what are the responsibilities of those entitled?How much can home owners control what is built next to or near them? How does the level of that control throttle home value/prices. Would you prefer a whorehouse next door or a mansion? Again…

I live in a popular vacation destination and lack of affordable housing is killing our community. Our homeless population is huge, and even people who have decent jobs can’t afford a home in the area (I have a government job and I can’t!) …

therefore are accessible to all citizens. You don't share ownership of privately owned land, therefore you're not entitled to it's use.We can wax poetic/virtue signal about how housing is a human right to make ourselves feel nice, but the …

They do not guarantee the allocation of anything and are categorically different from entitlements, which cannot be guaranteed.Entitlements are resources which are made available to people which society agrees is for the betterment of the …

No, your saying that the homes must be built. So who is going to build them if they won't make a profit, if they will be used to house people who can't afford them? No one. If you can't make a profit, no one will build them. Your advocatin…

Yep; lots of government money got handed out in my city a few years ago, specifically to combat the housing problem.It end ended up all going to friends of officials who had construction companies, who sold it for a nice profit to investme…

She just put in a washer dryer unit for a lady who has been renting from her for more than 20 years. My mom loves her and when asked she was happy to do it. The washer dryer unit was 1,200 the plumber was 2,200, the electrician was 800, de…

My mother owns 12 small rental in the suburbs of Chicago (they are small apts in various buildings around her house). Her income is generally 30-60k per year depending on how much maintenance costs. I wouldn't say she works more than say 4…

Even if the majority of rental income goes towards the landlord's mortgage, that's not an expense, that's equity going into the property, which the landlord gets back. It's a bit like saying 'my profit margin is slim because I put most of …

Don't blame taxes. We don't have a problem with excessive taxation. If anything we have the opposite problem as evidenced by our revenue. We haven't run at a surplus since clinton (sort of) and it's because every republican president has c…

I agree that housing should be a right for all people but where the question becomes more complex is over the location of that housing.In a Canadian example people often cite the crazy home prices in Toronto and Vancouver but nobody ever m…

For example, if his compensation package gives him the option to buy stock at $50 per share, and he buys 1MM shares, and the stock goes up to $150, then he would make $100MM buy selling it.Realistically, the option was negotiated back when…

They really do believe being rich just makes you better. Head to your golf game, Donnie. You earned it. Not like that Obama elitist who rose up from basically nothing during the civil rights era.That's NOT how stock compensation works thou…

If I remember correctly, Lee’s was a bit riskier since GM’s stock at that point was tanked due to the fuel crisis, cheap Asian imports and Lee’s personal reputation wasn’t super high (still respected though) after having been recently fire…
