userinanother··on Bank financing and bad urban planning make the retail apocalypse worse
Leasing under the projected rate will trigger automatic loan reassessments. Leaving the unit vacant won’t
userinanother··on Bank financing and bad urban planning make the retail apocalypse worse
How else you do punish vacant land? I suppose you could fine people but it’s the same as a tax in all but name
userinanother··on Ask HN: Why are there such huge numbers of fake accounts "liking" on Twitter now
8$ per account is pretty expensive to run a bot. Though maybe still a good trade if you can hit the volume threshold with clients. If you can get 30 paid likes per account at 25c a piece that seems reasonable. $250 per 1000 likes seems decent. Though you probably need to pad that with 30-40k non blue likes to not trip up bot detection

userinanother··on Bank financing and bad urban planning make the retail apocalypse worse
The problem is that it’s too difficult to get rid of tenants. The incentive should be to hold the building in a non vacant state until it’s time to combine the lots and build the mega tower. The reason it was vacant is because New York tenants have unreasonable rights.
userinanother··on Bank financing and bad urban planning make the retail apocalypse worse
Yes but if you have a vacant property tax or greatly increases cost of holding and makes the risk reward less favorable for long term holding
userinanother··on Bank financing and bad urban planning make the retail apocalypse worse
Very common that’s why many places would rather have high occupancy than lower rent.
userinanother··on Bank financing and bad urban planning make the retail apocalypse worse
Those spaces are wacky. There isn’t enough density to support wages of a person working there and not enough parking to pull in outside customers. They would make good personal studios for the locals but the landlords want too much or too onerous of a lease agreement.
userinanother··on Bank financing and bad urban planning make the retail apocalypse worse
Why not just force land lords to lease out the space at whatever the market will bear even if that amount is near zero. That way we can have local art space or makers or pottery spots or just cowork spaces? Most of those land lords are asking more than market rates hence the vacancy
userinanother··on Facing 110 years in prison, Sam Bankman-Fried "can't recall" what he did at FTX
Nah trump would do the same. He basically had the same arrangement with Jared. Just how the government works now
userinanother··on As child care costs soar, more parents may have to exit the workforce
The gdp measures the hot dog and the transaction costs of the hotdog so you buying the hotdog adds both hot dog, cart vendor and health inspector and permit office into the mix.
userinanother··on Big landlords used software to collude on rent prices, DC lawsuit says
I think that 80% thing brings it from price discovery system to criminal conspiracy to restrict trade. If the government were serious we would have filed criminal charges against everyone involved
userinanother··on Big landlords used software to collude on rent prices, DC lawsuit says
It’s cartel behavior.

It used to have too high a value so that you can get paid well but you get screwed on registration costs
userinanother··on As child care costs soar, more parents may have to exit the workforce
0-4 years kind of suck 5-10 though yeah those are gold
userinanother··on As child care costs soar, more parents may have to exit the workforce
I thought we were talking economic output. GDP isn’t a good metric to use when you compare work that generates no GDP output. Someone already mentioned that taking care of your own kid generates a net gdp loss of 1.x your income where x is the ammount you would pay to a child care facility.
userinanother··on As child care costs soar, more parents may have to exit the workforce
Not all, lots of issues with private equity buying up all the childcare centers. Lots of regulatory burden and generally occurring at a time in people’s lives when they are low on the earning cycle
userinanother··on As child care costs soar, more parents may have to exit the workforce
Not possible to do legally. That’s below minimum wage age way below after you do employer taxes
userinanother··on As child care costs soar, more parents may have to exit the workforce
Seattle is 2200-2500 for young kids. That’s post tax money so add 30%+ to account for that. 70k a year is what you would pay at a private equity run child care facility
userinanother··on As child care costs soar, more parents may have to exit the workforce
In theory yes but the 4-1 has lots of overhead plus extra facilities plus taxes. Is probably closer to 3:1 after overhead and 2.5:1 after transactional taxes
userinanother··on Uncommon rat mitigation technique nearly eliminating Upper East Side infestation
You need co. It’s leathal because it binds to your blood cells and prevents you from using oxygen. So you cash accumulate it in your blood and you don’t need immediately leathal doses
userinanother··on As the public begins to believe Google isn’t as useful, what happens to SEO?
Information search works a lot better because it has no commercial value. Therefore no SEO attack
userinanother··on As the public begins to believe Google isn’t as useful, what happens to SEO?
The SEO industry has been the big winner from the crapification of Google. No surprise there
