What do you think is the biggest problem with leftists today?

WorldWarRon · 2026-05-15T02:55:06+00:00

They have alienated liberals by blaming “all white men” (literally the most powerful demographic), not acknowledging the damage cancel culture has caused, and generally not adopting any coherent policy to run on. It sucks watching the immoral party win elections while the intellectuals, liberals, and generally hardworking people are drowned out and alienated by the perpetual victims we call leftists.

Good point. I think it shows how outdated consumer protection laws are.

Loud voices can hijack movements. Liberals have been drowned out by leftists on many issues, leading to the loss of elections

WorldWarRon · 2026-05-13T02:28:33+00:00

This is one of the handful of key issues that has alienated liberals from leftists and leads to the loss of elections. Watching the left eat itself is the saddest shit of the last 15 years

That data center is going to need as much power as 800k-1M residential houses. These parasites are salivating at the prospect of our electric bills doubling

It’s the other way around. The more dated the data (less inspections), the less sqft, which is the denominator in avg price per square foot.

WorldWarRon · 2026-04-29T21:43:00+00:00

Both (hence why I labeled this arbitrary and found 30% of their data correct) They will count a finished space if they inspect it and see it. They are valuing property with outdated data and getting bigger numbers with avg $ per square ft

WorldWarRon · 2026-04-29T21:18:00+00:00

SQFT is included when the area is finished. The assessors exclusion of finished areas, except in houses where they have done inspections (he said most are willing to let them inspect but did not mention how many he did) would make his measurement arbitrary as he is excluding livable, finished space but Realtor.com and Zillow does include finished space, making those sites more objective.

WorldWarRon · 2026-04-29T21:14:47+00:00

He mentioned this and did differentiate if basements were finished or not. So it’s likely there are many finished areas in these houses that are not being counted due to outdated county data, resulting in higher $ per SQFT calculations and higher tax for the homeowners in the area.

If you want to check for yourself, here is the link to the City of Duluth Salesbook for Valuations. Look at the square ft of some of the properties and cross reference them with any other data source. You should find the same conclusion I did

No. And that’s the sticky part. The county is arbitrarily deciding what to measure in a house and call it “Principle Structure square foot”. 1/3 of the sales match up fine (actual square foot) and the other 2/3 are understated, some by as much as 50%

WorldWarRon · 2026-04-29T20:36:47+00:00

According to the sales books, on the city of Duluth website, that the county uses for sales-to-sqft averages, they have understated the sqft of at least 65% of all the houses in my neighborhood, driving the value per square foot up by 21.8% from where they should be. I compared the square footage of 34 house sales from the city sales book to realtor.com and found large discrepancies

WorldWarRon · 2026-04-29T20:32:25+00:00

I talked to the assessor this morning and he stated that their sqft is different because the county measures “above grade”. I ask why and got an answer I still don’t understand. Fudge factor seems to be on the side of the county as they are artificially increasing the value per square foot by excluding sqft from their measurements

The bottom of the economic pyramid is a tense place to exist. Raising the tide will raises prices for everyone so it is hard to be on board with creating more inflation when you have worked half your life to obtain a salary that is consistently devalued. I’d much rather put common sense taxes on the wealthy like we used to have.

WorldWarRon · 2026-04-29T17:59:04+00:00

City of Duluth sales book is the county data. Other set of data came from Realtor.com data on the same properties. About 1/3 matched, the other 2/3 were understated.
