Have you seen sheepshead bay lately. How about Brighton beach where they built a giant development (though admittedly not high rises). They did build high rises in Staten Island… well kinda now they are slowly sliding into the water. That was a fun project
I guess you haven’t visited Silicon Valley lately. The traffic problem only gets worse and worse. And I suspect that’s the same elsewhere as more cars are on the road.
And the actual, real-world ability of me to sell my house tomorrow, buy a much newer, much larger home in Tennessee for cash and still bank $1,000,000 isn’t enough to “bribe” me to do it. I’m sure Tennessee is a very nice place to live, and yet I still don’t do this. Isn’t it great that America has such a diversity of places to live that we can both find what we like!
Oh, and no need to include Trump’s money there. Assuming that Trump’s net worth is positive - far from a given - at best, it still doesn’t amount to Bill Gates’ couch change. It must really chap Trump’s behind that Bezos, Gates, Zuckerberg, Bloomberg and the like:
have verifiable assets more than an order of magnitude greater than his (again, assuming Trump’s net worth is even positive to begin with)
built their wealth from scratch without significant (if any) family gifts or loans
aren’t counting on a claimed and wholly arbitrary value of their name as an “asset” (see: Trump University, Trump Vodka, Trump Steaks, etc. etc. etc.).
i would love to live in teh bay area but its just not affordable for me. thats why i moved to austin int he first place. california would have been choice #1 but were happy in austin
California’s solar-produced excess energy was a commodity that Cali attempted to sell, then give, away. When there were no takers, it actually paid to have it taken. This was covered in an interview on Fox last week, but was reported a year ago in an LA Times article, probably around May or June of '17.
