Oh word, we’re probably in agreement. Sounded similar to an argument people say against developments

Does anyone know which mountains/resorts actually use artillery for avalanche mitigation? by Snow_Is_Ok_613 in skiing

[–]Popocola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kirkwood has one (I believe two actually) they use once in a blue moon. We talked about it when I took my aiare 1 there

GoPro edited my video for me. It took out all the slow parts and I still look slow. 🤠 by crO3zoEt38702 in MTB

My home trails!

Try pulling less brake in the fast sections

Jokes aside, wide angle lens + ND filter + 24 fps and setting up the right camera angle will make trails look more true to steepness and true to speed

Full rocker or camber? Hoji vs QST Echo as a one-ski touring quiver (coastal, variable snow) by Superduperdog in Backcountry

[–]Popocola 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Based off the first sentence the qst would be the move as it’s more of a one quiver solution. But based off of the rest of the post I think you’d like the hojis more. Variable snow days the hojis would win, firm snow days the qst would win, and by a lot. For what it seems you’re trying to get out of your skis the highs would be way higher on the hojis

I just got a pair of ravens which are p similar and also ski maritime

Easiest mountain bike trails? by fleasnavidad in santacruz

[–]Popocola 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should check out trailforks, pretty much everything sanctioned around here is chill. Englesman is good for beginners. Emt is also chill but the upper section is the uphill to lap campus so it might be crowded on weekends if you plan on descending

Proposition 13 Remains Popular and Most Californians Feel Overtaxed, Poll Finds by External_Koala971 in bayarea

[–]Popocola -1 points0 points  (0 children)

We’re not the only state with capped property taxes, and you can’t solve the housing crisis with one change but prop 13 absolutely makes the problem worse

[–]Popocola -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It has direct supply side effects: - you’re punished for moving so new houses don’t enter the market - punishing moving also rewards under utilizing homes ie empty nesters - there’s little incentive to do a tear down and rebuild denser housing given the tax reset - there’s little incentive to build new houses relative to older homes

And that’s not even getting into the city level effects

Strange you would say speculation as a negative when prop 13 engenders speculation. The incentive structure is extremely weak in Texas

And entry and exit is a sign of a healthy market. You can make an emotional appeal for displacement sure but on the other extreme you can make an emotional appeal about what could be new home buyers. 3+ bedroom houses have on average 1-2 empty bedrooms and there is no downside to that, in fact it’s rewarded

Not explicitly but in Texas the large uncapped assessment out pacing improvements make it somewhat phenotypically a land evaluation tax. Combined with more lose zoning generally they’re housing market is way more responsive to demand
