This is only one small piece of the puzzle, but it's fairly common to have trouble finding a place to rent if you're a foreigner, specifically because you're a foreigner.
as long as you don't have bad intentions it's all good
Generally speaking, this is a problematic way of justifying your actions.
It's all good if you have no bad intentions as long as you apologize when called out.
Good intentions do not give you a free pass, however they do help others understand where you're coming from if you bring them up when apologizing.
"My bad, I didn't know about that, growing up it was always okay to do XYZ"
"Sorry I made it more stressful for you, I thought I was helping"
hits very different from
"This is ridiculous, I had good intentions and you're still upset 🙄"
In fact, if you say the latter you're saying you have good intentions, but how good are those intentions if you refuse to help accommodate more?
Some understanding and clear communication will do a lot to smooth the axles of the world.
I read somewhere that Hezbollah started using pagers as their main method of communication instead of cell phones out of worry that phones would get hacked. That'd explain the prevalence of the pagers.
I think the point of the island is to show that when you have limited space, residential density really matters. Even if you took away all the concrete, spacing, etc between houses in this example and just out 100 ranch style homes in a corner with no spacing in between them, it would leave room for significantly less nature.
Your neighborhood sounds beautiful, and that's great, but that ratio between nature and residents is probably being achieved with more land than if high density residential housing was in place.
Dang. Yeah unpredictability is the worst.

A dude was quitting magic the gathering cuz he played it with his ex. Bought his collection. Found a non-precious metal wedding band. I don't know where it is now, perhaps it rolled it's way to smeagol.
How active is your local Lemmy community? Mines is pretty dead but voting for the specifics you call for is still mentioned.
Of course people aren't going to be discussing the specifics of local races in the general politics community. It's entirely disingenuous to argue that's an indicator that nobody cares about local races.
Except one side is pushing for ranked choice voting, which would actually significantly aid third parties.
