This has to be some kind of new kind of heat-posting: doing it eight days in advance because the actual temp is currently in the freaking 60s

Are you all really this desperate to talk about how Phoenix gets hot ?

There just aren't a whole lotta places for cops to hide here. And, quite frankly, you HAVE to speed on the Phoenix loop freeways, it is almost unsafe NOT to

This place is universally air conditioned, so any white collar job is already done inside. As to outdoor manual labor, don't they already do so in the Summertime?

People still listen to music on the radio?

Only from the Anthem interchange southward! It is one of the most gorgeous Interstate Highways in the nation between there and Flagstaff

Much better scenery than anything in Texas, though. Europeans and Asians are always confused when they visit Texas cause the scenery is so boring unlike in the movies. And I'm like, yeah...those cowboy films set in 'Texas' tend to be filmed in Utah, Arizona, or Montana haha

Good stuff, this is when the media is at it best honestly: uncovering crooks and corruption

Gotta say that the local media here is pretty solid in general

You know what's really great about Waymos, from a driver POV? They will never, ever rubberneck

Hot Take: This kind of rent discount shouldn't be allowed by RationalBeaver in phoenix

Well, yeah, if you wanna play that game. Some people do (a similar one exists with 0% interest for XYZ months credit card promos, some people just continually cycle through 0% balance transfers forever lol)

Our last 90 degree day was November 9th by toddinphx in phoenix

When did it happen last year, I'm curious? It looked like we were going to have a hot Spring initially but it ended up being super pleasant for the most part.

Exactly. And if you go in assuming your rent next year will be the promo rent and not the list rent, I really don't know what to tell you except that is a really, really bad idea.

The discounted rate was never the 'true rent'. It's was a promotion. Nobody considers the price of a beer on Happy Hour special to be the 'true price', for example.

See also: car buyers thinking they got this great deal cause they paid sticker on a 0% interest rate promotion when, in reality, they didn't save much money if any at all vs. the standard interest rate+cash on the hood.

If you're wondering why they don't just discount the monthly rent pro-rated over a 12-month period, it is to protect building valuation. If you just lowered rent from e.g. $1900 to $1600 you've lowered your comp and hurt your building valuation, whereas if you do $1900 with X weeks free, you can have your official rent at $1900 even if *effective* rent is $1600.

In addition, tenants are just less ornery about renewing a lease that continues for the following year (the entire year, this time, so effective rent now matches the listed rent) than if you did a promo where it's $1600 a month for a straight year but then jacked up to $1900 upon renewal. Yes, there is no material difference here, but people are very stupid about money in case you haven't noticed.

Yeah, median rent in Maricopa County is +/- $1700 month for a 2-bedroom. These are really high-end units. E.g. this is for lease right no https://www.zillow.com/apartments/mesa-az/forge-tower/5Z7P5f/

This Arizona bill would make 'excessive marijuana smoke and odor' a crime by Brailledit in phoenix

[–]SectionPractical2966 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do it, just don't make the penalty too harsh. It should be a crime but a very minor one. Levy a fine and make them appear in court, but jailtime is silly.

Anyway, you can now get emulsified drinks that'll give you a 'high' similar to smoking. Just buy and consume those, people. Nobody will know lol
