have sympathy for them, they are in a cult.

what you are missing is this is part of their ideological and self identity. Their “independence” is used to help explain away their faults. For example, they likely can’t afford their registration, and reason their way around not needing to do it. Maybe their car would pass inspection as well. They also see the fact…

nobody would disagree with you on that.

they are right, she doesn’t deserve the proceeds of the sale, she deserves the full amount of the car. They owe her an as good or better vehicle for their F up.

this has nothing to do with ev’s and everything to do with the fact that we are hanging alot more “other” shit on these poles. There has been a push to better monetize pole infrastructure, e.g. leasing pole access to others, like fiber, telecom etc.

I don’t know what you were expecting. It is a tow company...

We as a society can’t get ahold of the 10% s*****heads in politics, i don’t know how we are supposed to control those in the off-road community. 

Don’t get me wrong, Affordable housing CAN be profitable, but it is constrained by the same metrics as “luxury”. You occasionally find a fund backed by someone with a “good heart”, e.g. Oprah, that is willing to take lesser returns and build more that way. But making housing the good hearted whim of the rich is bad…

I have no idea how to explain all our challenges. But i’ll try to keep it short. much better in person, so hit me up if you are ever in ATL.

Entitlement (the right to build what you want) takes 1+ years. This is VERY different from the 50's-60's when housing was cheap, as you could literally just file a plan, and…

not zipper merging, but instead moving over early and snarling traffic BEFORE the merge point. Or worse, blocking 2 lanes cause you think you are morally right to block “cutting”.

I’ll just leave this here as a start: https://www.businessinsider.in/policy/economy/news/rents-in-oakland-have-fallen-faster-than-anywhere-else-in-the-us-for-a-simple-reason-the-city-built-more-housing/articleshow/104424632.cms#:~:text=Median%20monthly%20rent%20for%20a,helping%20ease%20its%20housing%20shortage.

i build so called “luxury apartments.” Do you really want me to answer the question as to why “affordable” are far harder to make? Like seriously, it is a long answer, you won’t like it, and you’ll complain about the realistic problems and challenges that I’ll describe. But I’ll gladly grab a coffee with you and talk…

so... stop making housing so hard to build. 

stupidest door design ever.

yeah, see my bet is that it wasn’t a corporate “branch”, but a franchisee. Who was facing losing the $100's of dollars of the rental. It doesn’t excuse them, but they likely had no idea what is going on either. And it isn’t like corporate Avis has a way to make it right by the both the franchisee and the renter. 

I’ve left the republican party, because of trump madness, but the democrats are going to lose next year. If you can’t buy a car or a house in 4 years cause prices are too high, then no matter how “good” the economy is on paper, the working class won’t feel it, or believe it.

Of course they are. How did you not see that coming?

If you are handy at all, and maybe not affraid of electricity, you’ll be able to service your own battery pack. So much easier than you think. 

on our new development properties, which are partially EV ready, we are about 5-10% of units are EVs. The fast chargers help, as people plug in their cars, hit the gym, or walk their dog, and then re-park. Some properties it can get as high as 25-45% on the coast. But you balance that against the fact that in denser,…

I’ll wait for the report. But based upon what I have seen that isn’t the issue here. Rather it looks like a beam on the center of the garage shifted or twisted off its supports and then the disconnected and one side of the slab area fell.
