Obama's job speech to Congress

[Farnhamia]

If Houston is so affordable and wonderful, why aren't you living there?

Irrelevant.

It's just a question, and a not unreasonable one, but have it your way.

Irrelevant.

They why are you idolizing it?

[UCUMAY]

Irrelevant.

They why are you idolizing it?

Because we can like aspects of other cultures and places despite our location.

[Sibirsky]

Irrelevant.

It's just a question, and a not unreasonable one, but have it your way.

My family, friends, and job are not in Houston.

I may relocate there at some point. Who knows.

In any case, median housing in NYC costs 10.35 times the median household income. In San Fran, it's 10.62 times. Houston? 2.98 times.
Pretax incomes. Throw in the fact that NYC and SF are in high tax states, and Houston is even more affordable by comparison.

Pointing out a good aspect of city laws in a certain location that I don't live in is forbidden?

See? That didn't hurt much, did it? A reasonable answer to a reasonable question.

No. There is absolutely no reason to ask these questions.

And it isn't the first time from the Black Forrest.

Shhhh you.

Sib and I take turns pissing each other off. It's my turn.

-edit- I would like to add that is supposed to be a joke.

Personally, no zoning would be a bad idea where I am at. Previous practices have left a few Superfund sites. We have some rather nasty crap in the ground. There was a case where somebody said "hey let's just build apartments over that site" and then screamed government oppression when the government said that has to be cleaned.

Did I say that?

Curiosity question simply because your views would suggest that would be your perfect spot to live.

It's a "general" forum. Unless I missed the list of acceptable questions.....

This is so odd.

Any time, I praise any place that I do not live in, you question why I don't live there. It is not normal behavior. I like it here too. I cannot live in multiple places simultaneously.

Must be getting senile.

I quite liked his speech, tbh.

But I think I know which part Sib especially didn't like...

He did make some errors, that nitpickers like me would probably pick up on, but I think I quite like the larger picture he's showing.

You can go to Panama for example. They have a territorial tax system. Meaning, you only pay income taxes on income derived in Panama. Set up a business in a low tax jurisdiction outside of Panama an you're good. There are a number of spots like that. Believe it or not, the US is a tax haven as well. As long as you are not American.

Since it's so wonderful; why aren't you rushing there?

I didn't listen to it. There was football on. Football > economic retard talking.

If you love Panama so much Sibirsky why don't you marry it!
Sibirsky likes Panama

Oh I wasn't suggesting I don't.

With all I am doing these days; my long term memory is about 5 minutes.

I am considering moving there for retirement, if that counts.

Eh, I'd rather get to that large pile of mechanics and chemical calculations waiting for me at my study.

You do the arguing on behalf of us centrists in the meanwhile.

[Sibirsky]

Ha, that was over a year ago.

So, should I be expecting you to ask why I'm not living in X in a few minutes?

I hear the trick is Canadian citizenship while residing in the cayman islands.
No income tax in the Caymans, no death tax in Canada, and a Canadian passport is almost as good as an American pass port for travel.

Interesting. Only problem I can see is if Bachman get's elected. Canada might close the border.
