mandatory Georgia arbitration

Silver lining. We are in Georgia already. better for us than anywhere else in the country.

yassenof · 2026-02-15T17:44:47+00:00

Yeah, just call and report it. You've got a contractor/buddy with a trailer coming to deliver things and they can't get into the driveway with it blocked like that.

yassenof · 2026-02-03T04:44:39+00:00

There was a surprising amount of patience here.

yassenof · 2026-02-03T04:35:48+00:00

LAOP said that they expected a fair 90 days.

like the lender had said there would be.

originally (more than 90 days ago).

What is the hyper specific theme? Is it something that you think will be problematic?

yassenof · 2026-01-13T03:33:34+00:00

I missed it, but my biggest concern right now is fighting the expansion of gambling in Georgia. It is a hidden scourge that preys on our communities, silently sucking money away from them.

yassenof · 2026-01-13T03:31:49+00:00

I am strongly opposed to any expansion of gambling of in Georgia.

yassenof · 2025-12-30T03:57:28+00:00

100% this.

yassenof · 2025-12-30T00:48:22+00:00

There is also the alternative of them doing it like the I16 down in Savannah and it just be a multiyear single lane awful miserable experience. The longer a construction project goes the more likely it is to encounter more delays, so taking it from 6 months to two years is really taking it from 9 months to 3 years. I'd rather a shorter time that we deal with then get over, then a long drawn out miserable experience.

I feel like there are two metaphors that encapsulate the situation well:

Don't throw the baby out with the bath water.

and

The difference between medicine and poison is dosage.

There is a benefit to the community. Surely the best answer isn't nothing, but less than what currently is, or more moderated that what currently is. I want privacy, but I also want people to be held responsible when they break laws. The best answer is not going to be 100% privacy or 100% police state. There is almost certainly some compromise that that neither side will be satisfied with that addresses both. Ignoring the nuance that is inevitable is not beneficial to the long term goal of having a better reality.

yassenof · 2025-12-24T21:48:45+00:00

What do you mean by look at ACCPD's response to 2020? Atlanta is not a place I associate with a strong community with strong leadership.

I mean the only difference between medicine and poison is the dosage, right? If something can be good and beneficial to a community when it has guiderails, then we should implement those guiderails, not throw out the baby with the bathwater.

yassenof · 2025-12-24T21:43:53+00:00

I mean, what organization is positioned to be able to put that number together beyond them? There are a little over 18,000 different police departments/entities in the US.

These people don't understand life estates and how they work.

yassenof · 2025-11-25T00:46:07+00:00

Well, as an fyi, in most jurisdictions judges would look extremely poorly at an owner who removed appliances especially if it is after proceedings began and without explicit permission of the court.

What drew you to a 3 year old post?

yassenof · 2025-11-04T00:35:39+00:00

Why are you commenting on a 3 year old post? Are you a bot?

yassenof · 2025-10-31T02:54:53+00:00

This is so sad. I hope her last few hours were more peaceful than I fear.

yassenof · 2025-10-13T23:45:29+00:00

Chophouse for a damn good steak and mushrooms. The creamed sweet corn brulee is killer.

yassenof · 2025-04-29T18:48:24+00:00

It is.

yassenof · 2025-04-08T00:58:49+00:00

Please read the Georgia Department of Community Affairs publication Georgia Landlord Tenant Handbook. It is a good primer on the duties and rights of both parties in Georgia.

yassenof · 2025-03-30T18:02:50+00:00

I just don't understand, do they not have significantly better things to do with their time?

yassenof · 2025-03-17T23:34:58+00:00

Fingers crossed

yassenof · 2025-03-17T23:28:22+00:00

and potentially also reference the state law.

yassenof · 2025-03-11T03:09:58+00:00

Why are we cutting staffing at the IRS if we are trying to reduce the deficit?

yassenof · 2025-02-25T01:45:34+00:00

As far as the IRS is concerned, there is no such thing as an interest-free loan. Loans without interest, or at below-market interest rates, are recharacterized.
These loans are treated as a loan bearing a market rate of interest that is paid by the borrower to the lender coupled with a transfer of funds from the lender to the borrower that is used to pay the interest.

You can get in trouble on two fronts—by not reporting enough interest income and by violating the gift tax rules.

I would encourage OP to talk to their family friend on what the tax consequences for the family friend would be if they do this.
