I just think the difficulty of selling is a bit over-stated when talking about reasons people rent. I really do believe the large majority of people renting are doing so because they can't afford to buy.

I do appreciate that your fantasy alternative to house ownership is owning a condo and not renting an apartment. The difference is single family unit vs shared walls, not owning vs renting. In ideal situations, I think almost everyone would

"Cost" Paying rent instead of a mortgage is a cost. If the rent is bringing in less money than the upkeep costs of the property, why is the landlord renting it out? There's an entire segment of the market that is priced out o

I’d love to see some numbers on the percentage of current renters that would prefer to own.

Doesn't UberEats/DoorDash already do this sort of thing? My friends seem to have a perception that they do.

Yeah, this is a descriptive slide, not a prescriptive one. They're celebrating that they've made pay equitable enough that the variance in pay across protected classes is within 1% which I think is a commendable goal... It seems l

JerryRigEverything did his usual scratch test with an AVP and the "front glass" scratches with picks of Mohs hardness 3... What kind of poor quality glass is this? Maybe it's just the coating that failed?

Ah, I didn't consider that aspect. I live with my wife who is an artist so I'm never really alone at home. If I was single it would probably be a little more isolating, yeah.

I think it all comes down to if you have a social life outside of work. I do, and remote work is a dream. For me, having more time and energy for parties and events is quite the opposite of isolation.

I know. But your comment seemed to imply that railroads are much more recent than slavery when there is in fact significant overlap. This type of subtle historical revisionism is used to distance ourselves from the horrors of slavery. I don

My friends are all setting up Plex servers that we are sharing with each other. It's like having constant access to your friends' media collections. Because it is.
