economics yes. Your interpretation is on the face of it contrary to economics.

You think a supply shortage lowers prices?

You think adding supply raises prices?

They are going to give you a Nobel prize or laugh at you. Hint - not the nobel

Just fyi, the federal tax credit for solar was raised to 30% until 2033 by the Inflation Reduction Act

I could be down to play. Drop me a DM, would be down to meet up for some beer or something first at Vassen or similar.

It’s also kind of incorrect since urban NIMBYs tend to be upper class whites

Economics... Demand curves are not linear and the data also shows that

math. Rents are lower than they would otherwise be. The data has been posted here and can be googled

Lol and how have these yimbys made your rents lower? We have had more vertical housing in the last 5 years then ever and rents have skyrocketed. Because we crowd 1/2 of the city while ignoring even maintenance of the other half.

Real estate agents want to make sales not what is best for society or even their customers at times.

Rest in Paradise Cooper! I hope you have unlimited treats and cuddles.❤️🐾

I’m down. Live over by Woodlake. I’m in another playgroup. But haven’t been able to meet in a few months. I have one Janky deck and one deck that’s a little more competitive.

I don't want to talk down solar, because I think it's great. But I have never been able to get the numbers to work without tax incentives even with me doing the install.

Mass Dominion solar makes much more sense.

who cares what their job is? The question is their mission valid.

We need housing. People try to block it. We need Yimbys to solve the problem

We had a good experience with Sigora actually so I would recommend them. Several neighbors on our street also used them and had good experiences. Buying the panels outright was too much upfront for us so we financed and they had the best rate. They were quick and got the work done as promised.

Thanks Karen

Tell us how you really feel

that's racist. what does her skin color have to do with it.

100% unless you just need to show people you have panels on your house, you will never get any benefit. They are extremely expensive and over promise and under deliver according to numerous real life customers I’ve talked to. Most of their pricing is based on 25+ year payment plan and a max 30 year panel warranty. You will pay the same avg electric bill you pay today because you’ll be paying for the install. By the time the panels are paid off and you own them, they’re no longer under warranty.

I mean…it was a bit more than a change of heart? He became extremely vocal and politically involved in abolishing slavery. Feels kinda weird to shit on someone who grew up thinking something was ok, realizing (against the social norm) it was NOT ok, and then fighting against it?

Yeah this was a weird one. My son (who’s at Binford) and I were talking about the name changes. We both had no idea who Wythe was so he looked him up and was like “sure he owned slaves in his 20s but he freed them and then became a staunch abolitionist, umm did the not look up this guy first?”

Lol. You're confirming all of our suspicions. You're trying to cram more stuff in to crowded places when there are parts of the city that have been in need of revitalization for over 50 years. Take a trip south on Richmond Highway. Pretty affordable housing that way, but I know for certain you and Sarah Foote would never dare to live there.

People think it's a simple supply and demand curve. But it's not.

I would respond to your point if I could understand what your point is. I'm not proposing highrises in safe areas.

My opinion (and I am not the organizer of this event) is that Richmond needs more "missing middle" housing and that it would be great if we could prioritize redevelopment of empty lots and surface parking lots.

The organizer is and you have Bellevue as a tag

Still didn't defend your point

You think I'm a white woman from Bellevue?

Sure we do, but not vertically stacked housing in the same "safe areas." We need to take care of the whole city which has ample space for housing and businesses.

I wouldn't assume a white woman from Bellevue would understand that though

You know we need more housing, right?
