Claude / ChatGPT / AI in general makes a lot of mistakes in property appraisals

Long prompts, lots of data in a spreadsheet, pictures - nothing can fix this problem. At best it makes it look pretty and worse it actually makes you look sloppy

@ShaziGoalie @LeafSingh Asking for the max was tough - it looks like a bit of regular season load management, no Florida/Boston as opponents and a mindset shift

@Canucks_Enjoyer Not funny …asshole

@Biggie2226 @ronmortgageguy @skov555 Should check the receipts

[Brian Persaud @BrianPersaud]

@ronmortgageguy @skov555 Rude, It’s not 367 king west Sergei …it’s another building. Fun fact: pricing a condo by per square foot is like pricing a car by weight - they are not prime layouts

@stephenattong lol - Dice !

@donnelly_b @HousingNowTO Nope - let it stay hard - it doesn’t benefit people other than for commercial interests and scammers

‼️NEW - TUCKER CALLS FOR REGIME CHANGE IN CANADA

"by force if necessary......talk about a country that is oppressing its own citizens."

"If anyone needs LIBERATION from a government that hates them, it's Canada"

[Brian Persaud @BrianPersaud]

I agree with this

[David Knight Legg @KnightLegg]

Imagine you’re the CEO of Air Canada….

….sleepless and dealing with a brutal tragedy in real time with vast US and Canadian media coverage - and your PM decides to hit you with a cheap shot saying you lack ‘compassion’ because you lack excellent French language skills.

But you’re the CEO of a regulated industry so he knows you can’t punch back. Even though his own French is carefully stage-managed. And the Governor General can barely speak it.

The PM chose to use a national tragedy to score marginal political points with the Quebec language police.

Tone deaf and gross.

Je veux dire, c'est grotesque et d'une insensibilité totale.

Thank you to @BillAckman for meeting to discuss how to strengthen 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 relations, bring affordability and opportunity with tariff-free trade, and stamp out antisemitism in the West.

This is not true

[Aakash Gupta @aakashgupta]

Let me explain exactly why every new subdivision in America looks like the top photo, because the math is wild.

A mature tree increases a home's value by 7 to 19 percent. On a $400,000 house, that's $28,000 to $76,000. A single shade tree produces the cooling equivalent of ten room-size air conditioners running 20 hours a day. One tree on the west side of a house cuts energy bills by 12 percent within 15 years. The bottom photo is worth more, costs less to live in, and sells faster. This has been documented by the University of Washington, Clemson, Michigan State, and the USDA. The data is not in dispute.

Removing those trees saves the builder roughly $5,000 per lot. Concrete trucks need twice the dripline radius of every standing tree. Utility trenches need flat ground. A bulldozer flattens 200 lots in an afternoon. Preserving trees adds weeks and thousands per home.

So the developer pockets $5,000 in savings and the buyer eats $50,000 in lost value for the next two decades. The person making the decision and the person paying for it have never been in the same room.

The Woodlands, Texas is the proof of what happens when they are. George Mitchell bought 28,000 acres of Houston timberland in 1974 and preserved 28% as permanent green space. He forced McDonald's to build behind the tree canopy. That McDonald's became one of the highest-volume locations in Texas. The first office building, designed to reflect the surrounding forest so you couldn't see it from the street, leased completely.

The Woodlands median home price today: $615,000. Katy, a comparable Houston suburb that clear-cut: $375,000. Named #1 community to live in America two years running.

Fifty years of data. The trees are worth more than removing them saves. Developers clear-cut anyway because they sell the house once and leave. You live in it for 30 years.

Whenever someone starts a sentence with “as a minority” I immediately start making grocery list inside my head to distract myself.

Effing emotional hemophiliacs.

They are not doing Seig Heil…just as an aside Toronto Persians definitely hate the current regime.

I tested https://t.co/Ot0EXHroee for a listing. Not one inquiry. Same listing on other platforms 1) MLS 2) Facebook Marketplace 3) Zumper 4) Kijiji ...all of those are no cost for me advertise

@MomsPostingLs @araghchi I think it was the premise - it probably wasn’t armed, it’s a type of ship that can’t defend against a sub and it was tracked from a war game vs in combat . Really a sitting duck

[Brian Persaud @BrianPersaud]

@MacWhackle @JShamess You think there is enough equipment, gear and training for that ? America left more stuff in Afghanistan than what we have in all of Canada
