One of the institutional MF brokers in my market used AI to add a Ferrari to the parking lot in an aerial photo of a suburban garden style deal. Not surprisingly, this is also the guy that always gives a whisper price 10%-15% above market.
@PerrySolem Working on a single family lot development deal now where the homebuilder deposit + CDD loan covers +100% of development costs, assuming everyone closes like they are supposed to.
I’ve always been intrigued by marinas, but a 3 cap at best seems nuts.
If you have dry slips, it would seem like you need a marina manager.
Worth noting that you likely cannot insure the dock so if a hurricane comes, you’re on the hook to rebuild.
My guess would be that those lifts break with some frequency. I’d budget for that.
I don’t know the Jupiter marker but I’d look at what slips go for as individual for sale to see if there is a spread. It likely isn’t worth it to condo them out, but you never know.
I think you are grasping at anything to justify more censorship. I encourage you to read 1984, dig into the Twitter files, review how Covid was handled, etc if you want to know all the reasons why censorship doesn’t work. I’m going to leave it there. We understand each other’s opinions and aren’t changing any minds.
So this is the heart of our disagreement. You are pro-censorship of opinions that you do not like.
I am pro-1st amendment-style free speech. I think people should have the right to say things even if I disagree with them and even if they are “wrong.”
The problem with the pro-censorship side is that in the election example, you can have a real story censored that changes the outcome. Your counter is that somebody’s opinion or interpretation of facts not being censored may have influenced an election. I don’t view those things as equivalent.
When in doubt, more speech is always the answer, not less.
@head_doo72356@seandsweeney@elonmusk What exactly are you disputing? That the ayatollah has openly called for terrorism? Does anyone even dispute that? That the ayatollah was not censored on here? He was not.
@head_doo72356@seandsweeney@elonmusk This article is about his posts, not the platform. We can argue as to whether or not he is right. Regardless, he has a right to his opinions and free speech.
@head_doo72356@seandsweeney@elonmusk That’s the definition of censorship - inconsistent application of their rules. They didn’t need more anti-violence measures to censure someone who openly encourages terrorism if they wanted to.
I’m explaining that a true story about the son of the presidential candidate receiving multimillion dollar payments from some of this country’s biggest adversaries, an act that would make him an illegal foreign agent, was censored by this platform and others. It was discredited as disinformation and the story was not allowed to circulate prior to the election. Polling showed that people who knew about the story had their vote swayed. In a very close election, it is very likely that this censorship changed the outcome.
What is your claim regarding 2024? What specifically are you claiming Elon did with Twitter?
The point is the inconsistency - the Trump point can be argued. The Ayatollah was outright calling for violence against another group of people. If Trump did something that warranted being kicked off the platform, by what metric didn’t the Ayatollah?
You also have not responded to the Hunter Biden laptop or Covid points which alone make the case.
That’s where you’re wrong, I agreed that nothing changed for 99.9% of posts, not for 99.9% of people that read posts.
Having free speech here would have created a space that would have completely changed the Covid dialogue. To the extent polling can be believed, it very likely could have meant a Trump presidency in 2020 instead of a Biden presidency as a result of the circulation of the censured Hunter Biden laptop story. Etc
You’re making my point. Some percentage of people were censored. Putting aside that the Ayatollah was allowed on the platform while Trump was kicked off, Covid censorship, how about Covid vaccine censorship, lab leak theory censorship, Hunter Biden laptop censorship, general Republican censorship…
I answered your question. Free speech also means reading opinions you don’t like, some of which will be flat out wrong so long as they do not violate someone else’s rights. Free speech just when it matches the preferred opinions of those that run the platform is not free speech. It’s curated opinions. Twitter was not a free speech platform previously. Now, it is.
