  • Im having trouble parsing your first question, but I’ll take a crack anyway.

    I’d probably calculate tax based on what a vacant unit is available for, if it isn’t available could do something like last known rent adjusted for market or calculations based on property value.

    The idea being they’ll list it for rent at a reasonable rate instead of keeping it off the market or keeping rent high in order to fill units.

    Some dudes fourth property or a CEOs second apartment aren’t the problems with housing though. It’s investment capital grabbing properties and doing nothing with them. Buildings standing vacant because they weren’t profitable enough. Empty lots we won’t even let the homeless camp on.

    A number of these properties are essentially abandoned, forgotten about by bankrupt companies where ownership is on an unsorted piece of paper in a filing cabinet. We’ve got an “affordable apartment complex” out here the company stopped building on quietly after the publicity ran out and it was no longer cost effective.

    Resources hoarded and wasted for the rest of us to fight over scraps.











  • I usually get people asking for my number or socials when they’re interested, asking out tends to happen over electronic communication after that.

    My process is basically

    1. Casual conversation- if you don’t hit it off naturally here, let it go.
    2. Reciprocal flirting
    3. Exchange contact info
    4. Develop friendship
    5. Ask out directly
    6. ???
    7. Go back to 1

    I also get told I’m very attractive in various verbage near daily so 🤷‍♀️

    Idk, just be respectful and don’t be pushy if they’re trying to let you down (and pay attention for if they’re trying to do it gently)





  • I’m brought to mind of the concept that any movement must have a peaceful branch for the system to acknowledge and meet demands for change as well as a “violent” branch to drive the opponents to the bargaining table. And within both of those is a need to take care of the community to enable them to continue to protest for change.

    I think where these protests will succeed or fail is community coming together to take care of each other, with a safety net so many more people will be able to participate and make their voices heard.
