Car industry starts just before WWI.
Roaring 1920s. 10 years good.
Bankrupt in the 1930s. 10 years bad.
Good run from 1949 to 1979. 30 years good.
Almost bankrupt again in the early 1980s. 10 shaky.
Dirty 90s, with bailouts. 10 years shaky.
Sputtering along since 2000-2025. 25 shaky.

40 good years.
10 bad years.
45 shaky years.
Might as well just boil up a handful of grass from the local park, about the same.
Institutional investors own roughly 2% to 25% of single-family rentals
2% seems like a large number, that is 1 out of every 50 homes. That’s 1 house on every street.
25% just seems insanely large.
Do it! Pass it!
Why not buy a sedan and use a utility trailer?
All trucks and SUV should be forced to be sold with a proper trailer hitch setup, to be considered a truck or SUV. This would encourage people to use utility trailers.
Building an apartment building without parking is dumb. Maybe not have 1 space per unit, maybe have 1 space for every two units. Why does everything have to be one extreme or the other. Have an apartment building with only 50% of the units having a parking spot, is a really big win for a car centric city. It’s a good way of pushing the ball.
Also working class people that need affordable housing, probably also need a car as they can’t work from home.
