@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.

@micah_erfan @hayesy316 If the landlords are paying more you are paying more-These are easy concepts to learn haha

67% of NYC residents don't own any property in the city.
The notion that this is a tax hike primarily on normal working New Yorkers is an absolute joke.

@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.
English
@CHKFLA_if Rideshares would’ve been expensive, and I also just don’t like it. Busses would’ve been *possible* in most cases, but much more inconvenient. Much more.

Before I lived in New York, I lived in a city where I could do 80% of my life without a car. I walked to work, I walked to the grocery store, I had things delivered, etc.
But that last 20% is a bear. I really did need my car, even though I only drove it 2-4 times a month.
Transportation Alternatives@TransAlt
If you go two and a half weeks without using your car, why do you have a car?

This is why I think Dems are being wildly shortsighted giving into shit like no-taxes on tips.

W-2 white collar tax revolt is brewing and every bullshit boomer tax break or special income carve out for waiters is training people to be more anti tax. No one is going to vote for the eat your vegetables campaign but we need to not actually give voters candy

@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.

I cannot tell you how many of my fellow millennial friends cite the high cost of child care as a reason for not wanting to have kids. We've got to start thinking creatively about driving down *the source* of high costs for child care and much more. ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Searchlight Institute@SearchlightInst
Child care costs are too high. Availability is too low. One way to tackle both? Remove unnecessary rules that make it harder to open child care centers in cities and all across the country. searchlightinstitute.org/research/unloc…

@RobertCarroll90 @GovWhitmer I agree, should just charge a recurring fee for all the services that contribute to a properties market value.
English
@GovWhitmer You should never pay property taxes on something you own.
TBH, it should just be abolished especially for elderly people.

With property taxes going up year after year, Michigan seniors deserve stability. They’ve worked hard and earned the right to relief in their golden years. freep.com/story/news/pol…

I got early access to the Codex app and have been using it for a little while, and it's really really clean.
Very much enjoying it so far! Helps tame the proliferation of Ghostty tabs.
And it has worktrees built in 👀

@aarondfrancis @gonedark source needed. 50x more productive is you doing your whole careers worth of work in 1 year. does that sound right?
English
@gonedark I think it is fun! But I think a lot of the fun is because it makes me like 20-50x more productive
English
I think AI is good. But I also think a majority of the hype is simply that it's "fun".

@JannikWempe @mm_ramoz someone just needs to make shadcn for IaaC (could be you:)
English
@mm_ramoz Yeah, AI has probably a better idea of CDK.
But things like Live Lambda, Cloudflare integration and easy deployments for lots of web frameworks are still strong selling points for me.

He didn’t train his brain to silence all fear
He just trained really hard in one specific area. As a result, the images he was shown seem perfectly safe to him. Because they actually area
Similarly, somebody who’s job is to catch crocodile’s doesn’t get a fear response when showing pictures of human <> crocodile encounters

Alex's first-of-its-kind accomplishment is a timely reminder that we humans are capable of unimaginable things.
AI progress is challenging our ideas of reality, creating a massive fear response that results in many feeling paralyzed.
Alex triumphed because he's trained his brain to silence fear. fMRI of his neural activity show a silent amygdala.
Achieving what you want in life can be done with a similar shift in neural architecture. What could you accomplish by overcoming default patterns such as silencing fear?
As a species, what if instead of destroying our enemies, we destroyed the concept of enemies. What could we then climb together?
That may seem impossible of humans, but as Alex shows, the risk is shorting our potential to change beyond our imaginations.

@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.
English
@jp_kiser @humantransit I remember going to Emeryville and Alameda in the 1990s because they were much more pleasant places to visit than places like Berkeley and Oakland.
Safe, clean, and you could park.
I guess no more.
English
Free parking in the street is fine where demand is low.
Where demand is high it is a waste of everyone’s time and of scarce urban space.
A civilised society uses scarce resources efficiently, because that means everyone can have more.
Merry Christmas!
Dr Michael Copeman@drmcopeman
@mnolangray Free parking in the street is one of the signs of a civilised society. Free parking encourages visitors - and mixing of communities is a sign of a mature, confident society.

@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.
English
@jp_kiser @justinskycak @unusual_whales I know, i just don't know where 3-4% rule comes from? Or is it just personal experience
English
What is your best financial advice for someone looking to start 2026 right?
English
@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.

English
@humantransit The issue is that city govs don't do their job and instead just let excess building take place, often removing parking.
They also get addicted to parking fees and purposely keep a scarcity. Wealthy donors/friends build paid lots at usurous rates.
City centers die, moves outward

@vyaghramukha @justinskycak @unusual_whales here is a hint: if $30k isn't the right number then $1M isn't the right number either

@justinskycak @unusual_whales A millionaire should live below 30k ?

@hassankhan Passkey is basically "We've established that the device you are using is yours, do you want to put a special token on it to keep using this device as recognition that you are you?"
calling it a passkey is weird, but idk what else they should have called it

We live in a sitcom.
73 residents responded to a survey, and only 12 supported sidewalks. They're worried that sidewalks increase crime and littering.
