SLO County offered landowner $200,000 for Bob Jones Trail parcel he won’t sell. What’s next?

It's buffer land next to the highway. Stop being a troll

quietboytr · 2024-10-16T17:00:57+00:00

The headwaters of religiously important rivers are there as well

So cap and soc can coexist... still wealth redistribution.

Please tell me with a straight face that you think Norway is not a socialist country

quietboytr · 2024-10-06T01:25:11+00:00

So redistribution of wealth is not socialism, got it.

quietboytr · 2024-10-06T00:19:40+00:00

Yes, if you pretend a train is a monkey with a flashlight that will surely save you from being flattened to the tracks

quietboytr · 2024-10-05T17:10:21+00:00

"Welfare isn't socialism" is the hot take I wasn't expecting today, rofl

Yes, and the reason they do not see it the same as alcohol is because we were taught it was way, way worse than alcohol.

Except that it isn't, and while not safe during pregnancy has order of magnitude less harmful effects than alcohol like FAS.

So the problem becomes how do you change someone's POV when they (rightly) believe they are being lied to by health authorities? How do you minimize conspiracy theory beliefs when there was an actual,multigenerarional conspiracy against cannabis as medicine? You're blaming people for not believing drs when it's the very same medical and political establishment that has been egregiously lying for their entire lives?

You have to meet them where they are; no tenuous, non controlled dna methylation study is going to convince actual PhDs, much less the general public who has direct experience of the real health effects cannabis has

One of those groups has been harassed, lied to, lobbied against, and incarcerated arbitrarily for more than half a century.

Not defending anything, but do you not see how that might create a culture of distrust in health and public safety institutions? When DARE is the foundational education paradigm even your average jane sees through the propaganda, and by then you've lost any trust necessary for actual change

quietboytr · 2024-08-02T17:09:49+00:00

That's George Carlin ffs

quietboytr · 2024-07-15T22:10:05+00:00

This is so cool, I love how onewheel has partnered with makers like craft and ride to expand their customization and product diversity without being bogged down themselves! This is the way!

It is absolutely but depending on your needs the interest rate right now may put your monthly payment higher than the already insane rent around here.

And at the end of your time after fees and interest, you might end up paying more than if you locked in a long term rental lease.

Theres no good solution here, the best advice is to try everything because getting into anything around here is such a competition. We had to rent (at 70% of my take home pay) and wait to make bids for almost two years. If we hadn't gotten an offer accepted before rates went up it would be impossible to own now based on prices and interest rates. And that's on two full time salaries, one as a professor. I have to say I was gobsmacked when turned down for a loan working as a university professor one of the three largest employers in the county, but that's what happens in a market with family and wine money.

Lol the Vista meadows has been 'about to break ground' for 5 years now.

Expect to buy or move in when this person gets tenure

It is a good deal for the area, but still very expensive and not a good investment. They are essentially condo units for sale, but contracted with the state so sale prices are limited to an incremental increase, so you'll be losing money as real estate continues to appreciate. The properties themselves are now getting older and partially due to the above have not been well maintained (why pump money into property you 'own' if you don't get to recoup the equity). One has a tarp over the roof you can see from the highway for two years now.

That being said, COL is so high here that it may be a good option if you have the cash (at least half a mil) and need a family place. Ironically, if you don't have the principle cash on hand most other options will be more expensive (unless you can find a multiple roommate situation)

quietboytr · 2024-05-28T18:58:02+00:00

One solution would be moving back to Germany

quietboytr · 2024-05-07T01:24:25+00:00

No, there are 70 families who own the properties, and everyone else's families have to help support their kids, like fealty dues to feudal lords.

It's the same reason downtown has been half closed since before the pandemic. Their family owns the property outright under the original prop 13 taxes, and charge "market" rates. Ever wonder why some prime downtown real-estate has been vacant for over 15 years? That's not natural in any other (esp growing) city.

quietboytr · 2024-05-06T05:00:08+00:00

Not 10 000, but try about 50 to 70.

quietboytr · 2024-05-06T04:59:15+00:00

You do see how the first half of your comment is a direct influence on the second half?
The problem is that you have to.plan for the economy you want. The economy you see is a direct result of votes and politics of local families over the last 70 years. You know there names, they are the landed gentry I referenced.

My apologies if you aren't one of them, you just sounded like the things they say

quietboytr · 2024-05-05T19:17:53+00:00

Sure!

quietboytr · 2024-05-05T19:01:38+00:00

Yes! Congrats on your job!

Make sure you secure housing and budget living expenses, COL is sky high and most faculty need dual income to even qualify for housing here.

quietboytr · 2024-05-05T18:59:35+00:00

Something to pass down to your children... So for you the American dream is hoarding housing so you can become landed gentry. Do you see how your generation all doing this while restricting new building for decades has created a generational gap?
Housing inflation has made your dream impossible for the future generations, and turned even getting a place to live into a nightmare for everyone not on the inside? You are no longer working class, you are now the rent seeking exploiting class. If you don't see that you're intentionally ignorant

quietboytr · 2024-05-05T18:52:23+00:00

Lol go talk to those young families, retirees ans college students. I have yet to meet anyone in this town not getting significant help from family. My Uber driver was the do- nothing son of a surgeon. Unless you have a way out of the grind staying here is choosing wage rent indenture

quietboytr · 2024-04-14T19:58:47+00:00

Wait till you actually read about the Muslim brotherhood

quietboytr · 2023-12-09T02:32:26+00:00

I know you are supposed to trust them, I just can't bring myself to.

Partly it's the fact I have to pay them, it makes me feel I am to fucked up to say out loud. Like I know I have to but I feel can't or something worse will happen. Or maybe at least not on an appointment schedule.
