I got a third, a little hammer drill, and even the jump from 2 to 3 was a game changer.

Look man, you haven't lived until you've done a project where you're using multiple drills at the same time!

And coming from a Minnesota company of all places, the place least likely to want this kind of treatment.

It's been fixed now, but as an example, for years my neighbors property value was almost entirely land while the structure was valued at like $1000 or something. So there'd be a big distortion there in the data because the land value isn't particularly accurate.

Amazing that you can even tell with that much detail. One of the things I noticed with the data is that even though the assessment lists property and structure as separate line items, the total is all that matters, so the land value may not be very "accurate" especially in relation to neighbors.

In a country so many things are truly abundant (food, clothing, all manner of personal and luxury items) it really breaks some people's brains when confronted with an actual honest shortage like housing.

Your understanding is correct

My brain has a hard time telling the difference between Sabrina Carpenter and Sydney Sweeney, to the point where I recently wrote a joke tweet about one when it turns out I was picturing the other.

No I don't have access to any of the formulas I use (or at least I don't think I do) to try and easily run an analysis again on more recent property data.

The map represents the change in tax capacity between my new Land Value Tax system and the real tax capacity at the time. Green means taxes go down (I should have made that 100.1-127.96% band yellow instead of green) and red or yellow means taxes go up.

I attempted to create a "neutral" conversion of Minnesota's property tax classification rules to one that only applied to the land value. I tried as best I could to keep taxation levels between various classifications equal (so for example I didn't go in saying apartments would pay less etc etc).

With that data, in theory I'd be able to fairly easily input the latest data, apply my formulas, and pop out another map. Would also require me to remember the GIS skills I learned a decade ago...

I spent quite a bit of time poking at the data trying to come up with "neutral" adjustments to the thresholds for various tax classifications (a number of them have different rates for the first $X of value vs the amount above that), and then I lost all of that work.

I wish I'd thought to preserve all my files/formulas when I left the U, but it was all just saved in Google Drive and I totally forgot to save any of it when they closed off my account after I stopped working there.

I've seen "we're all Democracts here" used by more moderate/conservative candidates in attempt to thwart challenges from the left. The fact that we don't even have good language to describe these differences is just part of the context collapse of the word Democrat in municipal politics.

Seems like again and again the problem is that people like Frey and don't really have any problems with him. Because voters are dumb as rocks.

It sure is something
