That is seriously sickening. I have been the boss who had to deal with harassment coworker to coworker. I was blocked at the time from firing the individual by my boss. Today it would be a done deal. Fire your boss by leaving. Unfortunately small bu…

For all my optimism of the arts tax as the lesser of evils, I'm nonplussed the City of Portland wants my SSN and phone number on their tax form. Name and address is sufficient. Privacy please. And hahaha, I'm AOK with the commissioner form of gove…

I was involved with about 1000 others when it was created so I follow it. It was a grand bargain between major arts groups and schools. The schools got an amount off the top to hire arts teachers they had cut. Different arts groups have gotten mone…

Not ownership, rentership. Any UH interested in living in a Portland historic mansion in NOPO? Yes, it has been used as a film set. With 5 other peeps. Plenty of space for art and music making. Interested? PM me and I can connect. They also have a M…

This election will be interesting. Rubio is smart. I think the R side has analyzed up the whazoo how many votes they can get from otherwise D Hispanic voters with an Hispanic candidate. I would also say that big money is likely building a tsunami be…

Collier downtown Broadway might make your acquaintance. In fact the owner is a great sartorial advisor. Upstairs his wife has an Italian handbag store. The handbag code and aesthetics is beyond me though.

The Multnomah Co property tax assessor is getting stricter at reassessing houses with remodeling or adding an ADU. http://portlandtribune.com/sl/273753-148211-county-city-at-odds-over-accessory-dwelling-units http://www.pamplinmedia.com/pt/9-news/27…

If UHers are interested in a beautiful registered historic NoPo room rental near UofP Nov 1 by some friends of mine and you vibe an interest in art and music, PM me. Hahaha, it was used as a Grimm set.

I love the small home movement! Helped a friend on construction. It would be cool to have legal sanitary sewer connections in a driveway or back yard. For food carts too. I think about land valuation appeals, since I'm an outlier in my neighborhood…

Neighborhoods are about narrative. Even Airbnbers are interested in the narrative of the building and the town. Perhaps the landlord can preserve you and the disabled person to relate the narrative? Brand value etc.

Light fixtures, towel rods and cabinet pulls are very hard to find good (for modern). Modern light fixtures, there are some great Italian lines, designers in the Netherlands. Lighting fixtures are a #futurebusinessplan.

Was there remodeling involved, maybe by previous owners? That adjusts valuation up. But you are not required to allow county valuation inspectors inside the house. Like I do not consent to a search. Realestate photo websites and building permit publ…

We have a government policy of tax breaks for landlords. Say you own a rental worth 340,000 sitting on land worth 200,000. Federal income tax law assumes that the building is depreciating on a 34 year straight line schedule. So you can deduct 10,000…

http://blog.euromonitor.com/2015/10/new-era-dawns-for-global-coffee-as-peets-and-stumptown-combine.html is how Stumptown is thinking. The Stumptown way barista training is a thing, and they have a great microsource supply chain.
-
Stumptown revenue is ~50. I haven't tracked food & bev buyouts, but I am sure they are valued at >1x revenues. If there is a lot of debt, the valuation would be less that. Presumably JAB is buy and hold for cash flow.

If your water heater is electric, there are some fancy things on the horizon, depending on your electric utility. It is called demand response - where the timing of when your water heater heats and how hot above minimum is managed by the utility ove…

I add my sad face. Much too much time spent on the band and stand up intro. Interviews with singles should overlap with doubles. More Charlie Rose less standup. Colbert is smart enough for it.

Re; appliances and infrastructure. I did a to-walls and -subfloor kitchen remodel. On appliances two experiences. Major appliance dealers have new; scratch/dent/demo (demos are essentially perfect); used. I got "used" a perfect range returned as n…

I worked for a large government entity. The internal politics to prevent getting stuff done versus getting stuff done were astonishing. But IMO, it is the same in any private corp with the same number of employees. Test - compare number of employees…

Some artist buds are engaged in the Portland Renters Assembly. A few years ago, Portland had a condo boom and people made hundreds of Ks flipping condos. Much of it was subsidized by tax exemptions and City subsidies in the Pearl and SOWA. Excess lo…

Trump and Energy Secretary Moniz will be on Colbert's Late Show the same night. Moniz and Trump are definitely the hair guys. Moniz has a Phd in theoretical physics and negotiated the technical parts of the Iran nuclear deal. Interestingly Sarah Pa…

"The Housing Market is not a Rational Market" I'm not sure I believe just adding short options is will magically make it rational, but it is clear that many forces are at work to drive prices up, including the fact that in Oregon, the real estate ag…

Perhaps this is relevant to the recent thread drift...My Google News is trying to convince me that I need a MMFR feed by proposing articles like this. No, Google News, I'm closing my eyes. http://www.cinemablend.com/new/2-People-Fell-Love-Mad-Max-Se…
