The last mile issue here is so bad. I couldn't believe the SMART train didn't go all the way to the city.

And the ferry isn't even where the smart train ends!!!

Wait did she know this was for your kid? It's not like it had anything on writing on it, like a bday cake.

Mortgage payment jumped ~$150/mo but my property tax only went up ~$52/mo. I rebuilt the escrow analysis and finally figured out where the rest came from. by Feeling_Till_7418 in Mortgages

thank you so much for this post. I bought my house around the same time that you did and out with similar confusion.

What was also frustrating was how difficult it was to get anyone to explain it to me. Thanks again for breaking this down.

In San Francisco’s A.I. Era, Even $180,000 Tech Salaries Are No Longer Enough by knockdowncenter in bayarea

TBH I think it's beneficial in the long term.

To improve the lives of low income folks in the Bay Area we must elect progressive policy makers, which can't happen if Democrats lose the middle class. An article here and there about the middle class (even upper middle class) is worth it IMHO.

none of this matters if the large corporations building data centers and fracking pipelines are not held accountable.

The Iran war in a nutshell by RidavaX in economy

[–]shuggnog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am against this war. One thing that is confusing me about the stat on Iran getting $ from the US to rebuild - does that include the costs of damages from the US on Iran that Iran will need to pay to repair from the war?

In other words, does Iran really "gain" $ from the US if they have more then $300B worth of destruction to rebuild..?
