Just want to second this. Still seeing an issue in our build right now that seems related.

The supply of landlords is not fixed. If subsidies make it attractive for suppliers to offer housing, more housing will be built and the prices they can demand will fall. Subsidies naturally give rise to a glut and underconsumption which is exactly what you want.

I am actually in the market for a new TV. Are all of them like this now? For me this is an absolute deal breaker. I would be willing to pay more specifically to not have this 'feature'. Can anyone suggest brands or TV lines that do not have this?

This. NYC is more than just Manhattan. My two children, my wife and I live in a 3 BR apt, with backyard access and laundry in the basement, in Ridgewood, Queens for 1750 a month. Its 30 minutes to Union Sq. by subway and 40 minutes by bicycle. I am amazed when new college grads at my job tell me they are renting a room in Manhattan for how much I am paying for a full floor apartment in Queens.

Some things never change. The absolute amount would be different but otherwise you could cut and paste the exact same comment to Usenet in the mid 1980s and it wouldn't look at all out of place.

Shh, don't spoil Ridgewood! When people find out they can get a whole house with a yard for the price they pay for a room in Williamsburg we'll get overrun.

No one paying for a room in Williamsburg (or most of the other high costs neighborhoods) wants a "full house and a yard". I really don't understand the American obsession with huge living spaces. Just increases the amount you have to clean, and the amount of junk you're liable to fill it with.

The best argument is for kids, but for me and many (most) of my peers at least, that's the last thing we want. I'd also argue that raising children in the South/MidWest does them a great disservice in terms of cut potential in education and career prospects but that's neither here nor there.

The space is more about supporting a variety of hobbies that require space and/or the space is available at minimal cost likely both in time & money.

With my tech friends, they seem to be able to live ridiculously minimally as their life outside of the essentials fits into a laptop/desktop. My non-tech friends are less so.

Some activities that like having more space are as follows. Sure, most on this list are available via affordable to semi-luxurious subscriptions and/or coops or definitely can be done in a small space, yet having a personal version of it or additional space offers a decent QoL improvement in the form of time saved, or simply not having to share space/equipment with family/strangers.

  - Gym Equipments (powerrack, barbells, etc)
  - Sauna
  - Gardening
  - Music (neighbors don't complain about your noise)
  - Crafts
  - Wood/Metal working
  - Cooking/Baking
  - Pets
  - Art Studio (ceramics, painting, drawing, etc)
  - Automotive

A bunch of these tend to also be activities/skills that some people derive a large part of their identity & happiness from, thus giving that up for living in a small space sounds like a preposterous suggestion to them.

In July I was 203 pounds which for a 5'6" frame, put me in the "obese" category. It was the highest weight I had ever been, and I felt I occupied more space than I should in the world ( not in a good way ). I follow a youtuber on Indian cooking and for whatever reason this woman mentioned how she recently started eating in a more "Keto" way. This woman is thin as a rake. She mentioned she was doing this for mental clarity. On a whim, I decided to try it. I literally threw the little debbie box I had my hand in, in the garbage that day. Today, I am 166 pounds, still "overweight" but this is the most amount of weight I have ever lost. I feel so much better and healthier, and its true about the mental clarity. My unsubstantiated hypothesis is that it takes away the emotional swings insulin give you. I eat till I am full. Honestly. There is not a day that I "think" about what I am eating other than keeping sugar and carbs out my month. I could not be happier. I am a 38 yo technology professional, and I imagine many others here are similar. I have nothing to sell. I just want to make people aware of a lifestyle that may help many of us who sit all day for a living.

Could you elaborate a bit on how you learned sales by your self? Did you just start cold calling? I have no experience in this kind of thing what so ever and I think advice from someone with a similar background who has done it would be helpful.

I don't mean to be flippat, but what is there to learn? Certainly there are tips and tricks, and salepeople do possess unique talents. But what is so complicated about calling up potential customers and talking about how your product solves a problem you have?

I think the first step is demystifying it. If you wanted to learn a new programming language, you would just "do it": read books, read about the language, practice writing code, etc.

Your phone call will be answered by a person who has no decision making authority. You will need to ask for someone else, and you will need whom to ask. You will also need to know which companies to call. The calling itself maybe not that complicated, but the prep work is arduous. And then you don’t start with “buy my software” you start with “Problem X is a real drag, don’t you wish it went away?”. A lot goes into it.

Learning a new programming language is a low-risk endeavor. Your highest cost is likely to be a book that you buy, if you decide to go that route.

Compare that to a business, where you have to pay to file paperwork that you may have to hire a lawyer to tell you that you did wrong.

You need to know how to structure an articles of incorporation in a good way for your organization, and you only know you get it wrong when it's too late.

You need to know how to raise funds in a way that own't personally bankrupt you.

You need to know how to read and understand contracts.

You need to know how to hire people in a way that doesn't expose you unduly to lawsuits.

You need to know bookkeeping well enough so that you don't need to hire someone for that right off the bat.

There are tons of things. I know that I don't even know how much I don't know, because I've only ever had a small rinky-dink business.

What does any of this have to do with learning sales?

I simply sold it they way I wanted to be sold - in an honest, no BS, personalized approach, focusing on customers needs.

How does Teslas strategy fit in with the ascendance of for hire vehicles like Uber? It seems to me rich coastal types who can afford a Tesla, may just decide to ditch driving all together and just "Uber" everywhere.

If this is true, what is needed to cement public confidence in this techology is a quick and definite win. Maybe a tunnel between lower Manhattan and Staten Island? Both landings are government owned and would greatly improve upon the current 20 minute ferry ride across. It can also be the first link on the NYC-DC route.
