Code requirements for housing are far more strict. One of the reasons you don't regularly see office building conversions is because homes require things like windows for each bedroom or at least one bathroom per home. While the bathro

Sounds like a tax, then. Except it's a tax that's functionally invisible because an equivalent public company would've distributed that same profit to shareholders. So the end result is that the local government charges less

I don't know that this is the right counter-argument against the point parent comment made. This counter argument is defeated pretty easily by pointing at all the other regulation that applies to public markets that private offerings (

Funny thought: this write-up will probably be instrumental for calculating future valuations of Bob Ross paintings should his estate ever consider selling them. I wonder if that's why they agreed to it?

If Lyft is allowed to go out of business, it doesn't mean Uber necessarily takes over; it means there'll be opportunities for others (including legacy cab associations) to fill the void. If Lyft dies, if anything it'll spook

there's a certain plausibility to the idea that some folks were trained to hover over a link and see where it goes as part of anti-phishing training, but that a fraction of them may hover over the link, see product.zip anyway, and just

It's not "a bit" in this case. The entire point of the change is to reach those who can't be reached by it today. Middle class folk are still dissuaded by multi hundred dollar HOV fines, for instance, so what's the

Imposing the control on the people who cause the least problems relative to the problem population is worse than the baseline. And most jurisdictions have laws promoting snitching on your neighbor for tax evasion anyway. You don't even

That misses the forest for the trees without any of those. You still penalize low and middle income drivers and miss the people who disregard the social contract the most.

This is a kernel of a good idea; it can be refined further by making the fine a percentage of the combined value of all taxable property registered to that person (otherwise the fine hits middle class drivers disproportionately). Would prob
