We have density around here, but it's fairly pricey for a 2 bedroom apartment.

And they're constantly stymied by NIMBYism.

The answer for housing is simple; density. But most people don't want density.

So there ya go.
This is true, though outside NIMBYism, you sometimes outpace infrastructure, which in theory should drive down demand, but it seems people adapt. The train I took to SF as a kid has grown impossibly crowded, for example.

I sure as shootin' don't want to live that close to other people.  About the only reason I'm not already living on 100 acres in the middle of nowhere is because I want my kids to have easy access to good schools.

As soon as they graduate, though...

This is my first time living in an urban environment.  I'm pretty flexible, I could live anywhere in the US aside from weather.  The wife really likes it here and I understand why.  Being able to walk to anything I need is handy, doctor, dentist, groceries, bars, park, technically even the airport kind of.

We do get a lot of firetrucks passing with sirens.

Well, part of that is that SF NIMBYism doesn't allow residential buildings of >40 ft in height in most places. 

So SF needs workers but none of them can afford to live in SF because you can't build much high density housing at <40 ft. 

So everyone lives somewhere else and has to commute in. Because you also can't park anywhere in SF without spending a fortune, they make use of that train. 

More density WITHIN SF would make it more affordable to live there, which would reduce the number of people that need to ride that train every day.

Like everything, it has pros and cons.  Fortunately for me, the pros have been solid thus far.

Gets too cold out there.  The southwestern portion of the Hill Country would work though.

College football teams will be required to attempt 2-point conversions after touchdowns in the second overtime period of games rather than the third, according to a change approved Thursday by the NCAA's playing rules oversight panel.

The NCAA Football Rules Committee last month recommended the change, as part of an effort to limit plays and end games sooner. Teams still will have the option to attempt an extra point or go for two after touchdowns in the first overtime session.

Stanford coach David Shaw, chair of the rules committee, told ESPN in March that the seven-overtime game between Texas A&M and LSU in 2018, which the Aggies won 74-72, prompted discussion to change the overtime rules.

Why not just make it mandatory from the outset of OT?  I'm fine with it, but is it wise to allow one game to dictate policy like this?

Who, as we all know, aren't really football players.  
Except that one guy....where did he play?  Penn State?  Iowa?  I forget.

What if they were required to go for 2 after every other TD during the game?

You could choose after the first one.

Would be like Oregon.

Should there be an option to go for three?  You'd start at the ten yard line, or wherever was suitable.
