    No they will not be at a negative cash flow position. They are able to charge below market rent because they don’t have to cover property taxes(this is a huge number) and then they don’t need to make a profit. They make sure that they cash flow.

    I am for solar, but not for cutting down forests for a solar farm. It needs to be over parking lots or on top of buildings.

    You could hire a 3rd party management company like other private owners. My idea is that the government owns and pays for it, but private entities develop and manage. Government can’t be trusted to not screw it up.

    Government bonds have a much lower interest rate than typically development loan debt. They don’t lose money by not charging property taxes. Why pay taxes to yourself? Churches and other nonprofits don’t pay property taxes. The rent would be charged so that the asset break even accounting...

    The trade deficit seems to yo yo back and forth month to month. I don’t think we have seen a long term trend of imports decreasing on a large scale.

    Military Strikes on Iran Imminent

    I saw this on X. I don’t understand. Why didn’t he act during his first term? Waiting for Iran to develop one way attack drones has made them much harder to deal with.

    Military Strikes on Iran Imminent

    If they aren’t going to rise up now then it isn’t going to happen. And damn anyone that comes at me with, “but we told them to wait”. They don’t have internet access and revolutions don’t wait for another country to give them the green light.

    The economy

    I think government housing unfortunately is the only way to deliver truly affordable housing. You have to take profit out of the equation. Now usually the government is so inefficient that they are more wasteful. My solution would be for local municipalities to higher real estate developers...
