This is why more parents should let or make their kids do stuff, like ordering their food at a restaurant. I didn’t order a pizza myself until I was like 15 and my friends still don’t let me live down how stupid I sounded fumbling through that phone call.

It’s a fair point, I was felt like I was being teleported around as a kid. It wasn’t until I was driving myself until I started to realize how the different places of my childhood were connected in relation to each other. I would be driving down a street and go “oh, that’s where the Spring Training stadium is”

Well there’s your problem. Quit building unaffordable housing.

In most 'unaffordable' locations, land is way more expensive than housing.

My house, to build new, would cost 250k. The land it sits on is another 750k.

The right answer would be to demo my somewhat old house and rebuild 6 units on it. But you can't; setbacks, height restrictions, parking spot requirements etc. make that impossible. Why? Because everyone in the neighborhood already 'got theirs'.

But from a usage standpoint, my million dollar/ property neighborhood is at that price point because of the land use, not because builders don't build 'affordable housing'

You can't build cheap housing, it would drop property values!

That's not too far from the truth either. Comparing "comps" is a lazy man's game. They don't look that closely at the houses they are comparing.

Ugh.. this is so true. When I bought my house I used a rudimentary linear regression to decouple land price from home price. My realtor thought of that as unworkable black magic. I was like well, if I know the build quality and know the cost of construction, why wouldn't this work?

I think the answer was "pride of ownership, location, location, location!"

I mean if there are still renters able to pay then it's not unaffordable.

You can recognize the advantages of the system, and leverage them, while working to change the system. They could live like a monk and it would have far less an impact on the system as a whole then what they’re trying to do here.

I thought you were talking about layers of a networking frame until I realized there’s no L8 layer.

Because there isn’t

>There's no bombshell revelation in this leak but we get some good insights into Mark Zuckerberg's major preoccupations - regulation and new competitors.

It’s just a unique opportunity to be a fly on the wall in a high profile meeting.

That’s the exact tone I got from the first words in.

Holy fuck haha

You goofball, you can still install any app on iOS devices, you just have to trust the developer in your settings.

Yeah you said that, mate
