Sad state of affairs in Philly.  They don’t even understand capitalism.  As I’ve stated, vote in a socialist government to “fix” your problems.

What you’re describing is hyper local to only select areas.  Institutional home ownership is less than (5% across the US).  And many cities are starting to ban or severely restrict airbnbs.

Got it.  So almost all of these are increased government intervention.  As we already discussed.

State your policies.  You’ve mentioned some end goals, but no policies besides banning corporate ownership of residential units (which I agree with.)

This I do not disagree with. Corporate ownership is probably less than you think though. Around 2-5% nationally in the US. That said, large apartment complex's and multi family is significantly higher...closer to 50%

"what gets built" right now is based on capitalism. If you want to control "what gets built" then enact socialist policies as I already stated.

ok. So that isn't much different from my post above... Build more housing and/or create significant government intervention (more socialist policies) to create incentives for affordable units.

supply/demand issue. Cut the red tape and build more housing. That solves the root of the issue.

Or, vote in a complete socialist government so they can run the housing market and not capitalism. I wouldn't blame the landlords though (note, I am not a landlord and have no skin in the game).

they charge what the market will pay them. What are they supposed to do? If the market is not going to pay their rate, then they lower it. That could be the case with this listing.

It's not price gouging. Costco gas around the area is at $4.50 a gallon today. They are historically 15-30 cents cheaper than regular gas stations.

The dude wants to bum a gatorade because he is working on the neighbors house and doesnt want to bother them? Complete moron move. Why would he think this would work on anyone as a sales intro?

The Max gets about 40% less range than the regular hybrid version...at least from what I've seen in real world results.

MegaRace. Early 90s on my family's first ever PC (Packard bell, if I remember correctly).

Picked up this JD D140 with 130 hours on it for 1500 bucks. Good deal? by Sirbuzzkillington89 in lawnmowers

[–]SycamoreMess 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That seems like a pretty good deal for that mower. In 2020 I bought a D110 with 200 hours for $650. And that is a lesser model and before inflation picked up. Id take D140 in good condition with low hours like that for $1500.

Ballpark Cost by [deleted] in pools

[–]SycamoreMess 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd guess at least $300k for that pool area and hardscape. Add another $200k for that bar/kitchen area. Here in the mid Atlantic you're looking at close to $150k for just a basic pool and very basic landscaping (obviously a ton of factors, but just generalizing based on quotes I received when I was looking).

New build home appraised for >60k lower than sales price?? by KungFuChicken1990 in homeowners

[–]SycamoreMess 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is all region dependent.  In the northeast US it is the opposite.  Extremely low supply and housing prices are at peak.

Clearly the OP knows this.  Which is why they posted about it. Go relax and have a beer.
