No idea why they name themselves after animals

What really happens is that I put on my big boy pants, I talk to the tenant, I visit the unit, I crawl under the house, I cut out the drywall, I remove and patch the plumbing, I replace the drywall, I mud the wall, and I paint the wall.

I could have it the way you suggest, pay 10% to some property manager and 1500-3000 for any call to any contractor but that means... I'd have to raise the rent, and not by a small amount.

At the end of the day I'm a housing provider, so I'd like to keep rents and vacancies low. This seems to be what tenants want too.

So yes, I'm doing the best I can, but no, my work is not encompassed by a phone call

Does programming cause property damage or impact other tenants?

If the tenant does something criminal, sure, that's up to the police.

Additionally, if they are behind on rent, the deposit will not be enough to handle both.

In most municipalities, this is OK so long as the thing that needs to be fixed is a habitability issue. Heat, water, etc

> One day he showed up at my place (with soup who was coming to fix something) and tried to enter. I told him to stay out.

??? You wouldn't let him solve the issue you stopped paying for? How do you justify that?

One tenant losing their job, getting some sort of medical issue, or even a poorly trained pet can reverse 2 years of profit. These happen all the time.

Personally, the keyboard jockeys talking about how easy contractors have it is hilarious, so I guess we both get a laugh today

This is how I know that you've never tried to run houses. If you hire out a property manager and all of your maintenance you are not making money.

I have to be an electrician, a plumber, a painter, a drywaller, an engineer, a salesman, a delivery driver, a businessman, an appliance repairman and a lawyer. And that's to make a measly 8% on my money.

> There is literally nothing to be produced! The land is there regardless!

No one rents bare land. They are renting a depreciating asset that you have to upkeep.

Yea yea yea, Henry George says that the value is provided by the citizens around your property. I call bullshit. The value is the shelter, the heat, the comfort. That's what people need.

Very excited to get home and rebuild my keyless!

Do immigrants have the same full rights as British citizens?

Would I be willing to re evaluate my visa every X years? Will I be willing to be uprooted if it's denied?

And how will childcare work when my elders are all here?

I think your post was correct as far as the state of the US, but your final paragraph is reductive. It's not always easy for someone to drop everything and uproot their life, even if it's possible

Not as a new mechanism of tracking, via eye tracking

Could be wrong.

Isn't this exactly what makes us special?

That, opposable thumbs, magic wireless communication, and space travel

It's interesting to me that Python requires third party tooling (mypy) but we are still giving credit to Python that it has all the tools it needs

Yes, complex systems have been built in Python but that's despite it's tooling not because of it

Our python applications are all mypy, and we have been experimenting with the uv solution as well. I'm glad that Python has type annotations and classes but it sure doesn't feel the same as a statically typed language
