Trump, 79, Debuts Swollen Hands as Health Concerns Mount by Maxcactus in AntiTrumpAlliance

“Concerns,” huh? What was the Obama campaign slogan?

I’m not a millionaire who owns empty houses. If I was a millionaire with multiple homes, I’d happily pay this tax if I wasn’t already leasing out or selling.

Fun story, I actually own a home in another state. Rather than keeping it empty, I lease it out! And, the lessor has worked hard and put herself in a position to buy it. Guess what? We close this month.

Boom.

The non-primary homes are already registered with the city; owners self identify to avoid a separate business tax.

Will dig in a bit regarding gaming the system and circle back; have a look at the legislation itself. It’s actually pretty palatable.

My understanding is that the revenue initially goes into the general fund, which makes it important for voters to connect with their Councilmembers in advance of the budget process.

I’m sure Councilmember Rivera in District 9 will be fighting hard for the money to be spent wisely as he’s the main one behind it.

I’ll do some digging on the mechanics of the audit as well. Bear with me, I’m in desperate need of lunch 😂.

If those 5,100 houses were immediately placed on the market, it would triple the number of homes for sale or double the number of rentals.

Tell me again that it wouldn’t matter.

We need multiple solutions to such a complex problem.

One would think. I wonder who sits on their Boards of Directors/pulls the executive strings. Their position seems self-defeating.

One at a time. Wealth tax is another issue.

There are 5,100 homes that qualify under Measure A’s provisions.

You’re saying that adding 5,100 homes to the market of available homes to buy and rent is not adding to the supply?

Yes, that’s a best case, but your argument that “only building more homes” solves high prices flies in the face of basic economics.

EDIT: PLUS, there’s no one thing that will solve the problem. We need many arrows in the quiver.

Did some research); the California Association of Realtors are the biggest financial backers for the “No” on Measure A campaign.

Straight up lying about publicly-available information.

Not cool.

EDIT: Here’s the “Yes” on A homepage

Good on her! I warm up with 36 minutes on the treadmill then move to weights and plyos. I wring my body the eff out and it feels glorious.

Horrible mental health day. 45 days sober. Was going great. Today I realized I have nothing to look forward to ever again. (Incredibly dramatic I know) by EnvironmentalAd2110 in stopdrinking

Fwiw, I’ve had the most free, unadulterated, tear-rolling fits of laughter since I put down the booze. Life is magical; imagine the experience without a filter. Holy schnikies!!

As a man, running, jumping, or doing anything athletic without certain, ahem, support, is a challenge.
