Yes, but you can never spend more than 100% of your income as long as your income is your primary means of obtaining money. In fact, I think most people would have a hard time spending more than even 65% of their income on housing. Now, I

Or, reduce demand by spreading out jobs to other cities and states where their more needed. (not ideal, i know, but it is a secondary option)

Yup. And even if you view housing as an investment and even if you create policies in favor of that, in the long run, you're not going to have greater gains anyways because the growth is not sustainable. Long run, housing always has

no, i don't repair them because at 10$ it's cheaper to buy a new pair than have it repaired.

Shoes is one of those things I almost never need to buy, now that I'm an adult and fully grown. Even the very cheapest ones can last me 10 years or more without wearing out. Actually, it's the Nikes that wear out much faster, it

It also shows what kind of growth and development is possible when a city isn't hamstrung with oppressive NIMBYs and regulations.

The US gov has had large deficit spending equivalent to 3-4% of GDP per year for the last 20 years, and yet GDP per capita has only increased 1% per year. That's pretty darn bad. That's like driving your car petal to the meddle

This will be known as the everything bubble, everyone saw coming. I don't think anyone's going to be surprised when this melt down arrives. Though the length of recovery needed to bounce back will surprise people who haven'

A shrinking population can be better than a growing population. Currently, we're experience a drop in material quality of life, due to limited resources, limited land, cities not having enough space for people, etc. A shrinking popul

I'm confused as to why there would be a sign anywhere near the flight path of an airplane.

But HR isn't the only problem. In my experience having worked for a company that hired heavily for several years, it was the engineers who lacked the talent necessary to conduct proper interviews. Great candidates were being rejected

For Sure. I know I would switch in a hearbeat, if there was an equivalent service that costs equal or less. And just imagine the possibilities. once you can get your ISP internet anywhere, you won't even need a data plan on your phon

I hope google catches onto the fact that, as a user, I don't want a bunch a dwell time when I'm looking for a recipe. Right now the winning strategy seems to be to write really long stories, forcing the user to search in the arti

You should ask the red states and red cities. Generally speaking, they don't have these egregious nimbys. Houston even with 2 MIL population, and fast growing, still keeps housing prices low, even after a hurricane!!!

1800$ per year will adds up to a lot for anyone still working. if you earn 20K after taxes then that's 9% of your income! If you earn 140K before taxes, 100K after taxes that's still almost 2%! that's almost enough to pay

And yet, markets are nearly at all time highs. I'd like to see a breakdown of who's buying stocks/equities. EDIT: I know earnings are high, but much of our growth over the last 20 years has been during 2-4% GDP deficit. I d

anytime you grow at an unsustainable rate, a slowdown is inevitable. It's not a question of if, its a question of when.

does the 0.1% really make that much of a difference in the environment? even if they were driving a 12mpg aventador all over the place, that's still only 5 times more pollution than a prius. and most likely they'll be driving le

you hold voters/politicians responsible. Voters are the ones who keep voting for politicians that subsidize the oil industry. We need to stop the subsidies. And then add in some steep extra taxes on oil/gas to offset the damage

You just need jobs. Companies respond to incentives, so just make the initial incentives really really advantageous and i'm sure those jobs will show up. Just look at all the trouble a company like Amazon goes through to eek out ever
