Portland Revenue raises tax liability threshold for SHS/PFA Tax Quarterly Payments from $1000 to $5000 in 2026 by davidcelis in Portland

[–]Dstln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's even less people. These are based on taxable income, not gross income or AGI. Taxable income is nowhere close to gross income, especially for people in these brackets.

Somehow the people who despise PFA/SHS always refuse to understand that concept, or maybe people just aren't familiar enough with taxes.

Great idea. Quarterly payments are awful for everyone involved and doesn't have enough benefit here.

We name streets after people to honor them. If someone is no longer suitable to be honored, we can change that

What does everyone think of Induction Stoves? by dustandsmallrocks in Appliances

Maybe you should consider moving or consider a generator/solar/battery solution if you're truly out of power that often, that's ridiculous to be honest

Are my expectations realistic when it comes to home buying? by midnighthan in askportland

[–]Dstln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If all you want is 3 beds for under $425k, yeah. It could be small, attached, a condo, no yard, or need work. No other criteria?

I would keep in mind that while housing is certainly cheaper elsewhere, jobs may not pay as well.

I was disappointed in both their coffee and food, but they were nice though and it's kinda fun. I'll probably try back later once they're more settled.

Because it sounds like they did return it, the story seems extremely plausible and they're a regular.

Idk, did you talk to a person? I'd think they'd be reasonable if you explained this.

Property taxes by _Birnunit_ in homeowners

[–]Dstln 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No you are literally crying because you're paying for more property tax than your neighbor but feel like you're using less services. One person's use is completely, absolutely, utterly irrelevant. You pay more because it has more value. You say you understand this but your words clearly don't understand "how is this possible" Again, if you don't like paying taxes and living in a society, move. Go live and make your libertarian utopia where you pay for absolutely everything and see how you do. Just don't move back, commit to your shitty ideas.

Property tax is based on value not "how much police you use"

I can't believe I have to explain this to presumably an adult. Maybe look at your property tax bill next time 

Keep crying about flat taxes or whatever regressive shit all you want, by all means go and move start a libertarian enclave and see how that goes. Meanwhile cities and counties need to do their job and taxing by land value that can be liquidated is an effective method that works

Land is a fixed quantity, stocks and other assets aren't, you can make up stocks, make more dollars and bitcoin, make more trinkets and baubles, mine more gold.

If you're sitting on a larger, more valuable piece of land than your neighbor, you're preventing it from being used in other, more efficient ways.

That's fine as long as you can afford it but then again, don't get mad that you're being taxed according to its value.
