Housing needs to be affordable and have increased supply. Here’s how we can get it without taxpayer subsidy. 1. 50 year mortgages- stop your virtue signaling. This isn’t for everyone but in fast appreciating markets it can build wealth instead of renting. I’m fine restricting them to first time buyers, buyers with 700 credit scores, or something similar. 2. Roll back building codes 30 years. Almost none of these new codes add value despite claims of “saving lives” or fire safety. Yet these things easily add 20-30% to construction costs. 3. Put a maximum timeline and cost on entitlements. Endless studies and reports add cost and risk and rarely turn up anything that wasn’t obvious anecdotally. 4. Put the human habitat first. Obscure bugs and rodents shouldn’t have any influence on housing approvals.

Best interview of the year. Hands down. Every parent needs to listen . You get hooked in the first minute. Calley Means made more enemies with this episode. He stops short of saying it, but we need a third party candidate with legitimacy to save us and lead a revolution.

JD Vance finally being honest. He's distancing himself from Trump.

Can we get a legit third party now? Elon musk can you please help so people like me can vote their conscience?

Eagles need to get Tua to replace Jalen Hurts. That would be such a perfect storyline. Tua might not want to play football anymore but he can be signed for no money... or they could get Mac jones.

Residential detached cottage units for rent or self storage units? I’ve got 17 acres. Zoning not an issue. No public sewer. Excellent marketing window for both. SS occupancy seems around 90-92% in a lower rate market (rural south). Cottages will rent about $1.25 per sqft. What should I do?

I’m sorry, but it should be illegal for anyone with the name Bo Jackson to play football… and at running back no less. I can’t get used to it.

When is @joerogan gonna get Luke from Outdoor boys on the JRE? Someone please pass this along. 21 million followers on youtube alone!

The absolute two worst things a married couple can do to avoid a divorce: 1. Build a house 2. Have a baby Unfortunately I’ve seen too many bad marriages and these two things almost ALWAYS happen… usually both. And after the sugar rush they are right back to divorce papers yet they’ve brought another poor soul into the fray who is entitled to a loving mom and dad but doesn’t get it, and/or took on huge debt.

If Bryce young played on any other football team… ANY team… he’d be a perennial pro bowler and probably have a Super Bowl appearance. Every year the Carolina panthers find a new way to stink and the media tries to blame Bryce young.

I’d like to know what @Jason and the @theallinpod have to say about this.

I’ve seen enough. Put in Ty Simpson. Rams and 49ers.

Been saying this since spring. Our work is done. Let the locals figure the rest out. Bring out troops home. All of them. Even the ones from before the Iran conflict.

Real estate Contract assignment: do you demand the assignment fee upon execution? How much teeth do you put in the agreement to avoid letting them ruin the deal or back out at the last minute and you get left trying to perform? I think the fee should be paid in full upon execution. Rare exceptions.

Reminder that if politicians truly cared about affordable housing they would roll back building codes 25 years to get safe and affordable homes overnight without taxpayer subsidy or complicated laws. Easily 10% savings probably closer to 20% in some places.

Agree with Trump here. Data centers are the new nuclear power plant. Someone doesnt want them... but we need them. Think 20 years ahead. Unless Elon can get them in orbit in the next few years...

Entitlements: have you ever seen or heard about a city that did NOT jump at the chance to rezone land out of agricultural into low density residential? (Conforms with general plan)

This is why we need minimal zoning regulations. He’s planning to rent these out. As a developer I’m all about property rights but that doesn’t mean people get free rein to destroy property values and bring in potential safety risks. I’m not anti-trailer, either. But converting two sheds and bringing in three trailers (that look like they got for free on Facebook marketplace) is just asking for problems with minimal financial gain. The owner is using family land and even has his own very nice home a couple hundred feet away! Why would he do this?!? Our county road has been steadily growing with nice homes well above average. My wife and daughters run past here. Not any more. I hope he quickly learns the hard way that this rent will not be nearly pure profit. Lots of headaches, expenses, and danger.
