Phil Moscowitz posted:This looks insanely cool (or hot I guess) I 100% recommend spending a day/night at a ryokan in Hakone. That was a particularly expensive outing because I also rented a R34 Skyline GT-R and did a full-day driving tour with Fun2Drive Japan. That cost me about $500. One night in the "cheapest" room at the ryokan we stayed at was about $700 USD with half board. So that was a multi-course Kaiseki dinner and then a traditional Breakfast. The dinner was exquisite. The breakfast was way more food than me or my fiance could eat. If you were to do a trip like that I would recommend spending a full day in Hakone and night at a ryokan and then doing Fun2Drive the next day. Because the driving tour went late, and then an accident in the canyon road turned a 10 minute drive into an hour, we didn't get to truly enjoy the ryokan, bath houses, etc.

Sometimes I wish public baths and stuff were more of a thing in the US. Then I think about how often I'd want to claw my eyes out.

Ours was 184AUD a night with a gorgeous view.  Very easy to do Hakone on the cheap, as well as the rest of Japan. Megabound fucked around with this message at 11:23 on Feb 7, 2020 |

Megabound posted:Hakone is gorgeous, we stayed at an inexpensive Ryokan that had 2 private baths, was amazing. This is true. The ryokan was a splurge. After that, we went to Hiroshima and stayed in like a $50/night Airbnb near Peace Park and had probably the best meal I've ever had in a small hole in the wall restaurant that only did omakase.

I want to go to Japan but only for the onsens. Just a tour of hot springs and baths and maybe that water park where you get to bathe in tea and wine.

So that cheap 70s / 80s 8x4 basement wood panel sheets that used to be abundant at home Depot / Menards places no longer seems to be. Anyone know where to get it? I want to toss it on one wall in a retro themed room where I may additionally add shag carpet, but perhaps just as a rug.

This 1910 Beaux Arts mansion has so many gorgeous details but I am just going to post the fireplaces. The 9 fireplaces and there are probably more that the listing isn't showing.       hmm yes this is a great photo to use in an ad for a $900k house   It's almost a crime that they didn't get a decent photographer.

So if that's a 1910 house, are those columns on the front solid stone/concrete? Or are they some kind of facade over steel or wood posts?

Looked up tax rate there, looks like it should be more like $50k. Maybe that's why it's first, some super tax deal.

Property taxes sometimes remain flat for decades, then leap up to modern rates after a major rennovation.

Mine are $10k for $325k house (valued more around $425k now) outside of Philly which is comparably high to the towns with lovely school districts but that’s basically what we’re paying for. My mother in law is moving down here and wants to be in the same town as us and for some reason we can’t make her understand that there’s no reason to pay the extra $6k in taxes without kids in school.

His Divine Shadow posted:Our property tax is like 500 euros a year. because of the high degree of local autonomy and jurisdictional fragmentation in the american system of government, the major source of local city/county funding is property taxes. nearly all of this goes to schools, and a little bit left over goes to public services, emergency response, some utilities, etc. The Bloop posted:Haha renters don't pay those because landlords definitely don't pass the costs along lmao loving idiots i've always appreciated times when folks who like to vacantly complain about undocumented people leeching off public services would start whining about how they don't even pay into the school system, as renters i guess they also buy groceries at 0 sales tax too, somehow

True, though usually it's 'renting is just throwing money down a hole' economic puffery on the homeowners side, rather than thinking they're getting out of some financial obligation the other has to deal with. The real reason buying a home is infinitely superior in every way is, if you fall down on the mortgage and the bank take your house, you can stick them with having to sell stuff like this
