Then it’s not green, and only a distraction.

Have you heard about water bicycles? They look fun.

Very interesting! I’ve never heard of this before.

• Double stairways: every apartment must be connected to at least two sets of stairways, this rule comes from a time when fire prevention was lacking, but nowadays it only gets in the way of designing units with more rooms/windows because geometry.
• Maximum floor space: what it says on the tin. There is a maximum set of space each floor can use and this incentives making narrow hallways and make away with communal spaces in favor of packing as many small units as you can.
• Building setback: every building needs to be a set amount of space away from the sidewalk, which means a lot of space in every lot is wasted as it legally can’t be used for anything. Without this rule you could design adjacent lots to share a big courtyard that can be used as a community space.

Water pipe my ass, it’s probably Milhouse.

Salvation army/churches are also a common donation choice in my area.

I prefer the donation boxes run by what at least seem to be non-church charities, personally.

Please, if you can help it try avoiding the Salvation Army altogether.

No, there’s nothing rebellious about voting on which of the two turds is less evil. That’s just damage control.

The luck being: being born on the side of the planet that does the exploitation, not the one receiving it.

can’t say I’ve personally heard of anything else having the “punk” postfix conjunction besides steampunk and solarpunk

Atompunk, cyberpunk, dieselpunk, tidalpunk, lunarpunk, biopunk… All they in common is they are visions of a possible future packaged in a coherent astetic.

also sidetangent: I could be wrong but doesn’t the Final Fantasy series have ties to solarpunk or is this wrong? (kinda feels close but not quite)

Depends on the game, 10 is kinda post-apocalyptic tidalpunk, 7 and 8 are definitely dieselpunk and 9 is basically steampunk with magic.
