My read is that they are charging him for “talking his book” which for short sellers is often viewed as misbehaviour. I look forward to reading the details (does anyone know if the details are public?).

This is definitely happening (see Calgary as a great example, converting 17-18 buildings from office to residential). Not all buildings can efficiently be converted (floor plate shape/size, etc), and some municipalities are slow to upd

What are you talking about? Solvency is defined as the “state of having enough funds or liquid assets to pay all of one's debts”. Your statement couldn’t be more incorrect. Debt to equity/assets is the key consideration. Too much

This is inaccurate. I am in the industry. Appraisals are 100% based on face rates rather than NER and it is common to “buy up” the face rate by offering higher tenant inducements (cash) and free rent. It makes sense too from the bank’s pers

The pulsing was unexpected and I am glad they had a section explicitly explaining this. > First, fires have a clear day-night cycle. They typically flare up during the day and die down at night. Is this just due to nighttime temperatures

I think Xenophobic is exactly the right term. Many suburban zoning rules were designed to keep blacks and hispanics from being welcome - forcing them to stay in the city centers.

Mostly it isn’t about banning single family homes - it is about allowing for things out than single family homes - i.e not requiring them. I admit that some diehards want to band them outright but I think the majority just want zoning to

There is no rationality. It is a justification for “I’ll get the most I can now and push the externalities on some future fool”. It is no different from traders hunting buffalo to extinction. They got their money, consequences be damned.

Oh come on man. He clearly tried to subvert the last election and came within steps of his VP being killed by a mob he encoded while trying to certify the election. This isn’t just a fear campaign.
