@drinccc @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 Providing nothing is not providing compensation. Is that really hard for you to understand?
English
Vacancy Control.
Tenant died in February 2025; it took a year in housing court to gain possession. The renter occupied the unit for 46 years.
He owed $19,957.41 on a rent of $1,234.87 at the time of death. Operating cost is $1,380, so it “makes” -$146 every month before renovation costs.
The rent cannot be changed on vacsncy and tbe Rent Guidlines Board does not keep up with cost. There is no mechanism to cover the costs of the full gut renovation needed for the next renter, nor will a bank extend a loan to do the work to cover the costs with a rent that can never pay it back.
As a result, the unit will stay empty.
This is your city on vacancy control.

@ElectileDysfx @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 you are not understanding the argument I'm making. first you say it's unconstitutional. now you're relying on arguments of precedent. those are two different things, and the precedent for the interpretation of the constitution is not the same thing as the constitution.
English
@drinccc @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 Just compensation is the market value. Precedent has agreed with that sentiment.
Saying zero dollars is directly contrary to the Constitution. The opposite of what it says is not an interpretation.
English
@ElectileDysfx @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 The constitution does not say anything about worth or value, it doesn't say the compensation needs to be market rate. it says it has to be just. if we decide zero dollars is a just number to compensate vacant apartment owners then it is in fact constitutional.
English
@drinccc @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 If it was worthless it wouldn’t be something someone would find worth owning in the first place.
Not zero.

@ElectileDysfx @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 why not? who gets to decide what a just compensation is? do you acknowledge that there is a capacity, in the terms of the Constitution, to debate the value of a just compensation? and that zero is a number which is permissible to enter into that debate?
English
English
@ElectileDysfx @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 if the just compensation is determined to be zero then everything is permitted, is it not? so it would just be a matter of making and defending the argument around just compensation. that's a political question, as framed in the constitution.

@drinccc @DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 Not really.
The recent SF case involved a building where the owner lived in one unit and wasn’t offering the others for rent. Simple argument was he couldn’t afford the tax so it effectively forced him to offer his property for rent, making it an unconstitutional taking.
English
@DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 it seems to me that the phrase "without just compensation" and "except as punishment for a crime" are quite broad preconditions which could easily be met with the right legislators.
English
@drinccc @jaymart222 Violates the Fifth and Fourteenth Amendment.
English
@DukeandDukeCB @jaymart222 where in the constitution does it say no vacancy taxes
English
@drinccc @jaymart222 Not constitutional.
Besides, if we want these units offered, the answer is just to remove the policy that’s encouraging them not to be.

@tylera86 @jbillinson the problem is you don't know who's a quack and who's a glorified masseuse until you get irreversible nerve damage. this is a problem that does not exist for real doctors.
English
@jbillinson There are some who aren’t terrible quacks, but they’re few and far between. Michael Ray is one I’d trust. Aaron Kubal is another. After that I’m not sure.

How do people still go to chiropractors? You guys know it was invented by a quack who said he learned it from a ghost, right?
taylor dearden & patrick ball news@pdeardzcrave_
She's my soul sister! Taylor about having Ehlers-Danlos and how her chiropractor works with her long hours on set: “I have Ehlers-Danlos, which is a hypermobility disorder. So, on set, we don’t have chairs. We have a family room we’re allowed to go to sometimes, but it’s seven and a half hours of standing. It’s about finding the line of muscle or nerve. So, if my shoulder hurts, it’s because of my right hip. It’s bizarre and so necessary and I wish I had more time to go to him. In the first season, we did one leg on the gurney CPR and I started walking and my hips were completely crooked. I remember walking and he goes, “Don’t tell me, one leg on the bed CPR?” And I was like, “Yes.”

you know an old friend of mine told me, he said you know Mr. Trump, a man can never cross the same river twice, because he's not the same man and it's not the same river. isn't that amazing. so who's to say really if running a third term is illegal, is it really a third term even

@lightheaven_x @al_Mogaib @Ollie_Vargas_ no axis labels, no chart labels, what is this even trying to say? are you actually retarded?

Argentinian young professional: I voted for Milei and now I can't afford rent anywhere. I'll probably migrate out of the country, but I'll still never vote for the left.

@cannibality It was established that way in the colonial setting but there's many modern examples of capitalism being adopted voluntarily for the free exchange of goods and services with much benefits to their population. None such examples exist in communism
English
capitalism was only established through the extraordinary violence of enclosure and colonialism that turned the feudal peasantry into a landless proletariat, a process ensured through forms of conditioning and punishment like incarceration in workhouses and chain gangs.

"once you unlearn this" "we can condition you into this" "we must break that conditioning" Why do Marxists always talk about their politics in relations to people, as if they were training a dog?

@BlkMissFrizzle God forbid the busiest commuter hub in the country should have dense residential development instead of a bunch of squalid low rise shopping centers.

As someone who knows little about NYC I feel like Jamaica would be a logical place for a new skyscraper district like Long Island City purely based on how well connected it is

Q: I've got something I think you'll quite want. This pill will cancel the effects of any hot sauce. Only be careful Mr. Bond, it only works once. I hear Dr. Evans has invented a new kind of hot sauce even hotter than the last dab. You'll have to make it that far on your own.
English
Alright Mr. Bond, here's a hot mission for you. We have reason to believe a man by the name of Sean Evans is running a smuggling ring. Recently his shipments have gotten a little kick. Uranium. Oh and one more thing. You'll have to eat his wings to get close to him.
