From what I understand this is a big problem on the west coast (and I agree with what you are saying). This thread is interesting, as we are all naturally biased towards problems in our own area, and I'm learning some interesting nuanc

Where I live, condo's do not increase in value much due to HOA fees and taxes. I just plugged in some numbers using (estimated) purchase price, taxes, HOA for the unit I'm in now, and it would cost me a little over $1M over 30 yea

That is a good point, and this tax would need to be well thought out. I specifically would increase the tax rate the more properties an entity owns (Not a lawyer so IDK how to treat one guy owning 10 companies as 1 entity the right way). Th

I propose two changes to (try) and broadly solve this: - Additional property tax if you do not live in your home fulltime. This includes vacation homes. - First time, US Citizen, non-corporate homebuyers can get a loan at the federal inter

Off topic of my original comment but I live in Chicago and have seen some of the most batshit insane drivers / behavior on the road you could imagine. People smoking are often the least of my worries (not to say its ok).

I've noticed that a lot of people most skeptical of AI coding tools are biased by their experience working exclusively at some of the top software engineering organizations in the world. As someone who has never worked at a company any

Illinois has very strong anti facial recognition / biometric law. Theres been a lot of class action lawsuits recently. I got like $300 from the facebook settlement alone. So this loophole wouldn't work either fortunately

I believe Switzerland has nationalized their railroad network, much like the US has nationalized our road network. Its supposed to take a loss so that the rest of the economy benefits.

I think the true value of this isn't replacing trains during the long haul portion, but rather the "last mile". The logistical infrastructure for getting freight from train depot to other depots is about as efficient as it ca

I presume the costs to convert enough of our existing rail networks to support electric trains (in the US) would be extremely high, especially considering so much of the freight rail network is owned by a few companies. Freight rail seems l
