Ohio: Fortune 500 Companies Updates & Discussion
Looks like it was a bad year for insurance companies overall. Lots of losses. Probably a lack of new policies written. People not having enough money to keep current policies active too. COVID payouts... were there enough of those to significantly affect the business?

Ohio: Fortune 500 Companies Updates & Discussion
Wait how can revenue be up that much yet the company drops in ranking as compared to 2019? So everyone else's revenue went up too? That can't be true if they're 7th in revenue growth percentage.

Revenue must have went down due to COVID factory closures.

Gentrification News & Discussion
That was like in the early 2010s when people were using 2000-2010 numbers to try and prove that people weren't moving to cities since 2000-2006 had so much sprawl that it skewed the numbers even though big things were happening 2005-2010.

Maybe they couldn't get it funded if it had "retail".

20 years ago that would be a total joke but considering how many truckers today are immigrants it's really not that much of a stretch.

Hm yeah, depending on location, smaller lots a lot of times mean older parts of town where houses are less likely to be move-in ready. Non-move-in ready today means supply is more available and the inventory sits longer.

To remove detail. Because, apparently, "Millennials don't like detail" so everything has to be dull and monochromatic now.

Rethinking Transport in the USA
A lot of cars are fine. It's the overemphasis on bigass trucks and SUVs. I get the feeling that we have a 1979 moment coming all over again where the car companies pushed so hard for oversize and too much tech/luxury that they'll have to start over with smaller cars again. This time it won't necessarily be over fuel prices and shortages but rather other market limitations. Remember that EVs are not subject to CAFE so the massive market distortion caused by the free pass given to trucks disappears.

GCrites replied to CMH_Downtown's post in a topic in Central & Southeast Ohio Projects & ConstructionI think people have to get X amount of bored/frustrated with Ginther before he changes or someone with bigger ideas challenges him. He even got to run unopposed last time!

The Future of America and Its Cities
Seattle's urbanism got messed up because a lot of tech workers are couchlocked and have everything delivered to them like they're royalty or something. (assuming pre-COVID). When at work all their food comes from inside the building. They do not add value to the community like an insurance company does with their relaxed staff and family focus.

I think earthquakes are a lot harder on commercial and multifamily than SFH.

Housing Market & Trends
And both payroll taxes and sales taxes don't count since they are flat and regressive, respectively. Only progressive taxes count since they "punish success". Ohio state income tax is "super evil" since it is aggressively progressive.

Housing Market & Trends
If it's not a tax it's not a "real bill", duh. Let alone things like having to install garage anchors and high-winds roofs like you see in Florida and the rest of the Coastal South. Of course rich people don't notice that stuff. California has earthquakes yet the insurance adjusters (who are very good at their jobs) don't raise the bill much more than we pay in Ohio. You wonder why the SD and NE are so much more than neighboring states. More people living close to rivers?

Ohio Intercity Rail (3C+D Line, etc)
I guess they're considering that a commuter school, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were at least a few thousand students who have decided to move close to Columbus State.
