A community for Cartographers with nothing left to lose.
Rules:
Don't be awful Lemmy Guidelines Still Apply.
No direct upload images This is hosted on Lemm.ee- to post images, you must use an image upload service like Imgur to post maps.
We are agents of chaos I've created this to be the alternative to the community I used to manage on the website that shalt not be named "mapporncirclejerk"
Live and let die Meme trends happen, so please don't message mods asking to take down maps that are repetitive to a bit.
Reposts Vs. Covers Not all reposts are evil- if someone posts something that has been done years ago, it serves to bring old memes to the new users. I call these meme covers. However it can be done in excess which makes it a repost and spam. Mods will determine if a post is a cover or a repost.
No impersonating mods I can't believe I had to make this rule.
No harassing mods on an appeal We can talk it out, and we will be acting in good faith when making decisions. If you disagree with a removal, you are free to message for clarification or to appeal by giving some added context.
Bans Bans will be set to a maximum of 365 days for humans, and a minimum of 365 years for bots. I believe people can change, so if you are banned for good reason, do know that it is not permanent, it is just a way to say "take time to grow and come back when you are ready".

It'll be warm soon enough! Keep not eating the rich!
A lot of that is warmer or equal to Edmonton
We could settle a lot more but it deflates housing values and takes money/business away from the places that are settled
Wait, so are there regs or something preventing more housing development? I thought this was a joke about it being obviously too cold up there.
There are zoning issues but the infrastructure is done by the government or in this case not done
In Northern Ontario the infrastructure is struggling as is because the current premier took the money from the maintenance budget and put it into Toronto ahead of the last election to try to get more votes
Ontario went to municipalities around Toronto and told them they need to add x number of houses but never touched the north
If an elected something can spend money to get elected again by pleasing most people for that expenditure, they'll spend on most densely populated areas, as density improves efficiency.
This is where electoral college (or other non-linear representation) stops looking bad.
