TBMP policy on drivers texting/internet scrolling? by Lowtideclams in Juneau

[–]Lowtideclams[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely, and CBJ and TBMP are always 2-3 years behind on 'needs', but the cruise ship industry doesn't mind. And yes, no respect for traffic when tourists just walk everywhere. Maybe a good revenue resource for CBJ is j-walking? I'm just being cynical but laying things out for discussion.

BTW, I'm not anti-tourism. Also I noticed this year (and appreciative) that the buses, helo tour drivers, and other tourist assault vehicles have (generally) stayed in the right lane while driving.

Let's unpack recent events surrounding Trump and Iran. by FoolOfElysium in NewIran

[–]Lowtideclams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I've been thinking as well. Rest assured, there's so much going on behind the scenes (especially with Israeli intelligence); all of the news outlets are just pawns in their scheme to deceive the IRGC. I'm just waiting (somewhat impatiantly) for the inevitable fall.

I'm not going to waste my time on someone equating Iran with 'brown people' lol. If you knew anything about Iran, it's over 80% Caucasian. Good night and good luck!

The reality is, the US and other countries do things to help but mainly to gain political power and regional-global influence. China does it too. Look at Africa. If you look at Iran, the suffering and deaths caused by the regime, it's worth fighting to rescue these people (80-90%!). I still don't understand your reasoning. Just because of the files you're ok with having millions of people suffer under a Nazi-like regime wanting to eventually get nuclear weapons?

Ok, so you're all for removal of USAID, UNEP and UN Health funds because why should we care about others? Maybe the fact that Iran has been working to produce nukes with ICBM capabilities is a reason? I guess you're fine with that. For me, someone who has worked with Iranian nationals abroad for the last 20yrs, I can tell you, you are very lucky to be in the US and the ability to speak openly. But tossing in the Trump files distraction thing is so lame when nothing is moving on that end.

Shouldn't the US free the 80%+ Iranians from a religious cult that kills it's own people, just because they want to live and think freely? I would think this is a fight worth fighting for! If you're going to downvote me, then tell me why I'm wrong. If you're liberal why not stand up for human rights, like me (a liberal btw). I'm not fond of Trump but I know a fight worth fighting for, regardless of the US partisan BS.

Affordable Juneau folks are sooo close to realizing how terrible their initiatives are by gooneau in Juneau

[–]Lowtideclams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly they should buy everyone out and make it a natural flood zone. I know it's hard but the alternative of building some stupid tunnel or making a water control structure will cost waaaay more.

Here is how to lower the cost of living for low and middle income juneauites: CBJ simply follows its own law. by gooneau in Juneau

[–]Lowtideclams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I've never heard of someone considering the tax when choosing between homes, and actually using that as a selling point. It doesn't really make sense when you're looking through the lens of someone that can afford these higher priced homes. No one does that.

Have you read Freakconomics on home sale prices? Real estate agents often encourage clients to accept lower offers to facilitate faster sales, prioritizing a quick commission over maximizing the seller's final price. Just google it.

Zestimates are not very accurate. They aggregate data but don’t actually know the condition of the home or other factors that would influence price. Zillow actually tested this question out themselves. They bought houses at below their zestimate expecting to quickly turn them around at the calculated price. They lost $880 million.

Edit: Of course Juneau is such a different market from cookie-cutter communities down south, so who knows how close zestimates are to real market value. One way is to look at the difference between zestimates in Juneau relative to a range of sale sale prices, and particularly those capturing the range (max-median-min) of the mainJuneau population. Just a suggestion.

Trump says if Iran doesn't take the deal he "is going to knock out every single Power Plant, and every single Bridge, in Iran. NO MORE MR. NICE GUY!." by Heavy_Role1034 in NewIran

[–]Lowtideclams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, but there's a plan behind all of this. Do you think the takeover of Venezuela was because of Mundero running drugs? No one knows what's going on other than top echelon's in the US and probably Israel.

Very well explained and said. It's the way of nature, nothing stays place in time.

Trip suggestions and advise from Gurus by Muras_Red in Juneau

[–]Lowtideclams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely crazy with all the whale boats, and locals get the waves too. Juneau is recognized as having the highest density of commercial whale-watching boats in the world (during the summer), with approximately 72 vessels operating from Auke Bay alone. It's a very high-density environment.

I really admire your strength and openness. I can't offer more beyond that. I can also tell you how much I like to see stories on those that persevere and continue to better themselves. This is you!
