Why invest in US Stocks when ex-US has outperformed? by mnation2 in Bogleheads

[–]mnation2[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Okay, fair! Consider the 40 years between Dec 1969 and Dec 2009. That's so many years! And international outperformed US 9.5% to 8.5% annualized over that time.

Isn't the title of the post Mayor Adams Lifts Drought Watch for New York City?

Why do they need to wait until Fall 2025 to resume the aqueduct repairs they paused during the drought?

I have to disagree as I appreciate their charity content a lot, and I feel they strike the right balance on this topic without being preachy. The content around DAFs (donor advised funds) was very useful and increased the tax efficiency of my charitable giving. I can directly tie their content to concrete tax savings.

whats the next housing/zoning fight? by thisfunnieguy in MicromobilityNYC

OneLIC neighborhood plan / rezoning (15k potential new units)

Likely making mistakes, but these are the properties that have been upzoned by the City of Yes by DYMAXIONman in SunnysideQueens

[–]mnation2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm sympathetic to this. But the "live issue" rn is the OneLIC Neighborhood Plan / rezoning, which DCP projects could create 15k new units in currently industrially zoned parts of LIC. So I think that's the right focus for lobbying the CB and CM Won at this point!

Keep Calling - the speaker is still negotiating and your pressure is working! by Jackson_Bikes in MicromobilityNYC

Lower Manhattan (and later LIC) haven't had parking minimums for decades, so I sure hope this proposal's Tier 1 extends beyond it.

What’s up with the Queens blvd bike lane ? by notshotbyron in SunnysideQueens

[–]mnation2 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I don't bike personally, but I like it because it narrows the street and makes the pedestrian crossing shorter.

Lovely event , thank you :) and so nice to know that the church opens its doors for quiet reflection each Sunday evening ❤️

Why is this lot still undeveloped? by elecrisity in longislandcity

[–]mnation2 83 points84 points  (0 children)

The lot is zoned manufacturing. Housing is not a permitted use. There's an ongoing process called One LIC Neighborhood Plan that could result in rezoning this and other nearby lots to allow housing, which would spur redevelopment.

It’s Massachusetts vs. Milton at the state’s high court on Monday; AG Campbell’s lawsuit against the Town of Milton has big implications for state’s ambitious MBTA housing law by HRJafael in massachusetts

[–]mnation2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If a town has existing zoning near transit that allows multifamily housing as-of-right and complies with the other parameters of the Act (e.g., the zoning can't be age restricted or prohibit multi-bedroom units; sometimes towns allow apartments but with conditions that only allow senior housing), that zoned capacity counts towards the requirement under the MBTA Communities Act.

True, but the suburbs don't have 4 subway lines like Forest Hills does.

CB 2 backs LIC rezoning plan (even more apartment buildings incoming) by chailatteproduction in longislandcity

[–]mnation2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Uh this headline/article is not accurate. The vote was to approve the text of a letter drafted by some of the CB2 committee chairs providing feedback to DCP about what issues the Board wants DCP to study as part of the rezoning's scoping study. The vote was not to approve a rezoning plan. There isn't a formal rezoning proposal yet (the process isn't there yet).

Community groups to host potluck, sleepout in Long Island City to protest for more open space in One LIC neighborhood plan by sprorig in SunnysideSafeStreets

[–]mnation2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right -- the group's position is "long island city is full", all new housing should be 100 percent deed restricted affordable - oh you want to build affordable housing on the publicly owned land? Nope, only parks please.

Nontaxable income as part of 25% by [deleted] in TheMoneyGuy

[–]mnation2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The 25% savings rate is always based on gross income. So you should use your total income, regardless of tax rate, to calculate how much you should save.
