1. Different houses will be on different sized lots with different locations. This will create variance in price.

2. Different houses will be different sizes, made with different materials. This will create variance in price.

3. This market is oversimplified. Construction costs can rise if too much construction is happening (competition for labor and materials). Lower housing costs would attract buyers into the market that don't currently exist, driving up demand. Affordability is impacted by the cost of financing, which is rising.

4. New construction housing prices are actually really close to land value + construction costs. If you can find a way to make construction costs more modest then you have a fantastic future in real estate development.

The Nazis party grew because so many Germans were looking for people to blame for the "injustice" of Germany's loss in WWI. You think your motivations are different than millions of people? It's the reduction of complex events and people that results in and excuses people doing horrendous things, because it permits them to see what they want to see and ignore the rest.

Beware anybody or anyone who seeks to erase the messiness and complexity of life. The pursuit of purity is the root of so much evilness. If you uncover the sordid past of a public figure, the right thing to do is exhibit that history alongside the better things they're known for, so that people learn and remember what real people look like; that nobody is a caricature; and that to avoid repeating the sins of history we must appreciate what we share with those who have committed those sins previously.
Nothing in the article is about percentage of people. It’s not saying anything close to 20% of group X can afford anything.

It’s saying only 21% of listings meet the standards of affordability for that county.

That could easily be simply because houses that don’t meet that standard are on the market 5x as long, and you’d see this effect even if the median buyer could afford the median home overall.
No, I believe this was going to happen no matter what.

It happened with the Japanese in the 80s/90s as well where American media vilified Japan because it thinks Japan will become more powerful than the US.

China is trying to climb its way out of the "cheap labor" economy and into a developed economy. The US and the west are trying its hardest to prevent this from happening and this includes using every tactic possible including propaganda, sanctions, etc.
So outliers should just be allowed to have their future ruined because they can’t afford to do the homework? That’s BS.
I wouldn’t take anyone’s word for it.

There are too many actors with an agenda and a free political PR machine spewing hate about SF, Portland, Seattle, NYC, etc.

Even Walgreens publicly admitted in Jan that they had made far too big a deal about shoplifting as the cause for their SF closings in 2022. I expect there is corporate ass-covering happening by painting bad news as caused by factors external to the company and the market.

Just a note: gun control doesn’t do much because American gun manufacturers produce more than 10 million guns a year for the domestic consumer market. A ban would basically say no to that. What we have are laws against gun usage without any real constraints on a massive supply.

It doesn’t make sense to use gun ban and gun control interchangeably.
The book/film Durden always seemed a bit like a hypocritical villain. Did I enjoy the character, the gags, the twist? Sure! But seeing an article with this identity as the pen name makes my eyes roll pretty hard. Are some of the pressures imposed by society bad things? Yes, some certainly are. But the folks who see Durden as a champion often rally behind him because they don't like the fact that their beliefs draw scorn from society. It's not because they're unsung heroes brought down by popular culture but instead because their beliefs are anti-social.

> Tyler Durden is a pretty obvious reference to the quote "On a long enough timeline, the survival rate for everyone drops to zero"

It's an obvious reference to the character, using his name. It's not at all obvious from this article alone that it's referring to this quote. But you probably have some more context about this website? What is it about this website or this article that makes you think it's referring to this particular quote?

There's still significant construction going on, and many of those new homes are sitting on the market at prices similar to those purchased. I bought new in such a community; my section (finished last summer) was sold out pretty quickly, and the section just finishing filled in much slower, and the ones still under construction are sitting available even longer.

I got caught up in the middle of the massive rise in rates. I had a lock at 3.25, but documentation requirements that were a bit onerous forced me to shop. I found a decent alternative but by that time the rates were sitting at 5.25, which would have represented a $400 payment increase for the exact same house. Fortunately I was able to get things worked out with the original lender, but $400 is a significant difference. I could have done it with a developer income, but not everyone can. Takeaway: An affordable house 2 years ago isn't the same thing as an affordable house now, even at the same price.
> When migrating between systems, this difference presents a problem.

How does it break anything? ActivityPub ids can be any URI. You dont need to migrate your original rest-style links to anything - just publish those as the ids...

And if you are going in the other direction (and why would you), then I cant think of a single app router that ENFORCES you to use rest-style routes. It may be encouraged with many, but its certainly not enforced.

> Can the framework function in most of the ways we’d expect from a modern web framework, but with every URI being a UUID?

URIs should already be unique. You can use those...

> These requirements suggest that the framework would likely be content based, rather than route based

ActivityPub objects contain the type, so thats ALWAYS going to be the case to reliably use 3rd-party ActivityPub objects. As for locally-sourced objects, you can still use your rest-style URIs and use those URIs as the ActivityPub ids!

Lots of good things to ask here. Add also when, what and how much to feed it. When do they get treats. Is there a permission word or action. I teach all my dogs to ignore food until the trigger/permission word is given, and one of my dogs is nearly deaf so there is a hand signal that goes with it. Without the trigger word and hand signal, my dogs would nervously wonder why you keep teasing them with the treat.

From my perspective, as a proponent of the moral right to private property and free association, the great thing about Airbnb/Uber/etc is that they offer a non-political means of opposing and circumventing politically instituted restrictions on market exchange.

I believe public opinion will always be an insufficient guarantor of these rights, due to inherent cognitive biases and over-simplifications (in effect, ideological narratives), in addition to susceptibility to special interest public relations campaigns (e.g. right now, the Hotel Lobby has effectively manufactured the entire mainstream narrative around Airbnb: https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/16/technology/inside-the-hot...) so we need means of fortifying rights in the face of a hostile political climate.

You’re wrong. Your own article says that CBT does work.

I’m not a big believer in CBT, but I know for sure antidepressants, as they are used nowadays, is one massive scam.

For the record, I do support antidepressants usage to get out of very dark place initially. But they do not cure it.

We as a society need to put safety nets in place to make sure people don’t fall into those very dark places. Depression is not a virus or bacteria. It’s a socially spreading disease. But we need attitudes instead of masks to stop it. Attitudes held by both patients and surrounding people.

I'm saying humans don't produce language the same way LLMs do, because we have biological and social factors that result in the langue we use. Which is a bit more than predicting the next word based on a statistical model, even if that model does a good job at generating text that looks human-like. So yes, LLMs incorporate a lot of the structure of human language. No, that's not quite the same thing as humans producing language.

> Czechia is a European country you want to look at for an example that you can have gun laws that allow civilians to own handguns and carry them for defensive purposes without problems.

Let's see:

--- start quote ---

A gun in the Czech Republic is available to anybody subject to acquiring a firearms license. Gun licenses may be obtained in a way similar to a driving license – by passing a gun proficiency exam, medical examination and having a clean criminal record.

the issuing authority (police) firearm owners' database is connected to information needed for a background check and red flags any incidents that may lead to loss of license requirements. Similarly, health clearance by the general practitioner is needed for periodical renewal of license (every ten years).

* also very specific restrictions depending on license *

Obtaining the license requires passing a theoretical and practical exam.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_law_in_the_Czech_Republic

--- end quote ---

Oh look, already more strict than many states in the US (and some states are busy removing any restrictions).
I had started writing a 1-for-1 Pylint port in Rust (almost nowhere right now), but Ruff has gotten there way faster. Props!

Pylint is rough to make faster, party from the existing structure, but honestly at one point you are just paying a huge cost for traversing wide ASTs and doing all this work, and then paying extra for the Python object model.

In my profiling of Pylint, I've found some fixes, and I am curious about what something like slots or mypyc could do to it... but I'm also very partial to just having a system language implementation.

People talk about ease of contributing as a big advantage for these kinds of tools to be written in the language they are working on. Personally I've found that people who like messing with tools like the idea of learning languages to contribute.

My one kind of reservation about Ruff is that the code base is designed as "run each checker as its own function". My suspicion is that this leads to a performance ceilings as each checker is traversing the AST looking for its flavor of thing. Visitor patterns (theoretically!) allow for us to run checkers in parallel nicely. Granted the Ruff pattern allows for parallel work as well (and you can share all of the AST data between threads anyways), so maybe its "right". It definitely looks easier to maintain!
Redfin/Trulia/Zillow I would assume make more money on sellers than buyers (listing fees).

Right now inventory is extremely low even though prices are high, because everyone was told that prices would crash as interest rates rose, so prices basically didn't go down at all or even continued to increase. I suppose Redfin is financially interested in reminding sellers that prices are actually just as high this year as they were last year.
Only if there is zero market segmentation going on. My area is seeing a large number of new units go up, but they range from developments with no units below $1.5M to where all units are below $600k.

And even if you saw uniformity in the housing stock going in, the existing housing stock is going to vary. My parents just moved from a small city with a super depressed housing market. Current listings range from $90k to $900k- even in bad markets there are pockets high prices.

Question: does anyone have Mobian installed on a PinePhone Pro? What sort of limitations are still in place? I can see from the linked article that the LibCamera app now works, that's good.

According to a recent post on Reddit[1], bluetooth is still broken (not a big issue for me) and on the Mobian Wiki, it says that calls mostly work and SMS works[2]. Anyone knows more?

I used to have the older model of the PinePhone, and Mobian was, by far, my favourite distro. When I saw that the Pro came out, I told myself I will buy it once Mobian is ready.

Well, unless you’re already in the stratosphere of wealth where you you can take advantage of other financial instruments available to you like interest-only loans, jumbo mortgages, or stock/non-salary collateral (which by definition would put you outside the definition of a “typical household”), most banks will typically refuse to underwrite a mortgage that pushed up against the 36-42% debt-to-income ratio, which includes things like credit-card debt and other recurring payments, no matter how great your credit is. A 30% mortgage-to-income ratio, or even a 36% ratio if you have great credit, only leaves you around 6% for other debts before you hit that ceiling — which is another reason why something as standard as, say, student loans (especially the income-based payment ones) will lock out younger households from getting a mortgage, even if in their view they could still maybe make ends meet.

So even if a household “could” afford increased payments, good luck getting something as risk-averse as a bank to fund you.

Maybe if banks started offering 40 year (or even 99 year) mortgages, like they do in some EU countries, that would push the DTI threshold lower (though of course, you end up paying much more interest in the end)? But right now the US Government/Fannie Mae won’t underwrite loans which offer those terms, so here we are.
They are needed if they do anything with cookies and don’t block EU IP addresses: the laws are quite vague, and interpretation has for been quite broad.
At least here (non us) most if not all rental contracts forbid renting your place out as well as most mortgages. Some even have special Airbnb clauses with penalties attached. I know you can get mortgages which specifically allow it but in general they are more expensive, my guess is because there is a risk element involved for the lender.

Note: you can let people stay for free as house guardians, as this is not commercial activity.
I thought the same (and I was around at the time & in the 90s thought the 3dfx version was amazing)! Today the SVGA version looks like a cool retro style where as the blurry/smooth 3dfx version just looks cheap rather than a stylistic choice (in reality neither were stylistic choices at the time & both determined by the hardware available).

Author here - Thanks for reading. I'm glad to hear this post resonated with you. As long as you're learning new things with each experience, you're getting value from it. I know the goal is always to build value through wealth, and as we both know, that doesn't always work out. But for me personally, the things I've learned on this journey have tons of application to my career. It's just made me so much more well rounded. And I think if this doesn't work out and I went back to a full time job, I'd end up building more wealth in my career because I have these new skills. So, don't be too hard on yourself, there's still lots of value in the journey. Best of luck with your new project!

I don't think the situation is necessarily transitory in areas like Boston and New York, which were already experiencing some form of a housing supply crisis since before Covid.
I think everyone understands this barrier already, it's well discussed and my point was not to diminish the well-known challenges to the problem. The economic reasons I mentioned are another (much less discussed) angle that most people just aren't even aware of and is absolutely a barrier to large scale housing development.
I get it. It was an identity damaging question that was asked so it feels validating to use an identity reinforcing answer claiming that Europeans don't like monopolies etc etc

However, it is curiously exactly the opposite. Europe suffers from massive regulatory capture and very few breakout disruptive companies to challenge that status quo. The classic example in the dotcom 2 era is Deutsch Telekom and their approach to laundering prices through a totally captured regulator.

Of course Alstom-Siemens et al. will claim that there is no anticompetitiveness to the whole thing. But I think the truth is plain to see.

Personally, I think it's the same thing as always. It's always not the masters of the present who will be the innovators of the future.

It's referred to sort of in the Innovators Dilemma, but not quite. The empires of the ancient world, Chinese and Indian, did not have the Industrial Revolution. The empires of the old world did not have the Silicon Revolution.

Each is too busy protecting the agents of the status quo simply because they cannot risk throwing away their present greatness for future greatness. Almost no human beings can. Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg alone can.
There was an article posted here a while ago about how the supply of smaller starter homes specifically is much lower than it used to be in the past.
I agree.

> If you want to use Bulma or Bootstrap instead of Tailwind – no problem! Simply replace the function definitions in core_components.ex with your framework/UI specific implementations

"Simply" here means rewriting a 661 lines file. Maybe a more modular approach with only Tailwind support at release would have been better.

I know I'm always the "Symfony does it better" guy but in this framework to use Bootstrap (or Foundation etc) for my forms[0] I "simply" have to put:

> form_themes: ['bootstrap_5_horizontal_layout.html.twig']

Well maybe the first person to actually rewrite core_components.ex will share it in a Gist or something ;)

I also find the new collocated views in the controllers folder a bit messy and not really productive in practice IMHO.

If you can raise (or borrow at 0% interest) Billions of dollars, it makes sense, and is a dirt cheap thing to do. It keeps all the people you've hired from becoming your competitors, and you might even profit from their work in the mean while.
That's still focusing on the wrong problem though: if Madison Square garden had simply told security to eject the lawyer, it would be the same issue. The problem isn't facial recognition, it's that they thought they could or should do this at all.
Those are not the ones that are causing the most problems. Anyone who uses Airbnb seriously knows how rare it is for these places to be in anyone's primary homes (a lot of partial rentals or renting out of vacation homes when not there, of course)
