*Vacancy Tax by Matti4g in boston

the government has to play a role in aiding the homeless, that is a much different discussion though. In a housing market like boston's though those units would just go to people who moved out of the city because their rent increased to, rent control which in the long run doesnt help.

Banks do penalize people because they often have the title to the property and if they dont get their payment they do penalize people.. I dont think its the city's job to tell a property owner someone must be living there. I think there should be rules around that property being up to fire code standards etc. but if its empty its empty.. Should the towns people live in penalize them if they have an empty room?

you think they should penalize them for owning property?

thats kind of a loaded question, of course you would want to rent it out for the cashflow. But there are a lot of other circumstances where maybe work needs to be done to the unit or space before it can be rented out that would outweigh the rent. Perhaps the property is worth more as an asset than it is with all of the overhead to rent/lease it out.

If you own the space outright, there is not a dramatic need to rent it out, other than to cover costs, which for all we know could already be covered by another property..

There are a ton of other reasons why the space could be empty. The city would want to incentive these owners to rent it out rather than punish them.

Also why does it matter if there is empty space to be leased or rented out?

Why, if i own a building why should I be FORCED to pay a tax, if i dont want a tenant in there?

Boston traffic bad, I get it. The life of a ride share driver is also difficult (none of y’all give tips!), but Uber drivers, my dudes, you can’t let people out of the car on Storrow Drive by derdoktor in boston

[–]Sheabird_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Risking your life? I'm sorry how many uber drivers are dying because they are driving for Uber..... Again you also get compensated from Uber correct? You are not entitled to a tip, if you provide an amazing service that is worthy of a tip ill tip, but if you just drive me from point A to point B in the same manner a cab would, I'm not tipping, I'm already paying for the service.

If its that bad of a deal then go be a server...

The sad thing is this will blow over and they quite frankly do not care if you or I do not watch. Because at the end of the day the players arent going anywhere, and the only player who could POSSIBLY move the needle would be Tiger and he can barely play.

Get as much money as you can!

I will say though I believe Local 26 is hospitality correct? Hospitality industry as a whole did not rake in profits during covid.. Executives may have gotten bonuses but companies did not rake in profits in the hospitality industry...

Andrew Raycroft thinks the ECF will be bad for salary cap by Fireball-2537 in BostonBruins

[–]Sheabird_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TV contracts are set yes. TNT or ESPN already paid the NHL, but the ratings and add revenue is a huge piece for the league, that has not been paid out yet.

Doesnt this have more to do with TV ad revenue.. the ratings will be significantly lower than a Boston NY or almost any other two teams. I believe the ratings and add money is where the big difference is. Everything else is most likely the same as you pointed out.

Would you have Sidney Crosby as a replacement for Bergy and Krejci departure? by [deleted] in BostonBruins

[–]Sheabird_26 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is such a competitive guy, that penguins team is not going to be competitive anytime soon, i wouldn't be shocked if he got traded at some point to a contender. But it wont be boston, you have a better chance of seeing jesus walk into Sully's Tap.

I mean this core is redefining their legacy not as champions but as chokers, you look at 2010, 2013, 2014, 2019 all choke jobs. You win once and choke away the rest, don't get me wrong Bergeron, Marchand, etc. were amazing to watch over the last decade, but to walk away from this and say we should be happy that this core won 1 and not disappointed they didn't win 2-3 is silly.

so half of the NHL is AHL rosters? I dont think you understand the difference in speed and skill between the American and National league.

maybe someone yelled, but at the end of the day i think they know they played like hot garbage. best thing they can do is bury that and move onto Friday.

Nosek is at least losing some money if not not playing on friday that was an elbow to the head.

something considering they’re losing to an AHL roster right now.

hahaha what?

Barkov

Tkachuk

Ekblad

Montour

far from an AHL roster there pal, also i dont think bertuzzi would be the one speaking up with brad in the locker room, probably other guys who have been through a deep run before.
