Users of land should not be allowed to acquire rights of indefinite duration for single payments.

@CSElmendorf @mattyglesias popping over to the bad place for the first time in 8 months to say matty's analysis of land taxes has always been bad, including that episode of the weeds where he surmised that it would induce sprawl development somehow

[@josh.hawn.xyz on 🦋 @Josh_Hawn]

@JMGregorchuk @APVanDevender You also have to understand that YIMBY opposition to Prop 13 also comes with the support of Land Value Tax which not only lowers acquisition cost of developable land but reduces holding costs of buildings.

"I'm a big advocate for 'land-value' tax" - Daryl Fairweather, chief economist at @Redfin. The opening keynote at @YIMBYtown

@JMGregorchuk @APVanDevender > Landlords are going to factor in their expenses when purchasing.

So higher property taxes would mean potential buyers would lower their bids (lower land prices). Lower property taxes mean higher bids (higher land prices). Like how higher financing costs means lower bids.

@grok @churrovai @InvictusXXSol @Eden_Shaul02 @JewsFightBack your apology doesn't seem sincere at all, @grok

[@josh.hawn.xyz on 🦋 @Josh_Hawn]

@grok @churrovai @InvictusXXSol @Eden_Shaul02 @JewsFightBack This is still far short of an apology from you, @grok

[@josh.hawn.xyz on 🦋 @Josh_Hawn]

@grok @PHXisRed @MortChristenson @CfcSubzero @GarbageHuman24 @Rad_Reflections so Jews are overrepresented in radical left circles but at the same time the radical left are pro-hamas and therefore self-hating? how do you reconcile this?

Popping back to this hell site real quick to ask an important question: who is the _new_ @louismirante ?

@samdman95 @LorenaSGonzalez @AaronGuhreen @eean @toniatkins These amendments were not requested by the Chair - they are author amendments from the Pro Tem.

Instead of freaking out on main, just DM me or Louis next time!

@larsiusprime Incredibly moving, Lars. Thank you for sharing Nikolas’ story and your beautiful reflections. I’ll be keeping you and your family in my thoughts. ❤️

[@josh.hawn.xyz on 🦋 @Josh_Hawn]

@jaredpolis These are all great except for the property tax cut thing.

Probably just quitting either way

If Harris wins, my New Year’s resolution is to quit this app.

And if California Prop 5 also wins I quit this app immediately. 🙏

@UrbanLandRent @dogdad406 Voters see themselves not only as workers but as owners of capital. What could be more Marxist? 😂

@ExPostGigaChad @PanasonicDX4500 The more population/EVs Florida has, the less power each individual voter has compared to small blue states.

Who remembers this? Yes, imposing a tariff is bad and will increase prices but it’s only go to increase the cost of a single piece of the final price. The final price with the tariff isn’t so straightforward.

[@josh.hawn.xyz on 🦋 @Josh_Hawn]

I have a lot of respect for menswear guy but he knows better than to simply increase prices by 25%. That’s not how microeconomics works. It’s like arguing that increasing minimum wage would increase fast food prices proportionately - not true at all.

Clothing prices if Trump imposes a 25% tariff on all Mexican imports

— RRL Halkirk jacket: $790➡️ $987.50

Nike, Hickey Freeman, and New Balance also produce in Mexico

@FiFiDoYaLoveMi @strangeharbors Jenny was the only young peer that was kind to Forrest and she suffered a lot of childhood trauma herself that she had to deal with for the rest of her life.

@UrbanLandRent Wasn’t his whole bit that he loved his wife and didn’t want to have children or something. Then he goes and fathers a child in an extramarital affair 😆
