Good thing you aren't making policy.

If your policy change is going to harm the less fortunate then you should re-evaluate the policy.

A land value tax just shifts those who can't afford it out of their homes and hands more land over to the wealthy.

Land isn't the problem with housing. The problem is that developers have figured out it's more profitable to build fewer expensive properties than a large number of affordable ones. Not only do they have to do less work, but it keeps the market artificially low and so lets them charge more for what inventory they do have.

So they do just that.

And the residential development market has such a huge investment level to enter you won't see many willing to roll the dice on mass producing affordable housing.

Show me a home builder who has plans which are less than 3k sqft these days. You won't find one.

No way. That would fuck over way too many people who are just trying to live out their lives in the home they've built/purchased/inherited.

I kinda would have been, but I had a dictionary at home so didn't use the library one much.

A 16 year old can get emancipation from the court in Florida. Doing so would make it so parents or guardian would no longer have claim over any money earned.

That's the one decent argument for this law; an emancipated 16 year old needs the ability to work a full time job to support themselves as no one else is legally required to do so.

Essentially just the first season. The show was massively retooled after that because the executives felt the jokes went over people's heads.

Well, money wise that was probably a good plan. I can't see the show as it was in the first season running as long as the real show did or having the mass appeal it does.

Cool as fuck though.

Most tropical/subtropical areas will have a heat index in this range for the majority of the year thanks to humidity.

I live in Florida and maybe for two months of the year I could cycle around without getting soaked, either by rain or humidity.

I do cycle around for fun though.
