Being shocked by empty apartments on the rental market is like being shocked by stocked shelves in a grocery store in my view. Do you think a market without inventory is better somehow?

First of all, humans can see flickering at 30 Hz and even at 60 Hz (there are different zones in retina with different "specs" some see color, some see motion). But even if it was not visible there is still a huge benefit of highe

We are already in such a society. Secrecy is an option in your employment negotiation. If you want to talk about your salary - go ahead and make it a part of your employment agreement. If others don't want to talk about their salary an

Home ownership rate in the US had been over 60% for a long time. Because of that there is a high chance that your apartment neighbors grew up in a detached home and have no habits that apartment dwellers teach their children. Combined with

I imagine the mechanics of wear are very similar between a washer and a dryer. If temperature was the main contributing factor then ironed and dry-cleaned clothes such as uniforms would deteriorate much quicker than machine washed/drie

I am questioning that fact. In my experience temperature is not destroying fabric, people used to iron their clothes for decades. Spinning in an underpowered dryer for longer will put more wear on the fabrics and stitching.

HOA owns the land, so in a HOA you only have a fractional ownership of the land through the membership in the HOA. As the result of such an arrangement you have to obey the HOA's rules.

Saving depends on the cost of gas and electricity, so you might be right for some locales and wrong for others (to the point that a heat pump dryer will cost more than gas dryer), but how do you imagine clothes will last longer? Do you thin

You seem to be confusing a cause and an effect. Japan has been having slow population growth, which turned negative more than 10 years ago, and a stagnant economy in the past 30 years. In these conditions housing does not appreciate well an

Yeah, it turns out the government's will to enforce the law trumps the RE cost w.r.t vagrancy.

>If SF built some new high-rises and offered every homeless person a condo free of charge that they will personally own after some amount of occupancy you'd pretty much solve homelessness and put a significant dent in mental health

Martha's Vineyard, Malibu, both Hamptons etc have even higher housing costs yet no homeless. It appears you've found a correlation without causation.

I understand you believe this, but can you explain this discrepancy between the water heaters? I figure by the least efficient electric heater you mean a resistive one, so it's close to 100% efficiency, right? There are plenty 90% and

I am not sure what are you asking. Do you think NIH are some stoners who know less about diseases and medicines than you? It might surprise you but those people [1] actually have education and experience, unlike yourself. 1. https:/&#

Ah, people can have all kinds of furniture in their "offices", the point is that it's useless to others while that person works. Unless it's also unheard about having an uninterrupted work environment in your country it

Not according to a google search for "6000 pounds vehicle list".

Not to mention that the IRS requires a vehicle to be at least 6000 pounds in order to deprecate for business purposes. Buying anything under 6000 pounds for business means paying more taxes.

We have power dryers in the US, they are installed together with washing machine in a laundry room/closet. In houses people often put them in the garage because they can be quite noisy.

1200 sqf is on the larger side of a 2br apartment but rooms are not normally 300 sqf. A 2/2 apartment usually has following "rooms": 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 2 storage closets, HVAC closet, laundry, and a living room combined

Whatever regulations there are now had been set in place after the transition to gas happened, so I wrote "in order to transition to gas".

As far as I know, nobody banned wood stoves in the US in order to transition to gas. People transitioned to the better option of gas themselves. As it is now, gas is a better option than electric not just for heat but for other appliances t

American mains are single (split) phase 240v, your country's are likely 3 phase 240v. Your appliances are likely hooked to 3 phases simultaneously with a 20A breaker so they can get 12kW, American 20A hookup is only good for 4 kW (240x

These are state laws. Alabama, for example, does not share enemies with Israel nor is it involved in any geopolitics. So it's extremely unusual to have such laws even in one state and in this case there are dozens of such states. Do yo

This is besides the point, but just like the lack of official language does not mean there is no language in the US or it's not important, the lack of official religion does not mean there is no religion or it's unimportant.

'In God We Trust' is the US national motto. It's literally this string of characters and nothing else. Regardless of having official language, this law looks unambiguous: any other string of characters is not covered by the l

You can live in any decently big city without a car. I know people who live in LA as such. It's just inconvenient and more expensive.
