Your argument boils down to righteous dignity. You presume that it's below another person's dignity to live in, gasp, 500sqft. This is obviously nonsense. I've lived in less. It is…

Seconded. Well researched goodie. He spoke with a wide variety of sources to get his data right. From essentially homeless to Eli Broad - the B in KB Homes.

Straw man - generally the idea of YIMBYism is to be more inclusionary, so that 3+ stories is allowed not required. In contrast, SFH-only zoning is exclusionary.

Perhaps context will help: Pacific Northwest (PNW) here. Seattle. EDITs: More specific in location.

IT'S BACK

With enough zoning it absolutely is, not to mention the lead time required to permit and actually build it. Once built depreciation kicks in - housing isn't permanent. It's a consu…

The answer is because a resource is at play that is finite: land. If all the productive land in an urban area is effectively owned by foreign investors and left to sit, then renter…

They also tend to move less and stay in the same district for a large percentage of their lives. It's a lot easier to vote if you only need to sign up once and the same process app…

For good actors. Brings to mind the Cobra Effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cobra_effect

Bingo. That explains it.

This is because small and micro sized units are literally outlawed by many local zoning laws country-wide.

Sure, but post-WWII the federal government injected billions (in 2020 dollars) into the pockets of mostly white veterans to build millions of homes. The federal government also pro…

Buffett & Munger agree with you. (paraphrasing here) Munger cited Costco as an incredibly important, effective, and efficient institution that couldn't be replaced by a non-profit …

On the face it's certainly selfless, but the causes and recipients of the massive sum are important. Certainly you'd think differently if the recipients were foreign militants, no?…

Does your 7 have the intel or qualcomm sku?

This topic is much broader than just online JSON tools. There are all kinds of converters, transformers, and linting tools available online for many languages and frameworks that y…

There's another big one in southern Spain which I saw from the air on a flight a while ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PS10_solar_power_plant Here's the famous SoCal one which i…

> Aside: Is there a similar tool for macOS? For small strings, you can paste in Spotlight Search and re-copy to strip formatting.

Doubtful they'd be able to compete with any terrestrial provider on price. Perhaps on performance.

Yes. That use case would be enabled... at a commensurate price.

Thank you for pointing this out, I thought BRK.B had no voting rights. I looked it up and learned that BRK.A shares have 6.66 the voting power of the equivalent dollar amount of BR…
