> Friendships are forged in shared experience and more easily when young That's great but what if you move to study or for a job. When you're the new person in town you have to make new friends or be socially isolated forever.

Turning people away is understandable. Putting them in private prisons at taxpayer expense when they're begging to fly home is at best a waste of taxpayer money (from the "fiscal conservative" right?) and at worst a civil rig

Build a bunch of apartments above the grocery store. Then divide the land tax across all floors. Voila, the grocery store lowered its tax. If the startup is able to produce a lot of value without taking much land, shouldn't that by enc
