2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.

The threshold in Michigan is 15 years of conspicuous, uncontested, and exclusive occupancy. So, no.

The court may argue that the space behind a retail marquee is not a home.

Pure commercial zoning, legally can not be a home.

There's a lot of bullshit in zoning to begin with. Why exactly can't we have mixed commercial and residential areas in suburbia? Slap some apartments on top of grocery stores, bakeries/restaurants, and shops; or is forbidden to have much of anything within walking distance of homes?

Because then you wouldn't need a car

Mixed use zoning is considered the gold standard of city planning, and it's why housing in Tokyo is so cheap comparatively

or is forbidden to have much of anything within walking distance of homes?
