Yeah, some larger organization have a good admin and legal support structure around it, so it feels frictionless to the applicant. But it is a total slog, and can take years to materialize.

Yep. Prolonged vacancy is bad too. Usually pest problems are highest when moving in, and then keeping a place clean and occupied is the best way to maintain pest-free apartment.

It's great to see big-o opinion coming back, rather than the wishywashy on-one-hand-on-the-other congenial dreck of a lot of internet content. Author thinks it sucks and you sure end up knowing it as a reader.

When a human driver must emergency break for a downed branch, it'd ok. When an AI does it, it's unexpected and needs to be hyperanalyzed. I swear, the trolley-car problem is absurd, it's poisoned all debate. 99% of crashes is

People picture the wrong thing, usually soul crushing tower block. Picture Savannah, Charleston, small college towns, ... Dense, but spacious, accommodating, lush, verdant. If the surroundings are low quality, then yes, density sucks. If th

The problem of low housing supply is not a problem of capitalism. It's of nimbyism, restrictive zoning, car-dependency. Capitalism's hey-day was late 1800s and cities ballooned like crazy.

> find accents from other English speaking countries fairly charming Agreed. In addition, I feel like Americans give out more of an "A for effort" vibe in response, whereas Europeans are more like "nice try n00b".

It's a european thing, not just french. Same in other languages. People are highly attuned to accents and geographical differences they imply. It's frustrating as a non-native speaker. English is "neutral" ground. Americ

Yeah, the language factor is hugely underrated. I think it's less the money aspect, and more the fact that American society is more bland, uniform. It's easier to fit in. In Europe, unless it's a true international metro (ams

Right, the article talks about isolation more as if going on a spa retreat. In reality, an actual hermit will more likely tend to be an antisocial misanthrope, rather than a caring neighbor.

If it's overview you want, you'd want more glass, larger windows, heck, cab forward/over designs. All these big vehicles are submarines once inside.

No. This was multifamily, and we occupied one unit. Wrt default, not sure wrt all the details with property liens, but isn't that only when you don't make your monthly payment, regardless of income?

Banks are that stupid. For loans, you demonstrate expected rental income, based on rents of comps. We were in that exact situation. Just provided estimates based on a listing search. Question of vacancy rates or whatever did not come up.

I don't disagree. Come to think of it, Dave Chapelle lives in exurban Dayton. Must not be too shabby.
