It would also end gerrymandering with compact districts and make corporate lobbying at least 100x more expensive and difficult but local lobbying would be significantly easier.

Looks like a bunch of the mixed use developments going up near me. Ground floor is shops, 2nd floor is professional, upper floors are apartments.

I was so into the movie watching it with my kids, when it started rolling credits I literally said "what the fuck!" out loud in front of mine and a bunch of other people's kids. I was so disappointed and now the second part is nowhere in sight. So frustrated, I refuse to watch it on streaming since it is such a tease.

States can send a delegation of their representatives to the capital to work on committees, etc, while the rest remain in the state and simply vote or help draft legislation from afar. This would mean about 6800 representatives and make gerrymandering more complex. It also means lobbying becomes significantly more difficult and expensive for corporations.

They know how to build houses that can survive a category 5 hurricane.
Meetup.com is a great way to find social groups. Toastmasters is also good. Go to your local library and or commutity center, they will often know of social groups that use the facilities. My town's art center has loads of adult art classes and they also run adult sports leagues.
When I first moved in, despite being a rather poor player, I joined the softball league and met a bunch of folks since it was really an excuse to go have a beer afterwards. Same for a wood turning class I took.
