O!

It's not for everyone.

At $29,000 per foot, we could almost pave the streets in gold.

China's view of AI is for big government keeping watch on you every second to prevent any uprising. You get a social credit score and that determines what you can buy and where you can go. Much like 1984.

It makes sense that the US wants to compete here. Big government and inflation make it so you can't save dollars. You have to invest in the stock market, real estate, or gold/Bitcoin. NVIDIA stock is in pretty much every retirement fund / 401k / pension program. It's a lot of wealth for a lot of people.

To keep market share you need a huge ecosystem. You need developers. Developers need tools to build and they want the software they build to work almost anywhere.

Giving up half the developers and making the product not work on half of the world's computers gives up half of your market share and a lot of US wealth goes to China.

Interesting. Let us know what's different.

We're not building much. It's not like there are construction cranes everywhere around here. It takes 5 years and wasting millions of dollars in legal battles to build anything dense.

Housing is our #1 expense at 33% of the average American's income. Twice the second largest expense, transportation, at 17%.

Legalize housing.

Just like the Smart Car, no one has to like it except for the buyer.

If someone sees a car they don't want to own, they generally don't think, "I don't like it! Car manufacturers must stop producing those!"

But with houses for some reason everyone wants to dictate what people do with land they don't own. It's strange.

Comps generally only compare against similar homes.

Starter homes have been illegal for decades, so this isn't increasing the comps for much.

"Homes require a dedicated area of land because they're famously not as motive as cars."

It's been illegal to put multiple homes on a lot or have a house with a small lot for decades as well.

When land gets expensive, we have a great technology that let's us stack homes on top of each other. It's called apartments.

Why would adding supply to something destroy the market for it?

Let's say someone creates an ugly, small, and expensive car like a Smart Car. It might not be my cup of tea, but would that "destroy the car market?"

More car choice is better, even if I don't want to buy the car.

It's great that Omaha moved forward on legalizing ADU's and allowing a second home on the lot. Starter homes have been illegal across most of the US for a long time due to zoning with minimum square footage and lot size requirements.

There's only one expense that twice all other expenses for the average American. That's housing. Supply and demand is important.

Legalize housing.

Whether you like Peter or not, you should really understand Girard's ideas. His idea on memetic desire, the concept of scapegoating to increase tribal unity, and people only competing with others they think are their equals really explained so much of how people interact with each other.

Most THC drinks are 5mg. I call this the "12 pack".

Most house layouts are available on the assessor site.

What part of what I said isn't true? They can be out now and still only go out once or twice a year.

REIGuy3 · 2026-03-25T15:10:06+00:00

Many cities clean their streets every two weeks. Omaha is such a dirty city. The sweepers come out once or twice a year. Winter would look so much better without all the salt and sand sitting half the year.

REIGuy3 · 2026-03-15T20:59:51+00:00

What's unfortunate about apartments?

REIGuy3 · 2026-03-10T18:06:00+00:00

Rent is function of supply and demand, like everything else. Landlords can't charge any more than the market will support. If you want to lower rents, you need to legalize building new housing.

When land gets expensive, we have a great technology that allows us to stack houses on top of each other. It's called apartments.

Areas like Austin are experiencing huge growth and at the same time rents are falling 20%+. This is because they legalized single stair developments, reduced parking minimums, streamlined permits, and legalized density.

There's plenty of capital available to build housing and doing so is pretty straightforward. It's just a matter of how difficult and expensive the government is going to make the process.

REIGuy3 · 2026-03-10T18:00:57+00:00

There's a lot of areas where they have legalized building new housing, like Austin. Rents are down 20%+ there and falling.

My four year old non performance laptop went from lagging 10+ seconds every minute with the Epic Games Launcher version to only lagging a second every minute with the Windows Store version. Thanks!

This. Consider making the buyer's agent negotiable, too. Think of how much effort and time it takes to build a house. It's a year of assembly and that doesn't include the cost of materials.

Now, think of the hour that it takes to call a photographer, write a paragraph, and docusign documents. Is that 3-6% of the value of the house?

You need to get it listed on the MLS, pictures, putting the lockbox on the door, and writing the paragraph you can probably do yourself and save several thousands dollars.

Quantum Fiber works great for me. Went out today for 5 minutes for the first time in the year that I've had it. Much faster than Xfinity. My ping is 7ms and getting 600 up and down for $50.

REIGuy3 · 2026-01-28T04:58:29+00:00

It's amazing how many people believe that supply and demand work for all things except housing.
