How does germany deal with the crazy tenant that destroys the place but still pays their rent? Is it an expensive and long drawn out process involving eviction court or is the security deposit very substantial?

Yeah it's not the rate, it's the %2 increase rate. Takes 35 years for the tax to double in cost. Seattle's King County has a lower property tax rate than a chunk of the bay area for example.

Sticking to your language group is the easy thing to do, we realize that very well. But we also know its not the best thing to do, like eating a lot of ice cream. I've seen family members who integrate and others who treat the new pla

That is why there are law regulating HOAs, and they talk about that exact mini-government issue you talk about. Ex: https://www.calhomelaw.org/doc.asp?id=460 You can also say something similar about corporations.

What are the numbers? When the numbers were released for SF, it was a number around ~6000. While SF rent laws cause over 30'000 units to stay off the market because landlords don't want to deal with the risk and hassle. And even

Type inference is horrible. Mostly because as soon as your project gets large, type inference eats inordinate amounts of time during compiling and indexing and developer experience degrades. Combine that with operator overloading and gene

Unless your project is small (like under 10-20k lines), why use node when you can use a typed language? Javascript is a mess and if I'm server side and using something dynamic, I might as well use something nicer like ruby or python.

I just want to note the real killer about prop 13 is not the property tax rate limit being at %1-%2, but that property tax assessments cannot grow beyond %2 per year. It's rent control for property owners. It takes 35 years for a $10

The demand for repair parts will increase significantly and cars will expire a lot faster. Cars that do 400 miles a day will reach 200'000 miles within ~1.3 years. Usually most cars are fairly low value by then. They would reach 400 m

It's called the studio apartment :D NIMBY has many reasons behind it, and one of them is trying to increase housing values. Other things are guarding precious "free" parking spaces, being old and not liking change, or being

I have heard that getting into medical school is a lot harder than it used to be too. It might be the reason why it's easier to be a surgeon once your in. I'm not a doctor or a med student, so take that with a grain of salt.
