@wagsteve@micah_erfan@hayesy316 Would land lords lower rents if they got tax savings? Not directly, the only things that sets prices is supply and demand.
Taxing things makes less of things so supply would go down, which would make rents go up. Taxing land does not change how much land there is though.
@atlanticesque@CHKFLA_if zipcar for an hour is like 20 bucks in nyc. if your car-required trips are only an hour or so you might save a bunch of money ditching the car.
@treeaston Everything gets cheaper when you tax land.
labor is expensive because housing is expensive, housing is 📈 because more people want homes than have them, more people want homes than have them because homes have a good ROI, homes have a good ROI because land is a finite resource.
Devs who are feeling overwhelmed, take an hour out of your workday and do this:
Setup
1. Get Anthropic Pro ($20), with a plan to upgrade to 5X Max later
2. Download Claude Code
3. Select Opus 4.5 (it's the default)
Loop
1. Start plan mode
2. Plan a small feature
3. Once you're happy with the plan, auto-accept edits
4. Pause the LLM if you're not happy with the output
5. Clear context and repeat for the next feature
Continue doing this until you get a feel for what the LLM can and can't do. It'll take 10-20 hours of practice.
@SmalllIvy@humantransit It's not that there is no parking, its just letting the business decide how much parking there should be. It's much better this way. If you enjoy the amenities of the city, you should live in one.
@vyaghramukha@justinskycak@unusual_whales Your money can make about 7% a year which turns into 4-3% after inflation. If you can live off of 4% of your money you never have to work again. For a lot of people that number is $1.5 - 2 million.
@SmalllIvy@humantransit A lot of cities have laws to ensure "enough" parking was built and they largely bankrupted american cities. There is thankfully an ongoing movement to rollback these laws.

@Boenau this reporting feels unnecessarily controversial.
1. They don't have the budget to do all sidewalks proposed.
2. residents strongly opposed (likely a single comment about "strangers")
3. Decided to give budget to street that wants & needs them more.
