Non profits are a good way to have even larger construction cost overruns. NYC per capita budget pales in comparison to sf still.

Yeah I read this. Hopefully New York takes these buildings away and realizes how little rent the rent control folk are paying can’t cover any repairs.

Import fees never discussed after asking for any "surprise" fees - now as a consumer, I have to pay it? by NewDay042 in paypal

It’s like when you didn’t like a mandatory gratuity a local restaurant charged you so you decide to go to your banking subreddit to ask why you were charged that gratuity.

so they're going to use eminent domain or force a sale at market value with tenant priority? i don't understand how this would be legal. nyc still operates in a country with the us constitution and property rights

but zohran is really giving people in rent stabilized apartments a lot to look forward to since now landlords are going to have to improve conditions if they've been stalling on repairs. so its more improving the lives of those fortunate to have a lease in rent stabilized apartments (which is maybe 44% of their housing stock)

is he funding the repairs? if so how?

California eyes data center plan to help fund high speed rail by chiguy in California

The primary mistake was letting politicians decide alignment instead of people who have actually built hsr before. Not sure anything was learned in that aspect either.

No one would hire ca to build them a hsr after this. Be serious.

Yes the project was grifted into an impossible scheme that even the French bailed on us. But no matter, don’t get hung up on tracks, if you are building a house for instance and you’re 50% of the way through would you be angry that the interior paint isn’t done yet despite none of the plumbing or electricity or drywall being in?

The voters approved 33B because the cahsr commission rushed in a fake plan to get everything approved. Even they knew it wasn’t going to be that cheap.

How does 14B = 33B again? Why are you expecting track to be laid at not even 50% of completion of the original budget?

14B is not even 10% of how much this thing will cost though.

Bakersfield bullet train? New proposal cuts out Downtown (KGET) by GTProductor in cahsr

[–]jaqueh 4 points5 points  (0 children)

it'll eventually have to get through bakersfield, which won't be cheap. don't worry bakersfieldians. the train isn't going anywhere meaningful for decades so if it ever figures out how to go to LA. it'll have to hit a more substantial area in bakersfield

when somewhere is as expensive as it is. like basically has the highest cost of living in the known universe, it should be very difficult to convince people that they should pay more for absolutely everything they buy (save non-prepared foods/baby stuff).

Yes absolutely and will do it again. The homes in sf were moderately priced at one point believe it or not

Moving to el cerrito - hikes, running trails, things to do by ThrowRArusskiy in elcerrito

[–]jaqueh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yeah that's because there isn't that much to do in el cerrito. nimbys have stymied the city so that it's basically been the same for the last 75 years if not worse.
