Nassim Taleb is an obviously very smart person who makes a lot of good points! But hes not always correct either.

Ok, fair enough. Youre right that the underlying truck is a good vehicle.

This is an ugly car and this sort of corporate stuff always cracks me up cause the subtext is that their current dealer experience sucks. And it probably does!

I agree that there is a lumber shortage.

This looks great. Kudo’s to Kia and i look forward to seeing this and its Hyundai sibling in dealers. 

The answer is upzoning and then building to density in desirable areas. Rich, entrenched white ppl in CA (to use your example) are nimby as fuck and refuse to allow density and transit which locks in exurbs and all teh traffic/commutes and CO2 emissions that come with it.

lol, well we are in full agreement there. For sure. 

im familiar w/the zoning changes in Portland and you are correct.. Builders will build to profit margins and also its perfectly predictable that there wouldnt yet be a building boom of multifamily homes.

Tehre are more total ppl in the Houston MSA than in the entire state of CO. Reality does not match your preconceptions. 

Lack of supply is the deal though. If there was a massive construction boom even with low interest rates the price wouldnt be skyrocketing.

Im in colorado my dude..i know prices dont go up only on the coasts. Were the most expensive area in the country not on the coasts. The point still remains though.. If the Front Range and Mountain towns (where ppl actually want to live) rezoned/upzoned well off/rich parts of town (or in the case of mountain towns the…

Holy shit is this all wrong. Housing is going up in certain areas due to zoning. There are a zillion places in this country where housing is cheap as shit and hasnt gone up much if at all. Housing would also be affordable in the Bay Area if the Bay Area, for example, built a fuck ton of houses. Just look at Tokyo for…

Color me shocked that some asshole businessman is a fraud. 

My favorites are the guys (and its always guys) who no matter an EVs range have a commute that is N+1. Every time.. just hilarious. 

I left Denver almost 3 years ago. Hope to go back and visit friends once we get vaccinated. But yeah, i believe its changed a lot even in the last 3 years. I was born near old mile high stadium and lived downtown a lot mostly cause i was poor and it was cheap. That is no longer the case :) 

I lived in RiNo/5 Points and Berkeley for many years and kept snows on just to get up into the mountains. But when in town i could mostly get by on walking/biking/our dumbly designed light rail system.

Sure, but literally no one will use this as a work vehicle. But yes in that case i agree w/you. 

Native of denver here - god bless you for buying snow tires. Denver gets less snow than it once did but still good on you. Makes a huge diff when the snow actually does fall. Like this weekend!

who the fuck is driving STL to Pitt w/o stopping?

This looks like a huge Compass. Its double the weight of my Subaru and a full 2000lb more than my Xterra. Fancy interior or not that is just nuts.
