@badguy974 @GrulkeLamonte If you get a unit with an inverter the heat pump will work to a much lower temperature vs switching to heat strips (Mitsubishi heat pumps work below 0F).

@ScottFarbman Very very rare

One of the best home builders out there, folks

SF ballot box be like “increase sales tax by 1% so we don’t cause a near total collapse in public transit throughout the Bay Area?”

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@MyBackyardPara1 @Real__State Prices are insane in the last two years due to the AI boom

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

This should be as a percentage of home value and if also doesnt take into account that most elderly property owners in Calif barely pay any taxes thanks to Prop 13...

[Nathan Reeder @PropertyMan219]

@Eric_Erins There's also a pretty clear strategy for old people mad about paying property taxes

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@MyBackyardPara1 @Real__State This is happening in my neighborhood. If you bought your house for $35k in the 70s (which is a common scenario here) and your assessment increased 2% a year and never got fully reassessed (because of prop 13) your taxes would be around $1000.

[Joe Rivano Barros @jrivanob]

Bit of a blunder for Mayor Lurie, Rafael Mandelman & others who put Prop A together.

Language on the very first page of Prop A, phrasing that was not caught by its authors, could inadvertently undo the separate term-limit measure voters passed in June.

Certainly not the intent.

@credealjunkie Who is "they"

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@av yeah the cutting in work on a ladder is no joke unless you are doing a landlord special and painting all surfaces with the same off white paint

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

People on here claiming it takes 3 hours to paint a furnished living room have either never painted a room or have never done a remotely passable job of it

@TaupeAvenger (not just electric was my point)

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@TaupeAvenger I think the diesel units are pretty cheap but they are bundling locomotives with batteries into this order https://t.co/tnluZGFG29

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@Real__State I'm sorry but paying $900 in property tax on a $2 million house is not good for society (while your younger neighbors are paying $15,000)

[Adriana Valencia for AC Transit Ward 3 @av]

Vote YES on RTM! It'll cost an East Bay family that spends $20k on taxable goods/year $100. That's far less than the cost of the time and additional gas it'd take to navigate the resulting congestion from far-reduced transit services

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@DavidJanke_CRE Yep!

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@av Yeah... Having to move the furniture, cover it with drop cloths, take down artwork etc

[Jeff @SEAsheltie]

@markasaurus You get a few gallons of the thickest leaded white paint, and you just slather it over everything but the floor. Hinges? Yep. Doorknobs? You betcha. Window edges? Seal em shut with that paint. Steam rediator? Definitely.

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@TaupeAvenger Okay but if you are hiring painters it's probably not one coat and you also have to cover the furniture, take down artwork etc

[Mark Hogan @markasaurus]

@jasonc_nc This is sooo bonkers
