And much lower incomes. We can go back and forth like this all day. The point you seem to be missing is that it has never been the norm in the US for a 25 year old to own their own home. The closest we ever got to that would be the Silent G

The formal dining room has now become the home office. My grandparents raised 5 kids in a 900 sq foot home. They weren't poor. That was the typical home being built in the working class suburbs of Detroit in the early 1950s. Average ne

Somewhere your right to film someone in public crosses over into harassment, which is illegal. That line will vary in 100 small ways if you ask 100 people to define it.

My state has unambiguously defined bicycles as vehicles, perhaps to avoid exactly this question. It also avoids the need to rewrite the vehicle code to specifically include bicycles. There have been exceptions added to the vehicle code to a

Perhaps the same reason there are trolls on the internet. The game you are playing and want me to play is not the game I wish to play, so I shall do my own thing in your game space.

The property value may or may not be growing at 10% a year. My state (Oregon) has a tax cap similar to California's. Taxable property values were capped at their value in (I believe) 1979 and are only allowed to increase by 3% a year.

That's why I stuck with a gas furnace and traditional AC when I was looking a few years ago. My heating and cooling costs are only about $800-1000 a year. Spending an extra $8-10k up front in hopes of reducing that figure simply doesn&

I'm not in CA, so genuinely curious. When you quote 66 cents/kwh is that the marginal rate for an addition kwh or is that averaging in fixed costs? I pay about $20/mo just to have an active service line to my house, even if I

Especially since Covid it seems like the rule is "If everyone else is stopped, I can blow right through the stop sign. They'll wait."

It is but it's one of those rules that gets half a sentence in the drivers manual that people cram when they turn 16 and never think about again.

Landlording is a competitive business. If the demand is there they will add them. There is no reason we can't start requiring new construction to include 240v outlets at each parking space or some large percentage of them.

If you can't charge at home, there is almost no reason to buy an EV today. The infrastructure you would need to rely on just isn't there in most places. If you can charge at home, or maybe at work, there is almost no reason not to

I have never, in my 50 years on this planet, needed to tow anything. Most people don't.

Good thing no ICE owner has ever parked their car overnight with the fuel light on. They might DIE.

Until the engine blows or the transmission fails. Both are actually quite common on older ICE cars. At least as common as the need to replace an entire battery pack on an EV.

If you are comparing comparable vehicles, EVs don't cost 4x ICE vehicles. It's closer to 1.5x and maybe 2x at the worst.

Hopefully they did the job right. My hometown had old brick streets downtown that behaved similarly to your description. The city paved over them with asphalt but did a poor job on the prep work. Within a few years the road was in worse sha

The 15 year old Toyota has fewer safety features than the modern one. Side impact airbags, collision monitoring systems etc. Additionally, the 15 year old Toyota will only be as safe as the maintenance that has been done to keep it operatin

I have a normal ICE car but it has a supplemental 12v battery for its start-stop system. When that battery gets low/close to EOL, an error message will pop up stating that "steering assist may be limited." I haven't dete

You might get the head of the SWAT force to exercise a bit of caution, though I have not seen much evidence of this in the US. The 20 guys in the back of the van are out for blood from the moment they leave the station.

Different states have different rules. My state doesn’t reveal the names of minors. It also doesn’t make mug shots public until after conviction. Other states publish everything from the moment of arrest. Both have their pros and cons, thou

I'm a lefty through and through in my sixth decade going around the sun. Mousing with my left hand is weird . Like completely wrong. Even on a touchpad I tend to "mouse" with my right hand.

Most surface lots you see in a city are placeholders until the owner finds a project that pencils out. Why not charge people to park there until you are ready to build that new highrise?

At this point I’m not sure that regulated world wouldn’t end with us providing the seller with a healthy profit at the time of purchase AND a healthy profit with overpriced refills.
