This is comic related . I ' m having a conundrum when it comes to buying trades in paperback or hardcover form . The thing is , I own a lot of trades , maybe about a dozen or so up till now ? I ' ve only recently began seeing the benefit and allure of hardcovers . They ' re more damageresistant , which is especially appealing to me . I have a few comics like Year One that I have in paperback form , but I ' d like to get that in hardcover as I recently discovered that existed . What do I do ? <| sep |> Yo is Herman available by chance ? <| sep |> It ' s neither , I ' m assuming they mean credit card since those transactions cost more . <| sep |> Hey as long as you keep stabbing them , I ' m cool with your weird fetishes . <| sep |> There ' s no good reason to leave a property empty for 12 months or more . Sure , bad tenants are a thing , but you ' re free to sell your property . Yes , putting in a new tax would have a negative effect that ' s the aim , to bring prices down to realistic levels , not the overly high ones we see now that are a direct result of distortions , incentives , loopholes . If we ' re serious about making housing affordable for Australians , to use as housing , prices need to come down . Its not sustainable , and the bubble will pop anyway we can either carefully disinflate the bubble , or sit back and watch it burst . I know which one would be less painful . The point is that the tax system encourages and subsidises empty properties . Its perverse that the returns tax breaks for holding an empty property allow this to happen . The incentives should be there to discourage it , promote housing to house people , not as subsidised , loss making speculative investments .
