Laughable because LA City's system, Zimas, has property lines so poorly drawn over their satellite / aerial imagery. It is some simple alignment issue that puts your property line in your neighbors driveway, or your neighbors ease

If I set rent to 3k a month for a old 600 sqft apartment no one will move in. If someone is paying 1.8k for that and I raise the rent to 3k they will move. Landlords increase the rent to the maximum that people are willing to pay. You can d

That just means you are paying below market rent. There is someone willing to pay twice your rent to live where you do. Rent control creates a first mover advantage where the incumbents have a good deal and everyone else suffers. Whether th

Under your scheme, if I own a property, it is cheaper for me to make it a single family home than to subdivide it into multiple units? Why are you punishing who make housing available to others? I rent out one single family home that I coul

I just use Go for a self contained back end and server. For the front end I use the html templates, but for the most part it is traditional html, css, and js. No compiling js. That said, I primarily work in other areas. This is just for whe

Yet my voter records are public with my name, address, and phone number. Curious. Also the DMV sells my information. Also the post office forwards my information to companies who have my previous address when I file a change of address form

I have done CNAM lookups on the numbers and contacted the originating VOIP companies, and they just say "we won't let that number contact you again". It's infuriating. Don't let that customer contact me again, they

Then there is no student debt crisis. Good work on solving that one. We can continue paying schools with non forgivable loans and empowering them to charge a flat tuition no matter what the expected earnings of a degree are. The world is pe

These analogies don't make sense. Scientific research and exploratory work have insane ROI, just look at DARPA. I can not say the same for a humanities degree. Going into debt for a humanities degree is akin to consumer credit. The ind
