Sure, it’s hypothetically possible that it would slow down the mega corps. I wouldn’t be holding my breath, though. IDK, call me a cynic.
Pretty much any housing changes will need to be written to be bulletproof, otherwise they’ll loophole the ever-loving shit out of it.
I do see one problem with this type of regulation – if you say “no more than 3 homes per entity”, the “homes 4 rent” megalandlords will just create thousands of “homes 4 rent asdf” shell companies to get around the limit. I foresee tons of cat-and-mouse accounting shenanigans trying to dodge this sort of requirement.
A simpler method would be to increase both the property taxes and the homestead exemption, tuned so that individual homeowner pays about the same.
Limiting Airbnbs would help, too. Require city or county licensing for all guest accommodations, maybe, and have a set number of licenses?
Also, I don’t want to try to kill off all housing rentals. Think about college housing, about people moving halfway across the country for a job, people who’ve just gotten divorced… there are lots of circumstances where it makes more sense to rent for a time than to pony up $$$ to buy a house or a condo. In a functional market, this would be, say, 10% of housing, and you wouldn’t have the absurdity of “I pay $3000 in rent because the bank doesn’t think I’ll pay a $2000 mortgage”.
Hmm, I don’t really remember that. OTOH, it HAS been a long time since I’ve watched DS9. I rewatched TNG more recently, so I have that Keiko in mind.
Yep. Blast from the past.
Wait, people would seriously put her as ‘most annoying’ on TNG or DS9? Next to Wesley and Winn?!
we had The Phantom Menace
Hey, I thought we were talking about decent examples of sci fi
TNG … 50%
I’d put it more like 25%. That being said, I def consult episode guides when I’m rewatching and skip accordingly.
I don’t recognize her. What show?
Hmm, it’s been a while since something reminded me of alt.wesley.crusher.die.die.die
I came here to ask the same thing!
Did you reply to the wrong comment?
So you’re saying copyright infringement is on par with speeding or parking past the meter’s end? Eh, fair enough.
If you do something illegal, you should be arrested.
Copyright infringement lawsuits are a far cry from bomb threats or the like.
I use podman at work, mostly just a Docker replacement. My biggest problem with it is typing “pdoman” in commands by mistake.
Good idea for those who are covered by the GDPR. Doesn’t help me, though.
Don’t regret too much. I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit’s “delete” function was really just "move to the “suckers-wanted-to-delete-this” file.
Use the force, NegativeNull!
then there really is no hope for this world.
I don’t know how to tell you this, but…
Speak for yourself. I, for one, do not miss needing to suffer through intro animations before the real site would load, “designed for Internet Explorer 4”, or the endless ad popups of the era.
Points for nostalgia though
