Thanks I figured it out while my friends (who bought a lot of property) got rich and I waited for the crash. That's the problem right markets can stay irrational until you're dead.

Technically 8% inflation and 6% interest rates should be a great time to load up on debt and buy hard assets. Affordability seems to drive everything though which is why I've been wrong for 20 years about this. Who knows what'll h

London I think the glory days were late 90s and maybe 03-08. Esp when contractors were paying no tax. I think rates have gone up a little since then but cost of living has doubled or tripled.

100 years ago the population of California was 3.4 mil vs 6.7 mil in the Netherlands. Today California has 40 mil vs 17 mil. The problem is not "too many restrictions on development" its too much development, which has ruined the

I'm not sure what you're trying to say about the Netherlands. Actually I have a lot of family in towns around Amsterdam. Nimby rules are much higher than Bay Area, development is impossible in most of the land which is why there a

I dont understand the problem. The Bay Area already has 8 million people. Its busy already and water supply is limited. The residents have voted and agreed to limit development, keep the city as it is. This is democracy in action. If you wa

If the wheel is sliding the torque on the wheel will be lower than if the tires were grippier. I guess the comparison is if braking is high (de)-acceleration than the engine. I'm thinking your idea has a lot of the same stresses as eng

by rr888 4y ago
Because then you'd get a huge amount of torque between the brakes and the wheel, esp through the CV joint it'd be unnecessarily brutal. On the back wheels it could be possible, on the front (where most of the braking is) unlikely.
