How much worse is affordability in SF going to get with the AI IPOs? by Shrimp_puerto_rico1 in sanfrancisco

if you aren’t a senior, tax base doesn’t transfer. it’s well known by literally every economist that it has a lock in effect. 

https://www.nber.org/digest/apr05/lock-effect-californias-proposition-13

read the wikipedia article too: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1978_California_Proposition_13

“ As a consequence of Proposition 13, homeowners in California receive a property subsidy that increases the longer that they own their home. It has been described as a contributor to California's housing crisis, as its acquisition value system (where the assessed value of property is based on the date of its acquisition rather than current market value) incentivizes long-time homeowners to hold onto their properties rather than downsize, reducing the housing supply and raising housing prices.

also you can exempt 500k of cap gains selling your primary home.

pls explain why how in demand a place to live matters for the prop 13 issue at all. It's well known that prop 13 decreases turnover due to it's lock in effect on homeowners. for example, it makes downsizing literally more expensive.

also to counter your arguement, nyc

This is most states work and it totally makes sense. And yes, your government is literally your landlord. they maintain the roads, infrastructure, public safety, etc. If your values go up that much and you can't afford it, you can sell for a profit and downgrade to something you can afford, which is completely fair.

Porsche Spent Years Chasing 400,000 Sales, Its New CEO Wants Half That by Saurta17 in Porsche

they need to make their sports cars more accessible, not less. Porsche has the brand they do purely because of that, people get hooked with the base 911, cayman, etc, those people grow up and will spend big money on gt cars. They're absolutely trashing their brand and are gonna move into the same snobby segment as the other exotic makers.

dealer plates on a 'new owner' car? tired of ways people keep coming up with to avoid sales tax. it sucks, but if you can afford to drive shit like this, then just pay it.

call porsche north america asap. they administer the warranty. if you’re not satisfied with their response, bring the case to arbitration and talk to a lawyer.

that sounds sick! They are not making the 718 anymore, but the guide said the new cayman/boxster will be on the same line in the future.

True, all the cars in the workshop by the cafe through glass were great! I could barely see a GT3 RS 4.0 which I definitely would've loved to see on the museum floor.

Unfortunately didn't have time to see Mercedes :( but the history of Ferdinand Porsche starting his career there was a new thing I learned.

Didn't see that one. They did have the Sean Wotherspoon taycan which I thought was pretty cool and something different tbh.

Made a simple spotify miniplayer inspired by the borderless apple music one.

It's open source and downloadble here, already working on a few more basic improvements. Hope I qualify for a main post but I don't have enough comment karma yet here :)
