They use the AEW&C acronym, but reading the article I only see a hint of lipservice towards being a (barely) viable substitute to a traditional AWACS type aircraft. I'm likely completely wrong, but the "vibe" I got was that the niche this is intended to fill is the same relative to ground...

Who said there's an appearance of wrong doing? People with a partisan interest in their being one. On FB's "his company" remark. BAM has a market cap of 90 billion dollars. Billion with a B. There's public record of Carney having 6.8 million worth of stock options. That's less than one...

What do you mean by "his" company? Are you implying that absent his voluntary election for an unprecedentedly detailed public disclosure (beyond what is called for by the ethics commissioner) that a reasonable person might think he has a controlling interest in BAM?

I might be wrong but my read was that Eagle was facetiously pointing out the slippery slope that is "due process isn't for them"

I think it depends on his meaning of "hardship." Each generation has their geopolitical hardships (wars, MAD, etc) their economic hardships (great depression, 80's inflation, their existential hardships ( questions re technological advancement and it's effect on their future). The sliders go...

Incremental upgrade(s) to the same frame/chassis vs completely new vehicle is my guess

JB's advice doesnt come cheap

Re my point 1- the real price would be brought down, just not the nominal price. Re my point 2- People being able to get into a 800 sqft 2 2BR rental more affordably is unlikely to have a major impact on the supply/demand relationship on a 2500sqft $800k

It's a very narrow path, but is possible. Have to thread an absolute needle with increased supply preventing wage growth from causing price inflation, leading to the real cost of housing declining while the nominal price of home stays constant. Alternatively, and admittedly putting words in...

It was rhetorical.

And developers pay for that out of the goodness of their hearts, or does it contribute to the overall cost of the development? It's math Brad. More road, more transmission line, more pipe, more shut offs, more wye's, for less residential unit equals higher cost per unit. That applies across...

I was only half joking that a "no" group should leverage the lower threshold to twin up the first referendum with a sister question to put the issue to bed

As someone who resembles that remark -they go hand in hand. The more cities overflow their borders, the less land is left available for actual country living. The more people get squeezed out of cities, the more the effect gets passed outward to turn nice rural towns into sleeper suburbs...

No offense, but I find a lot of these types of debates get derailed by emotion when people apply societal generalizations out of context to their own non-standard anecdotal situation. As to a source- here's a pretty recent and comprehensive one...

There's your difference in perception. When most people talk of suburbs, it's about places on municipal water and sewer- the delivery costs of which per residential unit are inversely proportional to density.
