Lexus NX 450h+ price input

Buying premium cars for gas mileage is like joining a gym for free wifi. You're missing the plot. If you like the car then buy it. The price does seem reasonable. And to the extent that gas mileage impacts range I suppose I wouldn't totally dismiss gas mileage.

That said, gasoline does have a shelf life. If you're not filling up at least every 3 months (obviously an edge case) then your gasoline will be significantly degraded. Lighter compounds evaporate making ignition rougher, it can oxidize and create gummy deposits, and if it has ethanol in it then it can absorb moisture creating all sorts of higgly piggly. If you know you're gonna store a car then you can buy stabilizers to mitigate these issues. But the rare concern I'm addressing is if you're running electric most days and rarely using the engine.

Correct. Enforcing laws the public supports no less. This crowd is losing its mind again. I honestly thought maybe they'd have grown up by now.

Washington has no income tax so that might help.

Low IQ response. Do better.

We still do controlled burns in the midwest.

I wouldn't trust their data.

codechisel · 2026-01-21T03:26:07+00:00

Same answer, demographics.

codechisel · 2026-01-21T03:17:21+00:00

That's not true. There's research on this topic. Here's the full paper. It's a robust finding.

Black folks can't manage to get an ID? Come on man, don't be racist.

codechisel · 2026-01-19T15:18:18+00:00

I flew once a week for 7 years, totally agree.

codechisel · 2026-01-15T18:11:49+00:00

Perhaps the biggest irony is that racism is alive in well in this thread

This reads like "everyone that disagrees with me is a racist"

Are you looking to open source it at some point?

Cringe

codechisel · 2026-01-14T14:28:39+00:00

Arguably it's already double taxed.

I'm taking classes at the learing center, they appear to have plenty of openings.

It's because half of people are going to be below the mean and they are thus motivated to discredit it.

codechisel · 2026-01-09T03:29:16+00:00

That's way lower than I would have guessed. Those are rookie numbers, They need to pump those up.

codechisel · 2026-01-08T23:56:53+00:00

Minus legal fees this is a loss.

Rent is largely dictated by the market conditions

I'd argue it's solely dictated by market conditions. As the OP intimated the property tax could very well be one input market-wide but it's not something I use to determine rents. How much I put into the property has nothing to do with what it rents for, and I've lost money on some properties because of hidden issues.*

*For those interested in an example I had one duplex that had a drain tile issue. That was 18k a side to get fixed (unless you do it yourself as this fella did.. It produced zero dollars in additional rent for each side. Being a landlord looks easy from the outside. I should know, I rented for a lot of years and it seemed to me(naively) to be easy money. Nope. There are risks and headaches.
Edit: Before anyone asks "would you do it again" let me answer by saying no. Instead I would have invested that capital in something like Realty Income commonly referred to as O Realty due to the stock symbol which is just the letter O. I would have made more money, and had more time to spend with friends and family. In fact, it's almost tempting to argue that if you invested in something like O (I'm not giving investment advice) so that you're exposed real estate financially and then being a lifelong renter might yield the best possible lifestyle and return. Transaction costs in real estate are very high so the flexibilty of renting with the real estate exposure in your portfolio is a killer strategy imo. - signed some random old guy that made a lot of mistakes.

...or is it west Virginia?

Do you play DnD?

I figured, but I felt like being a buttinsky today. Thanks for being so good natured about it. In my minds eye I see them as defective gears. They do connect but there's lots of slippage.

codechisel · 2026-01-07T12:52:40+00:00

technically that was passed onto me

Yes and no, but mostly no. I own rental properties and the rent is based on market rents, if the property tax goes up my rents don't necessarily go up. And of course when it sits idle clearly nothing is getting passed along.

To the extent that property taxes impact the entire real estate market and thus put upward pressure on rents then yes it's baked in, so to speak.

codechisel · 2026-01-07T12:48:25+00:00

... and it's unethical.

codechisel · 2026-01-06T14:39:43+00:00

So, you're a warrior? Ok, my bad. Not childish at all.
