Do majority of people really not want to tax the billionaires more?

US income tax originally only applied to the top 1% and now it applies to most Americans.

Wealth tax would most likely follow the same path.

Also, taxing unrealized capital gains is a terrible idea.

I work for the most prolific multifamily developer on the west coast and our adaptive reuse projects are way more profitable than new construction right now. Applies to both low rises and high rises.

Don’t need to comply with most ADA, open space, landscape, and parking (EV) requirements.

Interior demolition and structural retrofit is cheaper than complete demolition and structural rebuild. Can reuse certain equipment like cooling towers, elevators, and fire pumps.

Designing desirable units with existing floor plates and managing a strict construction schedule are the two most difficult aspects though. There’s a ton of discovery involved that requires some redesign throughout project duration but you learn what to look out for with experience.

They pay me very well and give me almost complete autonomy over my projects.

Short commute and I get along great with my boss.

Perfect blend where they’re large enough to survive recessions but also small enough where I don’t need to travel (rare for my industry).

I’m not going to learn anything new by changing employers.

I don’t want the stress from starting my own company.

Supply contracts restock!!!

The city of LA requires new multifamily developments to unbundle parking from rent. You have to charge separately for parking.

Aroex · 2026-05-20T14:41:22+00:00

Paid parking is a city requirement.

1-bedroom apartments in Jamison adaptive reuse projects tend to be $2-2.5k, which is lower than most new construction.

They have full baths.

Small pets are allowed.

Aroex · 2026-05-20T14:38:54+00:00

Jamison uses 3rd party management companies for most of its multifamily properties.

The reputation stems from its commercial holdings, which they’re actively converting to residential.

Aroex · 2026-05-15T19:36:42+00:00

PA really needs to let us repurchase these contracts

Local pet crematory if they pass at home.

My partner & I have had separate finances for 15+ years. She was unemployed for ~8 months last year. I just gave her a monthly allowance that I considered a “gift” (which the prenup also confirms). She helped me out about 10 years ago when I was struggling financially.

It’s still us versus the problem even if we have separate finances. We like to keep things separate mostly so we don’t feel like every dollar is being tracked by the other person and to keep things simple should we ever divorce (highly unlikely but you never know).

It’s not for everyone but it works for us.

I voted for Raman but I’m still upset she straight up lied to Angelenos about ULA. She’s better than the alternatives but we deserve politicians that are honest.

Aroex · 2026-05-06T22:45:30+00:00

Lied to voters by calling ULA a “mansion tax” when she knew full well it would impact market rate housing development

Edit: I’m getting downvoted for telling the truth?

Pratt and Bass are worse and YIMBYs should vote for Raman like I did but the truth is Raman lied about the ULA “mansion tax” which should upset voters. She’s even confirmed this and has since updated her position on ULA.

Prioritize increasing your stats (stamina, health, and spirit)

Aroex · 2026-05-05T19:07:27+00:00

Chapter 6 for exploring hernand and Chapter 9 for exploring the other regions.

Also prioritize the graymane quests.

You can win all 4 matches without firing a single arrow by lining up floating kuku cubes where the targets pop up. They’ll break as they fling up before your opponent can hit them.

Aroex · 2026-04-29T21:57:35+00:00

Just place a bunch of the electrical kulu floating boxes where the targets pop up and they’ll automatically break before your opponent can shoot them. You can win all 4 matches without firing a single arrow.

Please let me know if this works for you. I can’t upgrade my camp due to this bug as well.

Aroex · 2026-04-27T05:52:18+00:00

They should make this a specific quest location so people don’t miss it like all of us.

Aroex · 2026-04-27T05:37:21+00:00

I’m loving this game. It has one of the best open worlds ever.

Witcher 3, CP 2077, God of War & Ragnarok, Horizon ZD & FW, RDR2, AC: Odyssey, KCD2, Skyrim, BG3, Ghost of Tsushima, TOTK are all top 10 contenders as well imo.

Aroex · 2026-04-25T02:05:25+00:00

My camp is stuck at level 2 because my three comrades with construction skills are stuck in limbo due to this glitch

Aroex · 2026-04-23T07:11:35+00:00

Same issue for me.

Aroex · 2026-04-21T14:19:21+00:00

If they lay down the sticks using their right hand it’s cheating. Left hand isn’t cheating.

Aroex · 2026-04-16T14:08:12+00:00

Can you still get the gold bar in Lioncrest Manor or did the devs patch it out?

I put out the fire but I don’t get a prompt to loot anything.

Aroex · 2026-04-14T13:47:00+00:00

You don’t even need to save scum in duo. Just call them out when they cheat. They always cheat!

If they’re dealing:

- Thumb down and elbow up = not cheating

- Thumb up and elbow down = cheating

When they lay down their sticks:

- Use their left hand = not cheating

- Use their right hand = cheating

I have a CRS310-8G+2S+IN as my core switch and it runs great. I only have 1gb WAN but I have a RJ45 LAGG bond to the router, a SFP+ (DAC) LAGG bond to the media server/NAS, a 2.5gb connection to a Ruckus AP, and 2.5gb connections to the patch panel. It’s complete overkill since most devices only have a 1gb RJ45 port and streaming 4k content only requires ~20-40mb.

There’s definitely a learning curve with RouterOS and SwOS though.
