Nah, almost all the growth is in parts of Ward 6 that were mostly industrial, warehouse, or parking spaces. Very little aggregate displacement there (not that displacement didn’t happen, but that it isn’t the biggest story).

Singapore?

I mean there is substantial Latino growth and even some Asian growth, so it isn’t as simple as that.

Any data? How many employees per car in their car factories? Without this it is hard to evaluate the claim. In general German factories are highly automated.

Weirdly we did talk about this briefly in public high school in an generic suburban US area

Oh fair, I was thinking catholic.

Nope. Happens from the Sonos app and windows devices for us too.

Case in point are all the affordable buildings in Ward 3; once luxury in 1960, but lacking modern amenities.

Eh, plenty of house parties in grouphomes. But no silver line.

And buzzards point is still getting started. Ward 6 has plenty of unused parking lots left to develop. (So no gentrification issues)

Not saying the current situation is great, but this has never happened with my friends who work in London. (I’ve only lived on the continent, not the UK). They’ve never paid the US tax bill up front. I think you may have got bad tax advice.

If you make NoVa wages and live in WV, you go to private schools. The differential is nuts.

I know people who live in the woods of WV and commute to northern Virginia/Maryland for work. They seem to all love it, and I can’t blame them. WV is pretty.

Look up tax treaties, this isn’t a issue for Americans working in most EU countries and the UK.

Hell if you own foreign stocks and pay foreign tax on those, you offset US taxes too.

Yup. Live by the RPP, die by the RPP…

You know you can get your street exempted from RPP? Just ask your neighbors and then tell Ddot. A bunch of folks in Ward 3 did this.

Oh yeah. OP didn’t say what era his apt was from. Just wanted to cover the bases.

We have this with brick exteriors and 1920 plaster/lathe. We have one eero on each floor. Opposite sides of house. Good coverage. One wasn’t cutting it.

Agreed. Ward 3 is a hellscape for bikers. Almost 0 protected bike lanes outside of the cap crescent. Pretty car centric and actively resists new bike lanes.

There was a 10 year reprieve, they are back to the same situation in their major metros and adjacent suburbs.

Tokyo’s population is still growing. But Tokyo doesn’t have affordability issues. Agreed about rural areas.

Interesting post. One small quibble, the EU is 25% larger in population than the US.

Interesting thought experiment. What if every US state and Chinese province had their own team?

There are two effects, in plenty of team sports, there would be fewer EU medals. The opposite for the US/CN. But then, there would be many for chances for the US/CN; if one county has an off-day they other makes up for it.

Less state infrastructure?

Live their best lives?
