I remember them saying years and years ago that it is actually going to be more compact.

We're always being told that Columbus is so good at this but the area is so segregated by type of work. People with blue collar jobs don't live anywhere close to people with white collar jobs. So your all-important high school network determines much of your fate.

Possibly so they could hold more weight? The old tracks could have been be left over from the horse-drawn Omnibus days and this upgrade could be for larger, heavier rolling stock that holds more passengers.

A lot of buildings on the property are downright strange.

That is one organization that I can picture could be unsympathetic to urbanist concerns.

I just got gas for $3.99 in Ashville.

Overall it sounds like the agents were acting like 2005 douchebros that nobody that has their crap together wants to be around.

Maybe put in the sprinkler system earlier

There is a part of me that worries Ryan might be Manchin III.

I suppose signs like the Amoco one are why cities have sign rules.

What makes SFH suck as compared to multifamily, mixed-use and commercial for rental/investment purposes are practical reasons. A entire roof, driveway, lots of plumbing, siding/exterior paint, a yard, sidewalks, often a basement, sometimes garages, utility hookups, washer/dryer etc. for only ONE unit. I don't care if you're getting $2000/mo -- that's a lot to deal with. It's a total market distortion caused by too little existing multifamily and mixed-use (but not too much commercial in good locations) for these corporate entities to invest in without becoming developers. You need to have way more SFH units to make money as compared to an apartment complex where all that stuff is shared (or doesn't exist) and the pipes won't freeze. Plus someone can start "small" with only $500K or so (don't believe these shysters that think you only need $50K) as opposed to a multifamily/mixed use developer who needs serious access to capital. Oh and when SFH goes down due to multiple maintenance issues it can take months to fix as compared to an apartment complex unit where about the most can go wrong is a dog ruined the carpet and a drunk ex-boyfriend smashed the toilet so you have your internal maintenance people go up there and fix it one day rather than hiring contractors. Most people who are small-time in SFH either inherited them, are renting out their old house, can't think past SFH because they are unaware that it's not good for investment purposes, only have an SFH mindset due to American culture or are at the bottom of the super long Washington D.C. MetroRail station-length escalator that leads to being a corporate SFH investor.

Well then, I'd like to know what percentage of the 2008 crash can be attributed to homeownership being extended to disadvantaged groups and how much of it was tribal tattoo Chad and Karen asking to speak to the manager about a way bigger McMansion and matching Hummer H2s in 2005. It is hard to maintain an owner-occupied home when you're in proverty, but one user here constantly beats the drum about how bad it was to create a path to homeownership for disadvantaged groups while society and pop culture as a whole have been with the Chad and Karen narrative since like 2003. Note that Chad and Karen were portrayed as younger than the average homebuyer at the time, say 25-35, not college educated or had technical degrees and already had kids or would soon.

As with any investment a lot of times it comes down to time horizon. The longer you keep it the more hot streaks you hit. As an investment class SFH isn't really all that good unless you're a quick flipper that does things cheaply and at scale. Nontheless, homeownership is indeed the much of difference that has made white people, in the aggregate, have greater wealth than minorities.

The only issue I see with that is that landlords directly pass property tax increases to the tenants through rent increases -- at least "pro" landlords do. Maybe old ladies with inherited properties don't as much with existing tenants, but most people doing it for a living don't eat margin like that.

^I can already tell the size difference at the mid-major schools.

That's an old Cross Country Inn motel. Outside-entry motels definitely don't fit this area anymore.

The bill would ostensibly be a Vince Carter at the 2000 All-Star Game dunk so that's probably why they're holding it hostage by making us take an ideological bill with it or cutting funding for something that 20 percent of the population doesn't like but the people who don't like it REALLY don't like it.

^It's a symptom of not having nodes due to lack of rail transit. Without nodes things happen willy-nilly like this.

That's good news! That gym can go though, IMO.

I don't get the feeling that the Harley Guys are going to show up for Vance. And they're not concerned with factory jobs since they've already got their money. You can tell by their appearance that they are beyond caring about fired.

If Amazon gets their way and voice synthesis for anyone's voice finds adoption it's going to be tough on remote work since someone with that technology could fake anyone's approval or make them "say" things they didn't actually say.

I'm not talking so much about experiences that require "gear". It's the gearless ones such as the aforementioned escape rooms, taprooms, restaurants, family fun centers or the minimal gear ones such as day hikes and running events. Perhaps we could make a goods cost/time entertained ratio.

An economy centered around experiences rather than goods like we saw in the 2010s is more tenuous than the goods-oriented one we saw from 1950-2000. Why? It's easier to find profitability with goods rather than experiences. In experiences, losses are considered part of the game and there is an enormous amount of margin-cutting in order to simply be allowed to keep doing it. That is considered unacceptable in goods and will result in the organization swiftly leaving the market.
