I am not being high and mighty. You are saying insane and obviously wrong things.

They aren't remotely paying for the real cost? Are you sure about that? I can garantee you my property taxes alone, more than pay for that road side parking in front of my residence. Even renters pay a portion of the property taxes thru their rent. That's before you add in all the other taxes that are collected and used for streets and roads.Right - so they are not paying even remotely the real cost. Thats why they should pay.
Great. So we agree they are baked into the price.
Way to ignore your own words.. You should really learn what a fee is, which you claim is baked in to the price. You are very talented in twisting your words around.. Doesn't make you right.I am not being high and mighty. You are saying insane and obviously wrong things.
While I can’t speak for your town I can say with certainty that in major cities this is not remotely true.They aren't remotely paying for the real cost? Are you sure about that? I can garantee you my property taxes more than pay for that road side parking in front of my residence.
I always find it funny how when I agree with someone I’m smart and when I disagree I’m a liar or a manipulative bitch.As for your "so we agree".. fucking WOW! how can we agree when you have manipulated the context of what you said.. how about you man the fuck up and stop acting like a manipulative bitch!
In all fairness, that should be directed to me, I am the one who did that, not fskimospy. But in todays modern world, a parking spot is more than just an amenity in my opinion.Your problem is you are trying to compare a bathroom to a parking spot.
A parking spot is an amenity, it's a bit different than an absolutely must have with any single rental property in the country, a single bathroom.
You are trying to bake them into the same pie. Well you are wrong.

The problem with that conspiracy is the part about them dropping prices after getting the tax cuts. They won't, they have no reason to, they can both get the tax cuts and keep the elevated prices (using any number of bullshit excuses). Just like they did in 2015-2017, when they claimed they needed tax cuts to prevent layoffs and then got the tax cuts and then proceeded to perform layoffs.
Bathrooms and kitchens probably have the highest maintenance costs too, which would also be baked in.I feel like people here do not understand how money works. Yes, all apartments are required to have bathrooms. This is not a bad thing but it inherently makes them more expensive, and therefore the bathroom is part of the price you pay.
I feel like I’m taking crazy pills.
This insane shit is why people like me move to the country. I got 3 acres of parking spots and bathrooms.What’s this thread about?
I genuinely do not understand how you think bathrooms cost no money to make. If they cost $1 or more their cost is baked into the price.

This has turned into a ‘do you know how the world works’ argument.I think this has turned into a grammar argument.
You don't reconize why do you? Because you manipulated and change your original context, twist what you said to mean something entirely different, then you tell someone "so we agree, right".. telling that person, they now conform to your manipulated and twisted new context, agree to it, which in your mind, makes you right about your original statement that started the argument. Yeah.. that makes you a manipulative bitch. that's besides the fact, that you don't get to tell someone that they agree with you. that is entirely up to them. They are the only ones who can determine if they agree with you or not. You get to agree with them, if you chose, but that's it.While I can’t speak for your town I can say with certainty that in major cities this is not remotely true.
I always find it funny how when I agree with someone I’m smart and when I disagree I’m a liar or a manipulative bitch.
Regardless it is entirely obvious that when you require something as part of an apartment that costs money, and that makes the price of the apartment go up. How could it not?
Still acting all high and mighty, thinking you are better and smarter than everyone else..This has turned into a ‘do you know how the world works’ argument.
That is puprosturous.I think this has turned into a grammar argument.
This is the problem with de-caring society, it's a huge chicken and egg thing. You basically have to make driving slightly more painful while you make alternatives less painful. But no city will fund a proper alternatives until people use them. It obviously impossible to get rid of all street parking any time soon, but in commercial areas it should be mostly done away with. People can park and ride in, or pay for parking in a lot/garage. Or the business can choose to provide free/cheap parking.As far as getting rid of street parking drastically, it's just not possible until we start BUILDING MORE AND BETTER MASS TRANSIT. People that just say street parking should just be curtailed, like that, either live in a type of area where parking is normally included in the standard type of housing there, like a single family house or townhouse, or live in an urban area and actually don't need a car, but can't consider why anyone else would. People with cars in urban areas that say there is no way to live without one, well, they are not taking everybody's lifestyle into account either.
I agree, but also slightly disagree. There are a lot of areas that people would use the proper alternatives (Mass transit), but politics interfers with the implimentation. More specifically, it seems that many conservatives, tend to interfer and prevent implimentation, as they have little interest in Mass transit and transit policies, specially those backed and/or funded by government.This is the problem with de-caring society, it's a huge chicken and egg thing.

In lower density residential areas without driveways/garages, you probably can't get rid of it any time soon.
In today's world where cars are becoming a basic requirement unless you have good community, affordable transportation, and live in proximity of that transportation, parking is a basic requirement for housing.
Completely agree. A big problem with getting mass transit implemented is there are far too many jurisdictions that can interfere and almost always do. I know that's been an issue with subway expansion in DC and Atlanta. Then politicians want them routed poorly either to bull doze a neighborhood they don't like or to get political points.I agree, but also slightly disagree.

Bathrooms cost money build. That cost is “baked” into the price of constructing the apartment, baked into the price the landlord pays for the building, and they are “baked” into the rent people pay for the apartment that the landlord charges to recover the cost of purchasing the apartment.What am I talking about? Road side parking is where this discussion started.. And I said people already pay for it via taxes.. and you went on a tangent trying to argue that taxes don't pay the $300 - $700 a month that people have to pay to have those parking spots, which is what lead us down this rabbit hole. Why should they have to pay for road side parking that they already paid for thru their taxes?
Who said they don't cost money to make? you are now manipulating and trying to change the context of what you said. Your exact words in bold:
You can stop with your bulshit now!
Is there something more you would like to say about Fox in this regard? We know they do this all the time.Sigh. My thread
