While I don’t disagree that SF is a mess, your example is completely wrong. That lot will become low-income housing and is temporarily being used as that.
100% agreed, which is why I was pretty surprised to read that in the article but we'll see if that's actually the intended understanding of this proposal.
For reference, here is the excerpt:
"Beyond cutting the tax rate to 15 percent for large corporations, which now pay a rate of 35 percent, Mr. Trump also wants that rate for a broad range of firms known as pass-through entities — including hedge funds, real estate concerns like Mr. Trump’s and large partnerships — that currently pay taxes at individual rates, which top off at 39.6 percent."
Their specific mention of pass-through entities might mean that literally but it might have just been a more succinct way to group LLCs, LPs, and PLLPs.
The proposal seems to state that pass-through entities will be subject to the 15% tax rate as well. From what I've read so far that would seem to mean that all business income from one's LLC would be taxed at 15%, and there wouldn't be any personal income tax to pay on top of that.
We had similar issues when I was at iHeartRadio. We got reports from a number of users that were getting a lot of playback issues. Once we saw that the users were all in a relatively small area in the southeastern US, it took a few days of dealing with local ISPs to sort out the issue: all requests on a certain local ISP were being rewritten and certain headers were getting removed altogether.
The future seems likely to involve a fleet of autonomous vehicles that we use on-demand -- why not own and operate the fleet? Not to mention owning the technology powering the autonomous cars.
