ParticipantBest solar dryer is a clothing line. And CA has a “right to dry” law, so if an HOA objects, they can legally be told to piss off.
ParticipantWhy bring Obama into it?
Fact is that the unemployment rate was dropping, but a lot of people still had problems finding work. This would be a problem under any government.
ParticipantIf you look at the stats, the drop in the participation rate is worse among prime-working age people (25-55). Older people are actually working more vs retiring.
Participant^^^
So basically, you tend to think that anyone who doesn’t suck corporate ch*ad is not worthy to do business with. You sound like a real prince. Not to mention hypocritical, since you yourself appear to be self-employed.
ParticipantIt’s sad — Apple used to make long-lived, relatively hacker-friendly products. (In fact, they still do, with desktop devices.)
It’s really a shame that Woz was crippled in that plane crash in the 1980s, rather than Jobs suffering the same fate at the time. Maybe Wozniak staying with the company would have kept them on the right track as far as responsibility.
ParticipantShort of violent crime that will likely make police reports, offender registries, and/or newspapers, I really couldn’t give an aerial yank whether a prospective tenant was arrested for minor things like weed, peeing in public, or telling off a cop five years ago. (In fact, I might be more likely to rent to them, since I’d be helping someone who’s unfairly marginalized by our injustice system.)
ParticipantFlyerInHI – what do you do about non-traditionals? Freelancers, grad students, people with internships? I’m happy to rent to those. They’re usually good tenants, and I tend to want to give them a leg up anyway.
ParticipantI just check references, interview, and do a Google search for any news about violent crime in the prospect’s name. I don’t ask for an SSN to run credit — too much liability in case of ID theft in future. No point to check pay stubs either. Too easily forged.
Getting 3-4 friends to agree on reference stories is surprisingly difficult.
ParticipantWhy are apartments higher than condos, out of curiosity? Amenities in each type of complex are very similar from what I’ve seen.
Is management overhead for an apartment complex simply higher than a condo HOA fee?
The price spread could also have to do with individual apartment prices. A few years ago, a friend of mine rented a 1/1 apartment in Carlsbad, walking distance to the beach. Price? $800/mo.
After the first night staying with her, I knew why it was so cheap. It faced the tracks, near a level crossing and freight trains would pass by late and blow their horns for the crossing, about 100 ft from the window!
ParticipantE-verify doesn’t have facial image data, other than for a small subset of green card holders. (And in the current political climate, there would be a lot of discomfort regarding privacy in sending state driving license data to the Feds and having them essentially create a national biometric ID database.)
Wouldn’t it be relatively easy to hire an illegal immigrant who holds a stolen or fake ID and has a valid SSN/name combo?
Not that I mind. I consider the privacy risks of the extension of biometric databases to be larger than the economic risks of a few tens of millions of illegals working in the US. If they can get across the fence and behave themselves, let ’em work.
ParticipantExactly. Which is why the best environmental policy is to make electronics and vehicles that LAST a long time. Recycling them or building new ones is environmentally expensive.
Apple is talking out of their anuses about environmental responsibility, when they deliberately make older app versions for 3-4 year old iPads hard to download.
ParticipantDoes California really need more obese middle-American sheep? What’s the point of high-speed rail to Vegas from CA? Vegas doesn’t offer much that CA doesn’t. I bet Vegas will be dead in 20 years.
Participant.
ParticipantB…but…oil is natural. And extracting it helps the ecaaaaaaahnaaaaaahmy.
