Yeah I disagree with Pete Rates on 8 just because I don’t believe there’s going to be any substantial closures at all. It’s just oodles of free money and 15% profit is still insane by almost every other business standard and you just know they’re going to work around that and still get 150% profit because of course they are most retail operates at around 2-3% net profit margins for reference. In the event there are; j hope we can get state run or nonprofit facilities instead The prop really should be establishing state run facilities and banning for profit ones instead, but eh it’s a start Xaris fucked around with this message at 03:30 on Oct 12, 2018 |

Shear Modulus posted:How does capping rent increases paid by all renters benefit only "well-connected" (to whom?) renters? If you're a landlord in a high demand area and the price you can charge is fixed, you're looking for a tenant whose income is big enough and job is stable (so they'll pay the rent on time), and has decent references/doesn't seem insane. Beyond that, they're all pretty much interchangeable. You can probably find someone during the last tenant's 30 days notice without trying very hard (landlords mostly wait normally because they can get higher rent for someplace that's empty, clean, and can be shown whenever someone wants to come by and it more than compensates for the time it's empty between people). Most cheap places will probably be "the last tenant is still here, we're showing it on date X for an hour or two, someone will have rented it by the end of the day" or skip ads entirely. It's not a horrible outcome or anything, but any system (including free market) is solving how to allocate housing when there's more people who want to live somewhere than places to put them. Someone gets pushed out, so think about who that is and if it's ok. And think about how the system impacts building new supply, since that's going to be what determines housing pressure in the future.

Lol I just learned about the crazy people at Beverly Hills High School trying to stop the Purple Line, this is wild. https://twitter.com/laura_nelson/status/1050794105825980416?s=21 The school is bussing a bunch of kids to a park for a two hour “walk out” protest to ask Trump to revoke federal funding.

Supposedly it's fear that the tunneling will destabilize methane gas pockets beneath the school, but Metro has done a bunch of studies on it and it's not a problem. Also the alternative was tunneling over a fault line which doesn't seem great either.

Republicans successfully hijacked this Victimized Vietnam Veteran mentality and convinced a whole new generation of vets that asking for handouts is pathetic and weak except when applied as an emotional cudgel and whattaboutism against other pet issues like feminism, racism, immigrants, etc.

Recessions coming. Id get a few grand ready to liquify into stocks after we hit deep recession. And you calgoons that live in fire territory need to really think about adjusting your home insurance to 30% above value if you even think your house could burn. Im lucky but most of my neighbors who have lost their home are facing an 25% markup on construction cost and cant loving pay without taking content out of their home. Dont do this to yourself.
