How does this change anything at all? The assessor determines the approximate value. That value is theoretically the same whether occupied or not and is already taxed. I don’t follow what this “land value tax” is proposing to change.

What about kids that haven’t been exposed to programming or CS and have no idea whether or not they would be interested?

Socialized medicine has nothing to do with this problem. You can squarely place the blame on the AMA who (proudly) lobbied for years to cap Federal funding for medical Dr education and residency.

Colleges/Universities absolutely do not need more money...they need more accountability. I'm not arguing with your numbers, I guess my point is that I don't think taxpayers will accept a huge "freebie" for one group

Local taxpayers/property owners? That model doesn’t really work to fund higher education. The public won’t accept doubling or tripling their property tax.

This sounds like less accountability when fixing the problem requires more. America needs to stop letting their University systems bloat everything unrelated to actual education and research.

That's not what I'm hearing. I'm on some weekly calls with multifamily investors and there is a small group that has spent the past couple years looking into this and came to the conclusion that commercial -> residential m

Progressive for home insurance. They act as a broker for home insurance. They consistently will find the lowest rates, easy to get a phone agent, and have people waiting to walk you through the process.

Well, we don't necessarily need as much storage if we can just shift a good amount of demand. Fertilizer production via this method might be a good fit for times when rates are low or even negative due to wind energy overproduction dur

I've looked into this, actually. I was trying to develop some lots that were zoned multifamily and wanted to build some duplexes/triplexes. The quality tends to be lower, the floorplans are very limited, and there isn't much

Costco almost isn't a fair way to compare prices because they have intentionally been losing margin and raising prices as slowly as possible to retain customers.

This can easily be fixed by changing policy with allows for the building more homes. The demand is there we're just not able to meet it A big part of this is more lower skill workers in construction. Controlled immigration would be a g

They are trying to undo their mistake of their over participation in the mortgage markets. Mortgage rates were too low for too long because the Fed was buying them up. Home prices went way up because payments were low and supply was somewha

> Rural living has a huge carbon footprint compared to city living for many people. Ugh... I want to assume the best about comments like this, but what is the point of citing this metric without context? It just feels like the only point

I'm not saying that urbanites should move to rural areas, I'm saying they should stop trying to legislate against development and stop blocking job-creating projects in rural areas because they are worried it will disrupt a biking

This comment really irks me as someone who lives in a rural area. The typical urbanite attitude seems to be that everything outside the city should be untouched, pristine wilderness which exists only for their occasional amusement when they

Big if true. Do you have a source you can point to? This is the opposite of everything I’ve heard or read.

Well, this scheme temporarily added more “supply” to the tradable market which theoretically could have lowered overall prices some amount.

The AMA has pushed for years to artificially restrict the number of physicians that universities are allowed to push out. If I recall, that number has been held steady for a couple decades or more.

Luckily in the US you can choose to live wherever you want. If you’re priced out of a neighborhood, you can choose to live somewhere else. You can also choose how many and why type of cars to have, what food to eat, how much to spend on vac

You absolutely can. Our family does and many of my friends do. They aren’t all wealthy people. It isn’t always a choice, but often it is. Many people can live on one income but choose a lifestyle that requires two.

Guess again. Cops in large towns are even more protected by very powerful unions in addition to qualified immunity.

Try yelling “fire” in a crowded theatre and telling the cops they can’t arrest you because free speech. That isn’t how free speech works. Also, they weren’t generic insults. They were specific. How about if publicly I claim: “ofslidingfeet

I don’t follow. There isn’t a perfect relationship between cap rates and interest rates, especially during this cycle cap rates haven’t fallen as quickly as expected.

Uh huh. And how is that behavior exclusive to a small town? This same exact thing could have happened in a town of any size. Cops harass teenagers everywhere. This has no relation to the themes of that song which discusses how antisocial, i
