@resetbasis did you see this one? Outside of your normal, but I think you'd appreciate the implied shenanigans. I know someone who went into this, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't want me asking about it...

I just checked on Skybridge opportunity zone funds investment in Virgin Hotels in New Orleans and I see it got zeroed out. One way to avoid paying taxes I guess

Nice to meet @MFRE_Shenanigan in person

Gemini seems to have gone the way of chatgpt, ie derating to garbage to save money. Guess it's time to try Claude. Ironically Gemini did recommend that, I'm surprised bit one hasn't been edited out of the model

@bobbyfijan Just curious given your thoughts here: why not 32x60 lots instead of 16x120. Ssame density, but instead of 16*40*3 rowhouse w/ 160 sq ft front 1120 sq ft back, 28*24*3 detached w/ 160 sq ft front (less setback), 1000 sq ft wider back, access via path, no neighbor noise, easy reno

@robbiehendricks *complaining about California

This is so good. It literally could be a table of contents for an excellent book

Paying for Gemini instead of Chatgpt now, let's see how this goes

The Flu that's going around is like being hit by a truck. Xofluza seems like a good med though

From WaPo. "There are now more Americans with mortgage rates higher than 6 percent than below 3 percent." That's a big deal in freeing up the housing market. Will be interesting to see what happens. Might actually lead to minor price drops as supply comes online

Private equity has bought my elevator sub. This makes me nervous. Hope Plexus is smart money, not dumb money

I hate the fact that it's the crack of dawn and I'm up on a weekend. Worst thing about going to Europe is the jet lag

To the extent anyone's wondering Polaris lie flat is not flat if you are 6'5

Paris is a complete zoo this time of year. Also I'm supposed to be in London par for the course. Thanks Eurostar!

I am quite sure this would become a competitive sport in the US

@united Polaris first class seat to London

Booked @united in first to London. Yesterday. They missed the flight then we booked me for today. Now they've put me in the back in the middle seat. I strongly recommend against @united first from EWR it is pure torture

The Newark Polaris Club is very nice. The fact that I'm in Newark and not on a flight to London is much less nice

I'm actually pretty excited by the idea of a plug-in hybrid pick up truck I hope Ford actually does this.

It's G Wagon Season! Or tax management if you prefer. Anyone have any thoughts on mixed use Pickups and bonus depreciation? Is there a thread?
