This thread ended two months ago. If you’re going to revive a dead thread at least try to make coherent comments instead of producing a string of incoherent profanity and insults. In other words, post sober. If you really are sober your reading comprehension and more is just plain shit.

This sounds more like someone deciding that the mechanic’s time is worth less than buying good oil and brakes. Even at a ridiculous 3K mi change that’s a 78K mile/yr pace on a car that most likely was retired from police duty before it became a taxi. In other words the vic cost them very little to begin with. The CV…

A car is supposed to spend about 100K as cop car before it becomes a taxi.

A house is a capital good. It must be maintained and cared for. It’s cosmetics, structure, and systems all deteriorate over time. If these are not cared for, repaired, and replaced the value will drop. Just like any other sort of capital equipment, building, etc. It is used up over time. Buildings are replaced when…

Land appreciates sometimes. Houses, buildings, are depreciating assets unless money and effort is put into them. Unless the buildings are being enlarged/improved all you’re seeing from maintaining them is an inflationary gain which you then pay taxes on (if not rolled into the next place you live) so it’s a net loss…

Race is a proxy for economic resources and social networks. In other words the two things that can cause cops a shit load of trouble in their careers and lives. Race is used as short cut to determine if a person is someone the cops can get away with abusing. If the cops think they can get away with abusing you, that…

Indeed. Very true. I entirely agree with that. There could be many more that don’t care at all or believe he should be able to use his driveway as he wants but are silent. But the argument presented boils down to ‘it’s 67 to 1' so I was addressing that. I find it annoying that people think freedom means the freedom to…

It tells us it’s theater and the TSA knows it is theater.

Still attacking people rather than debating facts, arguments, and ideas I see.

It’s a trailer. It doesn’t make noise. It doesn’t smell bad. It just sits there.

“Fuck this product of trigger warnings and participation trophies.”

Where I grew up the guy two houses down had a giant pickup with an even bigger camper in the bed. This thing was huge even for even modern standards. It took up nearly his entire driveway. Neighbor across the street had a large camper trailer. He made a gravel area to the side of his driveway for it. Then another…

That was very odd.... it’s prudent to have a camera watching the trailer. Don’t want to be on camera? don’t go near the trailer.

“If 67 people don’t want that eyesore there, it shouldn’t be there.”

Some towns and HOAs ban pickups from driveways. The pickup would have to go in the garage and the vette outside.

A house is a depreciating good, like a car. It’s not an investment*. Sure the land its on can become more or less desirable, but the house itself suffers wear and tear that must be addressed not only by maintenance but with the replacement of components and systems over time.

Furthermore considering property taxes…

The loaded question is another characteristic of the small mind.

You attack people, not arguments, not ideas. That’s what the smallest of minds do.

There was a 1970s electric car that had trailer mounted generator.Don’t remember the name of it. They probably built less than a handful of them.

And you’re still stalking me across gawker making snipes.
