stop thinking like libertarians. judges know why hotels exist. even if there aren't specific laws, a judge will tell you that when you checked into a hotel, you had no expectation of establishing residency so get the gently caress out. this isn't one weird trick to live at the W meanwhile airbnb is definitely not a hotel so lol if the owner thinks they get the same protection.

Fuzzy Mammal posted:someone post a plausible chain of consequences leading from brexit to popping the tech bubble. i'm edging here stock market opens two hours from now down 3-5%, will stay low for a while. people who planned on cashing out to buy their $2 million San Francisco condo get nervous and the real estate market stalls. companies that are powered by stock based compensation (Uber, tesla, LinkedIn (lol @ Microsoft)) have a real problem when their stock stops growing. advertisers cut back on negative economic sentiment, causing Google and Facebook revenue growth to slow significantly, leading to their stock prices taking a big hit. dollar becoming even stronger, hurting Apple and Microsoft profits. all techs decline on sector pessimism. venture capital dries up, startups begin to fold. real estate is now declining in value, and some people holding mortgages on million dollar houses are losing their jobs and unable to find new ones, leading to short sales.

yeah, I don't really believe in a significant decline in real estate prices in the Bay Area. plus it's amazing how many people I talk to that are "waiting for the bubble to burst" to buy, not realizing they are all competing with each other to keep the price high and are still all behind cash-only Chinese investors in their purchasing power

H.P. Hovercraft posted:in california the state specifies the lifecycle for stuff like carpet and wall paint in the rental law which landlords are held accountable for exactly. if you did not do abnormal damage beyond the normal wear and tear of living in the place then you are legally entitled to your full deposit plus a cash deposit rate of interest accumulated annually (which is almost nothing). rear end in a top hat landlords try to take your money when you leave counting on the fact that you don't know this. also rent control means that once a tenant is in place, a landlord will do the absolute minimum legally required in maintenance and let the place go to poo poo until that tenant moves out.

apparently you guys aren't clued in to how Bay Area million dollar homes are bought. nobody making six and a half figgies is taking out a mortgage on most of a $1.6 million house. they wait until their stock options vest / mature / rise enough in value, then they cash out about a million dollars, and take out a mortgage on what's left, which is totally manageable with their computer toucher salary. which brings me to my other point, which is that many people's compensation is far larger than their base salary, especially if they work for a company whose stock price is rising. saying someone makes $150k in SF can be misleading because that person is getting stock at some vesting schedule. in the short term they're pretty broke but after a few years of pipelining stock grants on overlapping vesting schedules, their takehome total gets much higher.

the last couple of years buyers have been competing with all cash, no inspection offers from Chinese buyers. it's really bad now. in some areas prices are up 100% in 5 years. totally not a bubble, though.

Godspeed You!

I'm not a googler but my understanding is that if you're willing to commute a few days a month down to mountain view, you can work on anything they do there from a remote office. unless you work on hardware, that is. of course, never trust anything a recruiter promises you. ask the hiring manager.
