A very good point, but I think it has to go both ways. Both renters and landlords need to feel like they're getting a good deal. Kill rent control without increasing supply or enacting other protections, and suddenly the fairness scale tips over to the landlords and completely away from many (most?) residents.

Definitely agree that the current situation is broken, but I was only suggesting that "it wouldn't be fair to landlords" is a bit too simple a consideration to make things right.

I GOT your point. I don't care about your point because it is not the question I am asking.

Why are you answering something I did not ask?

I am asking why does Danack prefer strict mode. There is absolutely nothing in my question that cares about the specific details how you convert bits to types, other than that you do.

My question is entirely about WHO does the conversion. NOT about the conversion itself.

(Oh, and the thing about bad-data has a defined meaning that went over your head because you are not familiar with the debate here. In this context bad-data means data loss on conversion. So "1" to 1 is fine, but "1 a" to 1 is not.)

Actually, that is law in Germany. For every amount of building space (residential, business, ...) you are required to provide a number of parking space (depending on the type of building). If you can not provide the required amount of parking space, then you have to pay a fee to the city. All the numbers like required parking space and amount for the fee is decided by the city. So in high density cities the fee is more expansive than in the country side.

Pen*se'd: We turn your enemy's logo into a
Hey, this all started with a question by someone asking if making your renters unable to afford their rent to fulfill a profit motive makes one an asshole. I said yes.

So what do we do to address the problem at hand? It sounds like you'd advocate for a repeal of rent control, because landlords should be able to extract all the profit they can from their properties? That's not going to fix the housing supply issue; all it's going to do is turn SF into a rich-people-only city where service workers need to live elsewhere and get bused in every day. That's not a place I want to live, and would be a direct result of "market forces" -- but not really, because government regulation nullifies market forces in many cases. Rent control is only one part of it... prop 13 and the city's byzantine planning process are others, and there are certainly more.

So, looking for suggestions? Here's what we do:

1. Gut the city's construction planning process. Make it more objective and based on zoning laws and building codes, as well as continuing to include provisions for low-income housing. Raise (and in some areas eliminate) building-height restrictions. Also, residents in the area no longer get a veto on new construction projects. As long as a building proposal follows the rules, it gets a rubber stamp. No discussion.

2. Repeal prop 13 for rental properties, and only allow it to apply to an owner's primary residence (obviously this is more difficult since prop 13 is state and not city law). This recognizes that owning a home gives you an illiquid asset, and fluctuations in property taxes (especially in an area like SF with strongly rising property values) can cause people to need to move. Homeownership should at least still offer that kind of security.

3. Repeal rent control city-wide and replace it with a gov't subsidy tied to renters' income. This subsidy can be funded with extra tax revenue from #2, and can likely be phased out over several years as rents stabilize and drop. I expect that rents will initially rise, but will start to lower again after a year or two under the new rules, and even more after a few more years as #1 reduces (and hopefully eliminates) the deficit in the housing supply. The (temporary) subsidy protects existing tenants until there's enough housing to support people of any economic status.

4. This is more subjective, but: make it more attractive for landlords to buy out their tenants (or just keep them) than to use shady practices like finding reclassification loopholes and bullying by doing the bare minimum required by law to maintain their properties. I'm not sure of the exact mechanisms to do this, but incentives should be aligned so that landlords want to keep good, steady, reliable tenants, even if new tenants might net them some extra cash. Basically we want to create an environment where landlords are mostly happy to keep their current tenants, but while tenants are also not afraid of the prospect of needing to move.

Is that helpful enough?

The practice of medicine by human Doctors probably can't be much further optimized from what it is right now.

Maybe this is true for the 95-99% most common of conditions. Doctors can be shockingly bad at diagnosing anything they don't see on a daily basis. (rare-ish conditions, unusual presentations, or anything discovered since they studied medicine)

Google search is probably very inefficient for this kind of thing, but specialised search engines based on bayesian networks or similar might get you some leads on what to test for a lot faster than going from doctor to doctor in the hope that one of them might have an idea that pans out.

> Turns out, this was good preparation for real life in the competitive fields that many of us chose.

I wonder if this is self-reinforcing. When you're used to huge amounts of stress from school, it seems natural that companies will try to take advantage of that and simply start expecting more. Or when graduates from such schools get into positions of management, they might not even see that what they're asking of people is not healthy, because it's become perfectly normal for them. But it's a zero-sum game. How long before it spirals out of control, if it hasn't already?

1. Having read a ton of patents across multiple fields, that could be said of most patents ever (not just software patents). Most patents come out of engineering work, not high-level R&D.

I don't think the problem is that I don't understand capitalism; I just believe that the absolute application of it can be harmful in some cases.

I'll start by saying that I do believe that capitalism is pretty much the best we have right now, and has allowed for greater prosperity than other economic systems up to this point.

However, I do think that the public good needs to be taken into account and act as a balance for capitalism sometimes. Housing is a good example for this, as I don't believe the public good is served by allowing property owners to charge as much as they can. Call that socialist if you want; so be it... I do have some socialist leanings.

If we were to repeal rent control tomorrow, rents would shoot up across the board. Formerly rent-controlled apartments would see their rents go up like crazy. Formerly non-rent-controlled apartments might see rent increases slow, but they would almost certainly not drop, at least not for a year or two. Demand is still high (and is still getting higher), and the bay area increasingly houses people who really want to live in SF, and are able to afford higher rents. SF is limited in land area, so, without a massive increase in the housing supply, we're limited in population expansion. With the average & median rent increasing, many people at the low end will be displaced. SF will become a place where only high earners can live, which means most service workers will need to move out of the city and be bused in, or drive, or just fail to find jobs due to lack of transportation options.

That last bit is an example of why I think the public good needs to (through regulation) balance out capitalism sometimes. Lower-income people being unable to live in SF is IMO a bad thing. Increasing the number of cars/buses on the road is a bad thing; causing people to live farther away from their jobs is economically wasteful. Also note that many of the high-income people moving into SF in this scenario will be moving to SF while keeping their peninsula/south bay jobs, further increasing the commute problem.

Definitely agree that regulation and new laws do sometimes form a feedback loop as unintended consequences and loopholes are discovered. But I don't think that's an excuse not to try, because a lightly- or un-regulated market is not going to help, either.

I don't think they will ever get rid of prop. 13.

I remember my conservative/blue collar father breathed a huge sigh of relief when prop 13 was passed. Before prop 13 property taxes were kicking older/retired/sick/middle income people out of their homes--yearly.

If you are lucky and can buy a home in the Bay Area--believe me forced retirement comes pretty quick.(This goes 10 fold for non-union workers). Getting old sucks! Having to get rid of a house you maintained for years because you can't afford the property taxes is criminal.

I was a child, but state and local taxes were completely out
of control. Home owners listened to every angry word Howard Jarvis spewed out. Even as a child, I knew that angry man was right.

(To be completely honest; I still think property taxes are too high. All those bonds and temporary scare tactics add up. It's almost like people don't realize just because
some politician's pet project looks good in the ballot box doesn't mean you don't need to pay for it? )

I know rents suck. I don't have any respect for people who make their living off renter either--yes, I think it a horrid
way to make money! If I pissed off a Landlord, all that comes to mind is a image of Eddie Murphy behind bars on SNL--repeating, "I hate my landlord!"

That said, I don't think rents would go down if they got rid of prop 13. Why--because people are greedy bastards! Rah-rah Capitalism!

The relation with Rails illustrates how lively the PHP community is. Rails was one big step ahead, PHP copied Rails in a hundred different ways, iterated through that for 3 generations of frameworks and is now well ahead of the simplistic RoR ecosystem.
