It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

there are a lot of places in America that lack central planning. Houston for instance is the largest area on earth without formal central planning, and that's why it's horrifying sprawl with highway access roads right in front of people's houses, or elementary schools built next to sulfur refineries

Houston doesn't have zoning or roads mapped thru it?
The only city I know of that truly doesn't have planning is Mexico city

Houston has no formal zoning or planning. The closest thing is a list development ordinances that says how roads are supposed to be built, but nothing about where roads need to go.
