One of the causes of this is the 1031 tax exchanges (allows a person/company to roll over a gain on real estate into a "like-kind" asset, again: real estate). I have a friend that has rolled over a few houses and duplexes into ever more valuable property (he's done well, but he's levered 3-4x). I've often asked him, "when will you cash out?" His answer, "I can't, I don't want to pay the capital gains tax." "Are you worried about a crash?" "No, because even if rents dip 20% I can make the mortgage payments and repairs and wait for the market to recover." I don't know how much this has driven real estate speculation in my area (Denver, CO), but if there is a semi-serious market turn, enough to cross some sort of pain threshold for speculators, there's got to be some forced selling.

Any chance Linode can shorten the time it takes to update the zone records? We use Linode for spinning up instances, but we're having to look elsewhere for DNS due to the delays (15 min or so)

I really like the transparency and accountability.

Whatever you want baby

Something positive from elevated CO2, that doesn't fit the script.
