There will still be a lot of people homeless even with affordable houses since they most likely cannot afford a house. Social housing doesn't have to be affordable, it just needs to be there, but that has little to do with the availability of houses and more the amount of people that can be processed by the system. At least in NL.

The issue all around the globe is people owning more than one house. You can only live in one so they rent them out. Generally asking way to much since they took a mortgage for it, costs are deductable against the profit. So you always end up paying the mortgage rate for the house you rent + a profit margin for the owner.

If you stop people having 2, 3 or more houses or at least make it a lot less likely for people to own more than one. In NL some people are also debating if we should remove the deductibility of mortgage rates.

Houses costing 1m or more being empty doesn't do anything for the homeless, they will not be able to afford that. A lot of the houses in the empty house statistics are include houses being built/renovated/destroyed etc. Heck in the US (and other countries) you have some ghost towns, are those counted as well? Or houses that are rented out for tourists? How many of them where empty for more than 6 months?

Taxing empty houses is fine, don't get me wrong, but the not building medium density houses, places where you can walk and/or bike and actually want to live, the lack of social security and people owning 2 or more houses are issues as well.

Most people aren't homeless because there is no house available no.

You want to tax just having that second home

Probably none of them, I prefer MOM-and-pop shops

Considering I work in the accountancy, yes, I have heard of Goodwill /s.

Considering the closest Goodwill or Value Village is like a 9 hour flight away it doesn't do me any good.

Ow right, I forgot the US is a corrupt nation and allows bullshit like this.

Then again, it is most likely his personal holding/company which has the loans and stock and he has 100% of the shares in that company which will go bankrupt if his loans ever default(? I think that;s the right word?).

Why would he be in debt though, the depreciation of the goodwill will not cause him to be millions in debt, just that the company would sell for less. There isn't a lot of ground to sue Elon sadly, you can sue Tesla for things like this though and there are probably some other things you can sue either Musk or Tesla, but even if you sue Tesla in the ground Musk wouldn't go into debt from it. Most likely case is that his assets are in a holding company anyway.

The US is a corrupt country and a lot of people are defending it or otherwise funding the corruption. Like why can't we see the annual reports of the companies these billionairs own?

Pretty sure there are more sides, but the system doesn't allow it.

Also people can't choose their ancestor's, so why would they need to be punished? Taxation of the transfer of funds is not an issue in my book, but don't blame somebody cause 5 generations before them or whatever, the ancestor was a dictator.

Haha nice!

The omitting of timezones doesn't matter to a vast majority of the world, since most countries only have one time zone so I don't see a reason why that is relevant in most use cases.

ISO is a general standard, it's in the name and the RFC is created for the internet, that is also in the name/description of the RF.

Using 2025-164 can be handy, I actually use the day of the year to check what invoices from previous year are open since those are the invoices that are due 164 days or more.

The game is alright, just go to the trans person and go and see the burning JK rowling picture

I just checked, yes it is every 24 hours, but I have to restart that thing regularly so that it is why it feels quicker I gues

Part of it yes, part of it no if everybody was either for or against a statement than nothing would get done besides by what which part was the biggest. If people are open for compromises you can get more done.

You don't need to get rid of all cars to make a city more friendly to people walking or biking, but you also need to spend money on infrastucture for them.
