I haven’t spent much time looking at any place other than New York. But there’s census data, tax data, and a lot of public records. The number of empty units is small. The total is probably close to 40k, but that’s a fuzzy number and moving

Vacancy doesn’t mean units held empty as either a parking place for cash or held off the market. Vacancy happens when you’re painting and repairing between rentals. Vacancy happens when there’s a renovation. Things like that are normal and

Housing returns have constantly lagged behind equities in the US. In the long run it’s almost always preferable to hold stocks as most of your investments in the US.

Empty properties barely exist as a percentage of total housing supply in high cost of living areas in the US. You’re looking at no more than a few tenths of of a percentage point of NYC’s more than 4 million units.

Residential real estate is very rarely a large component of people’s retirement savings or income in the US, and equities historically outperform real estate.

Did you mean to reply to me? I'm simply pointing out that beer is calorie dense.

by ch4s3 1y ago
If you're drinking beer or wine it is certainly very calorie dense. You're looking at 208 kcal per pint of beer or 123 kcal for a 5oz pour of wine. A pound of fat takes about 3,500 excess calories, or 16 pints of beer. So if you

A vigorous weightlifting workout for an hour will burn about 400kcal[1], which is roughly equivalent to walking 10k steps depending on your body weight. Another way to think of this is 100 minutes of brisk walking will round out to about 40

The difference in metabolic activity as you age is relatively small until you are quite old, like a single digit percentage difference. You can go look at any TDEE calculator and see this.

Well then it's factually wrong. He wasn't denied care, he was some spoiled prep school kid whose family got wealthy running scummy nursing homes that were probably themselves scamming medicaid/medicare.

I'm not sure who from the core group of developers is overselling it in the way you're claiming. Yeah, I wouldn't try to build figma or gmail with liveview, but I'd be fine building an app for a bank for example. Tools e

I guess my quibble is that I’ve talked to Jose and Chris about this and I don’t think they’re overselling it. The caveats are in the docs and they expect you to understand the tools. And realistically there are cases where I’d use another t

If you can't get Elixir to work well in k8s, you're simply doing it wrong. Yeah you can build a lot of what k8s offers on the BEAM on a bare server but you don't have to at all. Elixir offers modern telemetry that works reall

It accounts for about 15% of GDP, and like other sectors you can sell more units for fewer dollars and still make the same amount of money while providing more value to your consumer. High housing costs drag on the economy.

by ch4s3 1y ago
Right clearly, as supply meets demand and prices stabilize or start to drop, new supply will slow down. You can easily have scenarios where lots of supply is being built at once and outruns demand by a lot and causes a short term drop in pr

This isn’t practical at scale. You’ll run into too many novel lessons and burn through too many tokens setting up context.

States can have supplements for non-citizens that don't use federal dollars and several do.

That’s always made sense to me in theory, but practically speaking a lot of logical units of service just don’t scale independently of your core service. Obviously this isn’t always true but I think it’s too easy to talk yourself into poppi
