I don’t think that’s true. My understanding is that typing first started in the US because black workers were not getting paid, or paid less, and it was a way for them to subsidize their income.

Also, the general etiquette back in the day, when tipping at restaurants was 10%, was to not tip on the alcohol portion of your bill, only the food, and don’t tip the owner.

RIP Doug, but the band is playing at the PNE this year.

We shall see once the apps stop working. I keep instinctively running RIF of my phone and there is content, even if some subreddits are down. Once RIF goes dark I won’t have that instant click and who knows when I’ll be back. If I have to browse to a site, then it doesn’t have to be Reddit.

Parking spots add value to the units. Even if it costs $100k less to build, the value compared to neighboring units, might be more than $100k less. The developers will earn less and be less inclined to build it.

Obviously if they are given no choice they will build what they can, but there are choices about where to build. If they can choose which project to build and one city eliminates parking in the buildings and another doesn’t, then they will go with the more profitable option.

The desire to build parking into the building should go with the demand. As more people eliminate cars, because of the good transit and car share options, they will value parking stalls less. Once the value of a parking stall drops below the cost to build it, they will stop building them.
