  • A reporter asked how long detainees would stay at the facility in Florida. This was his reply:

    I’m gonna spend a lot. This is my home state. I love it. I love your government. I love all the people around … these are all friends of mine. I know them very well, and I’m not surprised that they do so well. Ron (DeSantis) has been a friend of mine for a long time. I feel very comfortable in this state. I’ll spend a lot of time here. You know for four years I’ve got to be in Washington, and I’m OK with it because I love the White House. I even fixed up the little Oval Office. It’s like a diamond. It’s beautiful. It’s so beautiful. It wasn’t maintained properly, I will tell you that, but even when it wasn’t it was still the Oval Office so it meant a lot.

    I’ll spend as much time as I can here. You know my vacation is generally here because it’s convenient. I live in Palm Beach. It’s my home, and I have a very nice little place. A nice little cottage to stay at, right. But we have a lot of fun and I’m a big contributor to Florida. We pay a lot of tax. A lot of people move from New York, and I don’t know what New York is gonna do. A lot of people move from Florida to New York for a lot of reasons, but one of them was taxes. Taxes are so high you can’t believe it. I don’t know what New York is gonna do about because some of the biggest, wealthiest people, and some of the people that pay the most taxes of anyone in the world for that matter, they are moving to Florida and other places. So, we are going to have to help some of these states out I think but thank you very much. I’ll be here as much as I can.












  • I didnt say ‘it’ll never work!!’, I said NYC <> the US. You can’t compare the two and say “See, it works” when he isn’t even elected yet, and its in a city that is absolutely further left than democrats on the national scale.

    I would love to see it work. One mayoral hopeful in a friendly city is not a reasonable comparison though.

    Edit: feel free to show me a single example somewhere red. I’d love it.

    When that happens, yeah, that’d be a good example.




  • Door opens to the kitchen, the living room appears smaller than the BRs from the renders, no half bath (just one full thats attached to a BR), the cabinet above the fridge should be full depth to be usable, beds up against the wall (and not enough good.option in design not to be) which means one of the couple has to crawl across the bed every time, complete lack of dining area aside from bar style seating…

    There is plenty to criticise in this design. This would be better as a 3BR with an expanded living space, reduction in full baths and convert to half bath, and some layout changes to make better use of the floor plate.

    The idea is good, but doesnt have to be limited. Two floors, for example, can let you have a tall ceiling in a living space so it feels more open and inviting, and take up about the same floor plate as a smaller 1-2BR design, so can be mixed into the building design easily. Also worth incorporating would be small decks, an easy way to get some sun and make the space more inviting to the people living there.

    There are some places with designs like these, too, including ones where its 1-2 BR single floor, 2-3 two floor (and about twice the sq footage), and designed to pair with townhouses and storage rooms in the basement. Unfortunately not enough using a design like that.
