Local NIMBYs and landlords love constrained supply. They leverage zoning codes, claims about aesthetics, parking and traffic concerns, and worst of all affordability percentages to constrain local supply so that their home values and rental incomes will rise. This happens with so much political strategem that the only obvious thing about it is how vested and deliberate it is.

Mentioned in the article: As an accomplished programmer and a bit of an anarchist, Audrey Tang is a super interesting government minister. I just came back from regularly scheduled office hours, which I find really rad for a minister to have (both walk-in and by appointment office hours are available).
I wanted to compliment her g0V org on a great rewrite of the online dictionary published by the Ministry of Education: really clean URLs, using open data for translations, publishing the original data under a nice license, behind a CDN – and she commented, oh yeah I just deployed an update (!). https://www.moedict.tw/
Many years ago, Audrey also elucidated Chinese language Twitter users living in 2x the density of English users, which foreshadow's Twitter's decision in lengthening limits to 280 chars for English but not for Chinese: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=875414

You're in luck. You get the version 12 months before the subscription ended, so the version released before the 1 year mark.

Is this realistic?
