visitors can access them, etc. If you extend it to ponds and parks and stuff, it wouldn't be the end of the world for those to be public, either.

Maybe with pools and such it's a different story, but there are ways of managing those without setting up a mini government rife for abuse.

Europe’s global plans all require money no one has hoarded by the wealthy elite that no one is willing to properly tax and collect

Israel would never do that, they certainly never did that before...

TWeaK , to Asklemmy in Did the year zero never exist ?

Ohh, nice one!

The first convention is common in English-speaking countries, but the latter is favoured in, for example, Sweden (tvåtusentalet, which translates literally as the two thousands period).

I'm not sure that's entirely true, most people in English speaking countries (and the world over) celebrated the millenium at the beginning of the year 2000.

Nah they do have some valid purpose, eg communal roads and facilities - at least in a country where the state refuses to adopt basic infrustructure for new housing developments.

TWeaK , to politics in John Leguizamo on Trump’s Latino support: ‘He doesn’t like us, and he doesn’t want us here’

That seems to be a recurring theme with right-wing supporters, they dream of it one day being their turn - no matter how far-fetched that may be.

TWeaK , to Asklemmy in Did the year zero never exist ?

That makes sense, but trying to square that off with the idea that the year 2000 is the start of the 21st century is hurting my head.

If year 1 is the 1st year, then surely the first year of the 21st century should be 2001?

TWeaK , to Climate - truthful information about climate, related activism and politics. in Trump rails against wind energy in fundraising pitch to oil executives | At a Mar-a-Lago dinner, Donald Trump doubles down on promises to derail a key form of clean energy

Wind and renewables in general already out-compete oil. If you think about a traditional power plant, the costs can be lumped into 4 categories:

  1. Construction
  2. Maintenance
  3. Demolition
  4. Fuel

Over the life of the plant, fuel has always been the dominant cost. With renewables, there are no fuel costs. Sure, the other costs might be slightly higher (wind farms are in remote areas, you have many small generators as opposed to a few big ones - solar is still dirt cheap though) but the fuel cost being non-existent easily overrides that.

The biggest travesty is that we basically have renewable energy sold at oil prices, creating insane profit margins for renewables.

Also I have no idea what you mean by the IRA and keep wondering what Ireland has to do with all this.

“I hate wind,” Trump told the executives

And yet that's all he produces.

It's also far easier for the person with money to get away with.

Old man needs his nap.

TWeaK , to NonCredibleDefense in The matter can be deemed concluded.

And mom told Israel to stop and "take the win".

TWeaK , to A Boring Dystopia in consider the implications for a post scarcity future

For now, BESS is a hugely growing industry and many countries' planning authorities are speed lining them.
