30% faster than what?

How much does it cost? I’m not signing in just to see the pricing.

Why not use replicate’s api?

$0.00055 per second or $0.033 per minute. Is that cheaper or more expensive than what you are charging?

Weird, I’m only seeing one video.

It’s not now.

You know, I don’t think I’ve ever known how far up the red line goes, geographically speaking.

I’d be kind of surprised if they do (and advertise it).

I imagine most companies are more than willing to put in a factory dashcam for an extra $2k though, or as part of the safety and technology package that’s $8k.

Little over 7 tons of cast iron; it weighs over 14,360 pounds.

No steel though.

Oh look. Another way to inject micro plastics into the environment.

The question isn’t a matter of what the nation is doing though.

The question is what is Richmond doing. (Or whatever city you want to do this for.)

Richmond appears to be here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/HOWNRATEACS051760

Ownership rate is nearly 20 points below national average, and is at ~44%.

That feels troubling, but I’d like more recent data.

So, does Richmond want homeownership for its population or not?

You are wrong about it being the “second highest in history”

It’s even worse when you look at cities that have a high proportion of landlords that use yieldstar.

The root question is do we want to become a nation of renters, or of homeowners?

A. It can be whatever is needed for the population, as appropriate.

B. If the pie is 1000 housing units, corporate landlords would get 300 of them, leaving 700 for people to purchase and live in. If the corporate landlords want more than 300 units, they can build more units, keep 30% and sell the rest.

It wouldn’t be taking though. It’s no more a taking than a zoning code.

Oooo

We could make property tax 10x for any ownership over the limits decided.

That would work to make it less profitable to scoop up lots of properties.

How is it unconstitutional?

Not restricting supply in the slightest.

Would actually encourage more supply so corporate landlords can increase the number of rentals they have.

Could easily be fixed by our representatives putting a cap on the number of rentals any one entity can own, especially if end chain ownership is where the count takes place at.

I see no reason why any city/county/town can’t simply legislate what they want their housing situation to look like. 70% owned/30% rentals, for example.

Would require minimal overhead, I’d expect. Simple website to list if it’s “approved” as a rental, same place for registering your rental, and a tie in with the SCC for determining ownership.

Blackrock probably wouldn’t like it though.

Had that that stoner look

Out of curiosity, what do you think is driving that lack in DC?
