The point is that you got money to build the building, who cares what happens later

My wife’s cousin had one of those monstrous kitchen islands in a McMansion that they built. It was pretty bad, as you couldn’t open the dishwasher or oven at the same time (not sure why you would). And if either of them were open, you literally couldn’t get past, as they filled the entire space between cabinet and island. It was so dumb how narrow that space was to make room for this 5 foot across island (guessing, but it was huge).

lol I saw the flipper listing for my previous place and every scrap of visible wood was painted stark white. thick slab fireplace mantle? WHITE. Built-in kitchen table? WHITE. Every cabinet, WHITE. It was already not great because they dropped the ceiling a full foot to house some office-chic flourescent lights but turn the whole thing white and it became a blinding featureless white void. that'll be 475k please

A big thing that’s lost is they don’t actually want to give people housing, institutionalized or otherwise. What they want is to use the threat of imprisonment to force homeless people out of city centers and nicer areas and the cudgel of criminalization and institutionalization is the easiest tool to use The Portland safe rest village experiment is the best we’re getting and the hope is with criminalization coming in a couple months they don’t even have to have those villages in the city and they can make it the poor part of the county where nobody ‘important’ goes problem

I guess states without a robust citizen initiative process didn’t get in on it? It’s always wild to see these huge annual property tax bills coming from a place where you can have million dollar homes that are assessed at $150k valuations

Pair this with a bill that legalizes forced labor from institutionalized dependents of the state and we've found a way to make the roaring '30s or something

i say swears online posted:Texas is way better about this than cali. there's only a maximum 10% yearly raise on appraised value and you can't be grandfathered into low taxes forever so people mostly pay what they're 'supposed' to pay. my job is to deal with people mad about what the county thinks their property is worth and therefore how their bill is calculated last I looked into it nyc computes two values, a real property assessment (large) and an assessment for tax purposes (small). if you want them to reassess you have to show that your property is worth less than the assessed value for taxes, so basically impossible. clever way to prevent anyone from getting the house reassessed while getting whatever tax revenue you want by changing the percentage based on how much of the smaller value you want

So their strategy is working I guess.

So their strategy is working I guess. Interesting I didn’t see that but in Oregon outside of Portland the urban areas transition really quickly into rural areas due to how state land use laws work and there’s a ton of BLM and forest service land so I could see it being the case, although the homeless population counts ale rely on aren’t particularly rigorous (and done in the middle of winter to depress numbers)
