Assuming this lot is located in a high-rent, heavily regulated area like SF or NY, why would you assume that a lot zoned for SFR would be assessed at the same rate as MFR, and especially high-rise development?


That's not a pure LVT anymore is it? Nevertheless my point stands that if you build a larger development on the same land you would put a greater strain on public services without contributing more.

Now you probably want to encourage building more housing on the same land to alleviate the lack of housing (which is why an LVT is so often proposed) but local taxation first and foremost has to fund local public services, or there really is no point. You can additionally penalize leaving land undeveloped, but that should be a secondary tax (or penalty) on top of a basic one that scales with the cost of providing those services, not the primary source of funding for local government.


You can profit from undermining the market. Futures volumes may currently be too low to find enough liquidity to use them for financing a major attack but this could change when BB’s start selling them in earnest to clients.


This had more to do with safety system failres and procedures regarding operation of critical valves than poison kinetics.

LM designs were abandoned prior to this accident due to availability and maintainability issues.


To what end?

The USN has, to a material degree, perfected the compact PWR.

Their experience in fuel design, materials, cooling, support systems, control systems, and processes pose an enormous barrier to new systems other than those that could truly radically simplify the reactor system and yield a huge gain in reduced manpower and increased reliability.

I think the best marginal gains are coming and will come from developments in tactical and ISR systems.


The correct term would be “facilities”, but this jargon is only used for corporate/UHNW clients with complex credit needs IME.


This business requires many to be confronted with complexity at scale. I think these problems are universal but few encounter them due to the distribution of employees in organizational hierarchies.


So they need profit, which is negatively impacted by costs.


It’s possible that this code has bugs that have yet to be detected. It’s a fact that quality is important if it can generate losses. Style may not be particularly important, but reliability is.


10MM is exactly the market value of the cabin, for as long as the bid stands.

Once the owner accepts that bid, the liquidity in the market has been completely taken, and the likely future market value reverts to ~100,000.


Perhaps for anti-money laundering compliance.
