You fucked up. Admit it, take the L, pay the ticket, and move on with your life.

I feel the exact same way. Last thing I want to do at an airport is jockey with all the other people hailing Ubers trying to figure out which one is mine or why “my” car hasn’t moved in 15min. The free-for-all isn’t innovation, it’s chaos for chaos’ sake. I’d much rather go to the taxi stand and just get a car in under 5min.

Last week on the trolley there was a couple up front vaping together (I was at the end of the car so I didn't smell anything). Driver did nothing about it. I was very disappointed 'cause I've gone from ridding the El every day to riding the trolley just to avoid the second-hand smoke. So, it can happen, but at least for now it's notably rare.

Does the BCGP do… anything?

…but you do own it. You bought the land, and you can do what you want with it as long as you can afford to pay the tax. How is that any different from any other tax? This isn’t really an outrageous concept.

In a true LVT situation, your income would NOT be taxed, only the Land if you choose to purchase it. So you would not be double taxed.
