Those counties are welfare cases, get lots more money from Sacramento than they pay.

The red counties in California are subsidized farms?

Correct. Can't do the crossed legs like a faggot or I'll smash my balls. Ankle to knee is the only leg crossing if that because I'm tall. I look at people on planes that do it and I'm like fuck you short legs.

I don't think shorter people understand the struggle. Things grow in proportion to body size generally. I wear a size 13/14 shoe. I really do have large balls. Not a brag, kind of a pain if being honest. I can't wear boxers because of it or I'll smash my balls. Why I where briefs and boxer briefs. Nut huggers.

I don't know how this got here, probably me, but large balls are not enjoyable.

BREAKING: California is spending $9.5 BILLION on healthcare for illegal immigrants—while facing a $30 BILLION deficit.

Well that's an easy cut. Just wiped out 30% of the deficit.

healthcare for illegal immigrants

About year ago some of my remote co-workers in the San Diego area that are legal immigrants (yet the CNN type crowd) started bitching about spending several hours at the emergency room when their kids got sick. I'm not positive but I'm pretty sure it was from the flood of illegals. Partly from their descriptions of the crowd. I like my job so I just listened lol...

Democrats Are To Blame For California's 'Insane' Affordability Crisis

"We live in California. It should be like the greatest place on Earth on every dimension. How do you beat this weather? You've completely created the atmosphere of every major tech company. You have Stanford, Berkeley, Caltech. You have institutions and all the venture capital. You're sitting on this incredible asset and then literally you can't make it affordable to live here. That's just insane.

That's totally insane and that is 100% due to the bureaucracy of our state. That's basically a Democrat problem. Democrats can't out message that with their policy views because their policy views are in many cases just the wrong policy views. You actually just have to build and you have to create an environment where you can build things.

During the election cycle, one of my whole kind of pushes was we could get some tech policy and sort of pro-progress policy in the Harris orbit. She actually had some very strong people studying these issues, caring about these issues. I would talk to friends, folks around tech, and I would say what's the problem with the Democrat Party? As an example, and there's actually a very long list, it was like, 'Hey, I'm in like climate tech and I can't build in California because of the regulations in California.'

How inane is that where a climate tech entrepreneur, like the top issue, doesn't like Democrats. That is a big self-own."

A little green paint and Newsom looks like he wants to defeat the Batman.

Deep rooted ELECTION FRAUD aided and abetted by embedded CCP influences/Soros. CCP has made major efforts on the entire Pacific Coast to nest the Kommie lunacy with fraud elections and political toilet installations.

Did you ever hear about the Nancy Actress campaigning? She doesn't have to and won't even stoop to waste her time. She must be dead because it seems the CIA replaced her with the actress a couple of years ago when they thought she might accede to the Presidency through more Potemkin shenanigans. You don't remain ageless or look years younger as time goes by. She was a wizened old alky scarecrow last the real one was around.

You really think a raving psycho Satanic perverts like Schiff actually got elected? Or that Newsom wasn't recalled? These are bloodline toilet installations with the predictable consequences: Subversion, money laundering, and generating suffering in the populace for their demonology while robbing them blind.

I experience regret and nostalgia when I see shows that are from just twenty years ago that show how well managed and clean California was at that time, and it was already in decline and already co-opted.

Kamala speaks for herself, or she doesn't. As it turns out, her 'origins' issues are even murkier than the history claimed.

I presumed it was Walgreens being held to the terms of a long-term lease.

DeportLibtards says

The whole thing is $5.7M over 8 years. So depending on how multi the "multimillion" buyout was it could be smart desicion or it could be stupid. I would probably happily walk away at multi=3. And since 2 is not really commonly understood as "multi" they probably have been offered at least 3.

We do need to reduce tax writeoffs for vacancies.

"I have a solution for that: Lower the Rent until you find a renter."

"Noooo! I get more in a tax writeoff. Or, Nooo, my investment sucks and I might have to take a loss! How can this be happening to me! Not giving me big tax writeoffs for vacancy is Socialism"

Crazy, I had never heard of such a thing. Edit: Expenses are write-offs for sure but you are limited to the amount of income it generates. So for example if you made $1 during a particular year $1 is the max you can write off, assuming you did in fact have a $1 expense.

I wish my effen landlord would respond the air conditioner maintenance request I put in a week ago. For mine I have a contract with a company named Rosenberg that does yearly inspections / maintenance to limit the chance that one of my renters would get screwed over in the middle of summer. It's not expensive.

The one time I had a major appliance problem that made one of my houses 'unlivable' was a hot water tank failed. During the Christmas holidays. Several months after they had moved in. When they had guests. So I set their family up at a nice hotel at the riverwalk downtown until I had it fixed. They've stuck around for 7 years now and take good care of the place.

Don't forget about carryovers. This year's passive losses can be carried over to following years' passive income gain.

Good point. It's complex if you sell, in particular in Hawaii:

"In Hawaii, net operating loss (NOL) deductions resulting from net operating losses for taxable years ending after December 31, 1966, are governed by the Internal Revenue Code provisions. NOLs can be carried back to three taxable years preceding the taxable year of such loss and carried over to fifteen taxable years following the taxable year of such loss.

A taxpayer can elect to waive the carryback period for a net operating loss under section 172(b)(3)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code, which is operative under chapter 235 of Hawaii Revised Statutes (HRS).
However, this election does not extend the net operating loss carryover period beyond fifteen taxable years following the taxable year of such loss."

I was apparently eligible but turbo tax offered it then choked at the end. Pretty buggy software. I should have hired a pro. I pretty much just said fuckit and removed that one. It wasn't a lot.

I'm just glad I'm finally getting back part of the 7.5 percent tax on the GROSS Hawaii makes you pay up front when you sell if you don't live on the island. Some form filing to show your net capital gains gets you the refund but I did it near the end of the year and didn't have time.

So I filed state takes and am getting it back that way. Nice 38K they've been holding onto.

Yep, it is more economically beneficial for Walgreens to pay the $60,000 a month until 2033 then to keep the store and pharmacy open in that Democrat shithole.

What has our country come to if you still consider California as still part of our country.

AmericanKulak says

There really are no tax writeoffs specific to vacancies. Even so, writeoffs are no substitute for profit. The reason landlords will not discount rents for vacant properties has to do with "comps." Lowering the rent on one property will put downward pressure on surrounding rentals, including other property they may own. Also, a discounted rent will lock in the low price for the rental period, while 2 months vacant with 22 months at full price would be more revenue. The landlord (or the management service) will thus keep the property vacant while hoping a full price tenant comes along. Even when vacant for months, the landlord just considers the lack of revenue like a "sunk cost" with no bearing, while hoping a full price tenant will be along any day now. Another issue may be the financing. Once a lower rent is established, the properties collateral value is lowered accordingly.

A decade or so back, I had tried to rent some commercial property that had been vacant for years. It had a large parking lot and a suitable building. However, the owner would not budge from a very high price and the place remained vacant for years. May still be vacant.

The mall near me operates that way, I think. Place is a tomb. Especially when it's last anchor store - Macy's - closed down. I suspected the reason was exactly as you just outlined.

They have this display - since before COVID - of a great redesign. Includes office and residential towers, etc. Of course, that was planned when interest rates were at rock bottom. Nothing has come of it. It's a glorious effigy of commercial RE stupidity.

Another mall up north about 8 miles on the freeway didn't do that. In fact, many of the stores that left my mall went there. While I haven't been there in a while, they still have both JC Penny's and Macy's, I believe.

While normally I hate government intervention, I think some accounting changes that force these property firms to mark to market for vacancy or some sliding formula should be applied.

MolotovCocktail says

That needs to start with the banks. "Mark to market" would stop the banks from keeping instead of selling foreclosed real estate, which banks keep because true price discovery would lower the bank's assets held and lower the amount the bank can loan out overall. People who buy the foreclosed real estate at actual value could afford to rent it out at the current market rates.

Been in that boat with a two flat. Couldn't have been the basement water heater.... nope, 2nd floor. What a cluster. We got it within 10-15 minutes though, but damn it could have been bad.

Still don't know why it broke. Wasn't a freezing situation. Fortunately I can install one myself so it was just a new 30gal water heater. Not expensive. Did get the water pan and ran PVC to the HVAC condensation drip drain for any future issues. That building is long gone though now.

Unless the building is own by Newsom and tenant is CA government.

Nope.

Here they are trying to sublease it for ~$35k/month ($417k/yr) until 2033.
