We never made that kind of salary, for one thing I retired when I was 42. I did have an etsy shop for a while but it was just a hobby type thing, so only one salary but pretty significant stock trade income but it still irritates me to no end to hear the "rich" need to pay their fair share...

But there are stock options too. There has to be high income people to be able to qualify for higher priced homes even if they move equity from previous houses because the property taxes will be a major expense due to the high base (and add in mello if it's still applicable). We bought and sold...

If you're in the 37% tax bracket and were hoping for an extra 30K salt deduction, you must be shelling out 100K plus or minus just in state income tax and property taxes. Add in sales tax, car registration, gas taxes (if you drive an ICE vehicle) to the State of California and they never have...

Maybe officially change their name to a hispanic name. They can always change it back after they are admitted or when they graduate.

Oh! I thought that pix was the kitchen in the house! Maybe they had an extended two car garage they used for the prep kitchen but it seems weird doing that. You'd always have to open the garage to house door to go in and out to use it. Is that even code? Cooking in an enclosed garage? I'll bet...

I don't think there is a prep kitchen. The listing says "a large island perfect for meal prep or casual dining". I don't even see a pantry. They do have a separate dining table.

$1000 per month HOA? What is included in that?

Do you have any demographic data to go with the numbers, like race, age, income level?

DOGE is over 7/4/2026. Musk will be gone before 4 years is up.

By posting only the photo and not the video you took it out of context. When I watched the video I got the impression Musk was overcome by emotion and he was gesturing "my heart goes out to you, all the people of America" which he said right after that photo was taken. For me, I look at putting...

This has been decades in the making and once u peel the onion further and realize there is a super majority from one party with rank choice voting at every level of California government and a tax and spend system based on mega wealthy paying the majority of the taxes and those who are...

Newsom suspends landmark environmental laws to ease rebuilding in wildfire zones https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/newsom-suspends-landmark-environmental-laws-to-ease-rebuilding-in-wildfire-zones/ar-BB1rjMBO?ocid=msedgntp&pc=LCTS&cvid=5f9ccec8deb2411fb4567cd1dd8a48af&ei=15 Never mind those...

Are there even enough construction workers to rebuild with any kind of speed? I got a feeling city and schools are going to push for as quick rebuilding as possible. They'll be losing alot of property tax revenues with only land being assessed until rebuilt.

When is this person's term up? If he is voted out, the other four members won't be so oppressive? Maybe get someone to run for his seat? BTW does he still have 80 cameras that feed to him personally? Seems like an invasion of privacy.
