I don't think it is out of scope though because wether the government or your HOA/whatever is deciding how to appropriate the LVT is at the whims of someone else. I'm mostly for LVT but it gets supper messy with multiple own

I think you are the one living in the bubble. Take a look outside the west coast and northeast and there are new houses popping up all the time keeping house prices down because there are no geographical constraints [0]. [0]: https:/

Wouldn't a land value taxes be regressive for condos as the more expensive ones are on higher floors and would pay the same rate as people on lower cheaper floors?

10 year treasures are yielding 1.453%, the SP 500 has P/E ratio of 28.83 indicating a yield of like 3.5% and you think a 14% yield is not a strong incentive???

I agree that walkability is bad. IMO, it should be 0-100 based on the minutes to walk to a grocery store with the score being minutes it takes to walk to a grocery store. The lower the better.

I should clarify: everywhere land is scarce and the government isn't moronically not charging what they should for street parking. I have an even worse example than yours: my brother and his gf live in lower manhattan and are somehow

Yes I know. I'm responding to the "not forcing them to pay for automobile storage they're not using". This website says it costs 25-50k to build an underground parking spot [0] which when they can charge $3,600 per yea

Isn't that the case already pretty much everywhere land is scarce? When I lived in Seattle, parking was an extra $300 a month on top of rent but I didn't have to pay that when I didn't have a car.

That is the point of the BS coin, that is what you attach your identity to and then you trade all of the washed coins for your new BS coin. Creating/mining the BS coin is where your legitimacy comes from.

Amazing. So now you can steal a bunch of crypto and wash it. Holy shit, if you then create some BS coin which gets a bunch of "investors" (really just you investing the coins you stole), you could steal hundreds of millions if n

Most tech companies give you a large grant when you join, say 16x that vest 1/4 per year so 4x per year. Then, every year after that they usually give you another 4 year grant but usually at about 1/4 the initial one so 1x per ye

Sounds a little early for me. I personally wait at least 1.5-2 years and I'd definitely start interviewing as you near your 4 year cliff which incidentally is why I have started interviewing this past month.

To be fair, for militaries it is quite relevant as you generally don't want to outsource any of your military production so local labor rates which ppp approximates are highly relevant to military output.

Spacex was last valued at 100 billion, musk has 263 billion dollars of tesla stock at their current valuation which he can liquidate to personally finance spacex. Zero chance they go bankrupt as long as he has that much tesla stock value.
