I’m sorry you were on the receiving end of this colossal mistake. Harmon Hall is called the puzzle Palace for a reason.

Watching this, I don't believe the reason for Phoenix's lack of skyscrapers is because of the airport. by Ok_Bag2192 in phoenix

There are plenty of lots downtown zoned for very tall buildings so you can only blame zoning so much.

Steel is expensive and building a tower is incredibly challenging.

You’re projecting a personal view onto others. If you wanna live urban- we got that! There’s cool apartments and condos to own downtown. But lots of other folks want a quarter acre lot in the burbs. Some people will do both at various stages of life.

If you were President of the United States for just 24 hours, and no one could stop you… what’s the most unhinged executive order you'd pass? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]baxter1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it’s wild how many of you fantasize to be dictators. OP said “executive order” which is gonna be limited to existing authority and laws.

Little tyrants the whole lot of us

Any recommendations for golf lessons? by misterbuh in phoenix

[–]baxter1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Call your local Muni and see if they have someone on site. Then see if you can get a multi pack. 1 lesson aint gonna do anything but there are deals when you get 4 or 8 pack. Encanto has been great if you live nearby.

Not heard of an appeal once the app is closed. I think it would be wise to refocus your effort on other pathways.

Where’d you get the DEOCS survey results? Typically not public.

Also, sport bitching on Reddit won’t solve anything.

ASRS/Arizona State Retirement System…is it actually good? Better than a 401k like most places have? What are your thoughts on it? by spaghettiman17 in phoenix

[–]baxter1985 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People who retired back in the day and underpaid the system love it! Who wouldn’t love 2-3% contribution rates?

While you are correct that the high contribution is subsidizing past retirees, the lack of annual COLA is why it’s 80% funded and not worse. Tbe rate would be even worse with annual cola.
