I had to close my account to stop it. Also, it seems mainly people complaining about how a school bus drives through their neighborhood, etc.

This alone would have a positive impact. Do a ten year phase in or immediate upon a sale and most people wouldn't even notice.

Like it or not, property taxes already exist and are not going away. LVT is considered to be vastly more efficient than taxing based on improved values of properties. Where LVTs have been introduced they have decreased taxes for most reside

LVT has been used to revive declining areas because it disincentivizes what is happening in many of those places, which is rampant property speculation without actual improvements to the properties. Vacant lots taxed the same as improved lo

There are actual places where it has been used and is in use. Some even in the US.

Or we could just do the completely free thing that is removing rules preventing construction of homes where they are desired...

by zip1234 4y ago
Who said anything about a very high LVT? Where LVTs have been implemented, they phase them in and can make the taxes about the same as before. It will certainly increase taxes on people that are holding an empty lot in the center of town th

1. Post the comp levels if not available on something like levels.fyi. If the comp is above average, sell on it. 2. Make it a paid technical assignment. I don't think your process is unreasonable except some may object to the assignmen

There are already heat pumps that work at very low temps. Mitsubishi has models that are still heating at -13f

Nothing wrong with buying property that they plan on using productively.

Yes. I think parent referring to normal operation of furnace not smelling since a furnace is considered safe.

As you point out, the status quo is very much not ideal. Being dependent on oil/gas means being part of a global commodity market and refusing to buy Russian oil does nothing as some other country will still buy it. My point is nationa

If anything, countries should stop fossil fuels as a matter of their own security. The Russia situation alone should be a wakeup call for Europe. E-bikes, electric cars, solar, electrified rail, and heat pump systems should be a top priorit

The logistics of handling support for 2 billion users are kind of insane--it's a very difficult problem. I know people that work on support at Facebook at they do care about the users but it is very challenging to provide support for t

I don't understand why limiting the upper bound of speed when a user is using autopilot would be difficult at all? These cars can already recognize speed limit signs and have settings for 'how much over the speed limit do you want

by zip1234 4y ago
What would the reasoning be for this? Trucks are already limited in this regard and it doesn't cause catastrophe. Why should a company be allowed to knowingly break the law?

Meta employees can put a ticket in on behalf of family and friends to get an account unbanned if they think it was done in error. It basically just is a higher priority than normal tickets that users file themselves. My guess is that was wh

And Tesla should not allow setting autopilot above the speed limit...

Just a normal car makes an immense amount of noise. Especially at speed--tire noise.

I'm pretty sure the sirens are just as loud as they are because the people in the completely sound insulated vehicles can't hear them otherwise.

All good questions that are not actually answered when they make those decisions. What does 'need' mean? What is the maintenance cost of maintaining two lanes of road that might be needed in 10 years? Often road widening is based

I'm in the midwest and they are spending money widening roads and freeways while letting everything go into disrepair.

That piece of infrastructure (the entire highway for that matter) only goes from downtown Detroit to the outer suburbs. It is there for commuters.
236.
by zip1234 4y ago
There really is no reason to have this freeway there. It makes the area worse and goes nowhere.
237.
by zip1234 4y ago
Yes, introduce use taxes that fully pay for such infrastructure. Stop overbuilding everything--no reason to make a 4 lane overpass when 2 is sufficient.

At many big companies there is plenty of room for those types of people. They just need to be put in a role where their customer is another developer. They can see things from the developer perspective and can be plenty successful working o

Obesity isn’t putting others at risk in the same way. Cars endanger others. People make a special exception to norms for cars because it is hard to look past the convenience of them.
