It’s a double edged sword.
I’ve been slowly working on it for the last year or so. It’s gone a lot smoother than I thought it would.
As stated lower down in the thread, there are more options than just suburban sprawl and tight apartment buildings.
And apartment buildings aren’t the only high density options available. Half the issue is just the bans on subdivisions and requirements for minimum parking, lawn setbacks, etc.
There is a great deal of difference in density between these options:
I can understand not wanting to live in a multi story apartment building. But for those people, some percentage of them would still be ok with one of the first two images here. We don’t all have to go with the third one if we want something more independent.
But the conversation is implicitly about how we should be building going forward.
In the original position, one is asked to consider which principles they would select for the basic structure of society, but they must select as if they had no knowledge ahead of time what position they would end up having in that society. This choice is made from behind a “veil of ignorance”, which prevents them from knowing their ethnicity, social status, gender and, crucially in Rawls’s formulation, their or anyone else’s idea of how to lead a good life. Ideally, this would force participants to select principles impartially and rationally.

It seems like the only shots that were fired were from the secret service.
This post is how I found out about this 2nd attempt.
purely on the basis that they work elsewhere.
Do you mean working elsewhere, with elsewhere being other levels of government, or elsewhere being other countries?
Either way I disagree, but I want clarification first.
I’m rewatching it again, this time with my girlfriend because she hasn’t seen it yet. We’re currently 3/4 of the way through Matt Smith’s doctor.
So maybe this time he will grow on me.
And then you promptly split the vote, allowing a party ideologically furthest from you to dominate.
Ah, that would explain it. I checked out once Capaldi joined.
That must have been the old Doctor Who, because I don’t remember seeing an episode like that.
But that’s a very Doctor Who style plot line lol
but either one of two things is true:
It’s worse. It’s both, which is in part why third parties don’t ever work.
And the solution is election reform, not yelling “just vote for what you believe”. Because people just voting for what they believe causes spoiler candidates to spoil elections.
we’d probably see a third party in American politics…
No, we wouldn’t. There are still people who’s closest candidate is one of the two main parties.
By the time you knock a hole in the wall with your own body, you’re gonna be a bloody pulp.
