The only thing near as bad is a dry cleaner.

I’d be interested in touching base. I do MF development. Seems to be the only way to reliably mediate gas station land these days. And you are 100% on point with your posts. 

so, yeah, vacant commercial land is mostly useless and remains vacant for decades. They have a false value. Some can be redeveloped, but most not. We have zoned too much commercial out parcel land in most municipalities.

Have him call you back when he tries to exit those gas stations. It’ll be a nightmare. 

Of course this was going to happen. Higher interest rates always kill off bad ideas. This is one of them. Chargepoint itself has a high cost product with low value to anyone who seeks to implement their product. 

The whining from the delete crowd on this is so ridiculous. The EPA really needs to step up enforcement and stop resales of deleted vehicles as well. I know it will be a huge work effort, but its the only way to put an end to the deletes. They all think their vehicles will be “worth more” with a delete. 

Funny, because owning an Aston definitely tracks with the crazy hot spectrum too .

yeah, none of that is true. There is no such loan that prohibits taking lower rents. There are terms that require debt coverage ratios. Or owner’s who get in over their heads and sign balloon payments that require bank intervention. If someone has told you that, they are telling you... maybe a 1/4 truth. No bank wants…

Yeah that landlord comments is BS. We don’t let inventory site. What we also don’t do is sign a sub-performing lease when we can wait 30-60 days and get better rent.

anytime you want to meet up for a drink in ATL area and go talk through how we can have better places to live for everyone I’m all for it. I’m just trying to build good places for people to live. 

Yeah, not BS. Like this is literally part of my job. You are missing the infrastructure cost to get power to the site. Most buildings aren’t 3-phase, or don’t have the transformer capacity. Your $1k is also for a non-managed, non-metered, non-ganged plug. We can’t install those. Also not taking into account, service…

Electrical load is negligible. But infrastructure cost is high. There is plenty of capacity. 

So you want higher rents to go with your be charging spaces? I say this as I develop apartment buildings. It costs us about $20k per space for charging. On a 400 space deal (-350 apartment homes) your 25% is $2m or $5,714.29 per home. I’d have to raise rents about $35/month across the board. Or a 2.2% raise on a deal…

these aren’t properly marked. And also, why I prefer different speed control methods. 

OHSA fines escalate. Which is why Tesla’s lawyers will spend $100k in legal fees getting the $30k one off the books. They are designed like other fines (stormwater) to be progressive. They aren’t worried about this fine, accidents happen in the workplace. They are worried about the next one and them being labeled as…

I’m very liberal. But not dumb. Isolationism leads to world wars. In the past 2,000 years there has only been 1 country that has been more devoted to peace, safety, and stability post ww2. And that is the US.

You can try to reason a shit ton around that statement, but it holds true.

Give me the money and I’ll build you 23,500 2-3 bedroom homes.

this is stupid argument. You increase the requirements and licensure of guns, and thus restrict the entire market of production. Every gun gets tied to a licensed person to have it. If it is found in the hands of someone else or stolen, they are still responsible for it. It’s not hard.

I lived in AZ, CO, & west TX it was always a shortage. And of course we always complained because we didn’t want to send any water to CA. Now being in GA, it’s like a different world.

They just build lakes of water. For fun. it’s weird.

maple syrup that crosses state lines isn’t maple syrup anymore....

water shortages are real issues though. We all have water restrictors on our showers cause of lack of water out west. 

Now that is a big fing project. What i’m surprised about is how cheap it has been. Not enough is talked about how successful it is.
