I was only commenting on your belief that people are somehow 'classist' because they don't want to live in an aPodment.
I'm all for having them built if it provides housing at reasonable prices for people who need them. In fact, why would anyone be OPPOSED to them? Just don't live in them.

Great Dominic, thanks for comparing two non-comparable places.
People in Manhattan also have incredible public transportation, anything they need within a couple block radius, and most work within the confines of the city.
I would certainly pay more for less if I had those amenities. Living near a Seattle bus route is hardly as desirable as living anywhere in NYC. For me, I prefer Seattle. Part of that reason is I don't have to live in a cabinet. Also, I enjoy having enough space to entertain. Maybe there should just be less people on the earth? Like stop people from having 5 kids each so I have to live in an aPodment.

Congratulations, a kid who needs help from just about every possible handicap kills a 50 year old crocodile that has been kicking ass all by himself for at least 49 years.
If you can't build a gun, it makes you pretty pathetic when you use one in combat. The only way to kill a beast and not be a massive pussy is if you do it all on your own accord.
I mean, the only thing stopping someone with raw chicken, a truck, and a shotgun from killing a crocodile is there being a crocodile. This teenager could have been any fucking moron. Hell, it could have been any random 2 year old toddler.
I wonder how thrilled fuckface would be to fight another man with a shotgun.

Look at these pathetic people who spend all day commenting multiple times an hour yet claim that the Stranger is a biased piece of shit newspaper.
If you are going to be a principled asshole, why not actually stand by your principles? Commenting all day on a articles you don't agree with (and arguing with people who don't give a shit what your 'opinion' is) will only serve to build up a thick layer of cholesterol along your arteries.
Lastly, can people stop having opinions? Ok no matter how much you TRULY believe something, it doesn't make it true. Religion has proved that theory wrong millions of time. If you keep saying, guns aren't dangerous over and over again, it won't come true.

Instead of being cynical... Be happy they produced a DRAFT so things like this can be worked out before it is implemented?

The responsibility an artist has to decree his/her manipulation to a photo AFTER the photo was taken has the same amount responsibility they have to decree the manipulation used in TAKING the photo.
You can manipulate real life with framing, angles, exposure, at what point in time you snap the photo.
The photographer doesn't just choose WHAT to photograph they choose what NOT to photograph to. I could spend days giving examples.
End of story: Trust any art the same, regardless of the medium. Art can be used to promote morals and ideals and it can be used to manipulate feelings. It is whatever the artist wants, and what the viewer sees. To trust anything innately Is a silly concept Paul. Trusting a picture taken from the world, is like trusting a paragraph randomly OR not randomly chosen from an article, to accurately describe the whole.

I'm not sure how you inferred that I didn't understand the concept of them. I was stating that a small space in NYC has nothing to do with a small living space here. I just didn't understand Dom's juxtaposition of Seattle aPodments with normal living spaces in NYC.
