A 4 plex in the neighborhood will raise property values. If you can 5x the land's income earning potential it is more valuable. This is the whole idea behind a land value tax. Think of it this way - Single (wealthy) families are compet

Yes, that is what I am saying. Our banks are the problem. Does the 0.5% have a flat fee attached to it or could I make a 1 cent charge (+ 1 cent fee)? Edit: There are still gateway fees so my point stands.

Everything should be pay-as-you-go. We need infrastructure for low fee microtranscactions. Subscriptions exist because of the minimums on card payments. You can't charge a cent to read an article because the banks will be taking 20c +

The state has a monopoly on violence. Walgreens has security guards, they can't do anything physical.

There are a lot of roads in LA that are gated or just dead end. [1,2,3] They drive me insane. It effectively makes a gated community and I doubt the property tax revenue covers the tax dollars that go into these neighborhoods. Roads are a p

Less trade does not mean banning trade. The US doesn't need to become protectionist against Taiwan, China could establish a blockade in the South China Sea.

Where did I say we should ban trade? I would just like life to continue as normal if something like a war or global pandemic breaks out. The US is moving in an amazing direction with the TSMC fab.

>The common refrain about higher education costs is state governments have cut back on subsidies I have only ever heard that it was the availability of non dismissible loans that inflated the price.

Agree here. I LOVE recreation.gov, it is so great. I just booked a site for August next year. That isn't too say the fees shouldn't be better directed to public agencies. Still though, absolutely amazing site, great app, I'm

Will a soundbar help me understand accents? That is my main problem. Almost every show I watch has heavy accents for flair (fantasy) or because it was cheaper to do with non-US actors (action). I either have to watch with subs and miss the

Housing doesn't have inelastic demand though. If the city gets cheaper (+capacity) more people can live in it. As well, if it gets too expensive people are priced out and leave. Ask any state about the Californians moving there. We are

LVT benefits landlords because they are properly utilizing their land. They are operating much closer to its potential value than single family homes.

We could simply remove density restrictions. Landlords are not your enemy, and hear me out on this one, single family homes are. Zoning limits the competition for property to single households. I can compete and win against a lot of single
