@C0N5PR4CYTH3ORY@BumsM37946@shortmagsmle I’ve lived in Atlanta and used MARTA. Pretty much every fare gate is the same in how they’re used. They’re both entrances and exits
@C0N5PR4CYTH3ORY@BumsM37946@shortmagsmle MARTA does it where you’d need to tap to exit the station using the same method you entered. They might’ve updated the breezecard system since I was last there, but if you evaded the fare, the gates are designed to keep you in
@Jhhuynh42@HexerinNull@Mens_Corner__ Is there ever a situation MSRP is arguably not reliable? Like I know with new cars, for example, dealers had to offer incentives and markdowns to get any cars to sell roughly a year and a half ago
@privacy85281@jeremyct Deflation could often be a good thing without the influence of central banks. Even in a bad economy, deflation is often a relief. A deflationary depression is preferable to stagflation imo
@CrySlyFly@RogerJUlrichJr@jeremyct NIMBYism is preventing building in the first place. Elites work with governments to prevent approval for new housing to keep their real estate prices up. Idk why as I’d prefer to pay lower property taxes, as many aren’t selling. Major problem in California
@CrySlyFly@RogerJUlrichJr@jeremyct It would help if employers took this into consideration when looking at markets to move their headquarters to.
With construction costs rising and NIMBYism, I fear your solution is a fantasy for us. It’s the reason they build luxury when people can’t afford luxury.
@CrySlyFly@RogerJUlrichJr@jeremyct Supply certainly would help. Need to be quality builds compared to the low-quality crap they’re building in the US today. Idk the situation in Australia. Zoning and NIMBYs are awful about that.
I’ll add that I despise the fact that interest rates aren’t determined by the market
@CrySlyFly@RogerJUlrichJr@jeremyct Tent cities are already normal here. What do you suggest we do to stop that?
I’d like to raise interest rates to crash the market and encourage savings/investment over debt. I’ll buy property myself to give the tenants that rent from me a shot to actually build themselves up
@CrySlyFly@jeremyct If it’s in a market I’m interested in, I’ll buy. If not, they probably didn’t have a tenant anyway because they couldn’t foresee that maybe their asking price was too high. They probably overpaid for the house too if they were expecting it to cover their mortgage
@CrySlyFly@jeremyct I think the market in many areas is unsustainable. Unless someone can actually pay, which in the vast majority of areas I see and work in they can’t, prices should come down.
Too many landlords pull the “I know what I got” equivalent trick imo. I want to see them bankrupt
@CrySlyFly@jeremyct I CAN qualify more than likely. The vast majority of people I know can’t. In many markets, the incomes can’t pay it and I would suggest people don’t go into debt to pay overpriced rent.
Heck, I plan on buying a property outright to undercut the overpriced rents in the area
@CrySlyFly@jeremyct Honestly hope tenants protest landlords like this and they have long vacancies they can’t absorb though. Maybe with enough landlord bankruptcies, housing prices can finally crash
