can anybody explain why all this new housing is being built in my area (at least 5 houses torn down and townhomes erected on my block alone) but my rent went up >20% in the last couple years? I’m constantly told that this will drive rent down but that is not what me and my neighbors are experiencing

edit: for context this is in tampa

I made peace - Of course i'm thinking about it - but not much. I can just not now (yet). So this would just be wasted cognitive energy for me? At least that is how i feel about it.

I don't really think there is life after dead? BUT i would love to to have some kind of karma thingy so, people who are not good to other people ON PURPOSE have to explain themself on SOME level :D

Seeing Einstein performed live was a life-changing experience. Progressed through perplexment, boredom, analysis, hypnotism, and eventually sheer ecstatic unity with the music. A very meditative and intense process.

Weclome! Since you mentioned Bernstein, I'll ask a nagging question I have regarding him. Whenever I think of Bernstein, I think of music performed at a frenetic pace. Recordings on which he was the conductor always seem to be the shortest-version options for any given piece. Do you know why this was? What was behind his choice of very rapid tempi? Thank you!
