Real estate tax is literally a tax you pay to the authority that “comes to your house and starts taxing you on how much the value of your home has increased”.


Just to be precise, aren't the taxes approved by the taxing authority allocated proportionally based on the total value of the real estate in the jurisdiction? In other words if all real estate values go up, your taxes should remaing constant?

Maybe in different parts of the US this varies, but should the taxing authorities get more money because the real estate market is hot and do they take less when real estate values are down?


Appraisals can go down (mine did this year), but there's no proportional allocation by the county assessor.

I guess you must have a secret plan none of us are aware of on how to transition the entire country off nuclear power and diversify its energy sources overnight.


> Lithuania imports 70% of its power from Belarus, and the average price of electricity is among the highest in EU.

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ignalina_Nuclear_Power_Plant#S...


"Overnight" is a straw man. If Lithuania was extremely worried about not polluting Latvia capital's river, it wouldn't take them 19 years.


Oh and polluting rivers being the only factor in this matter is not strawman? Changing entire country’s energy infrastructure takes decades, let alone absorbing that economically. Especially when you’re a newly formed country that at the same time needs to change every other aspect of itself to move from socialist to capitalist economy, society and infrastructure serving them.

Given the circumstances, I’d call 19 years a great success in this case.


Imagine being gaslighted by the gun industry so hard you think that neither cars, nor scooters kill people. People kill people.


Thanks for your feedback! Looking into it.


Sure, go ahead, it's free as in beer. I would really appreciate if you could provide feedback on the results you are getting - it would help us make the necessary improvements.


There are a few address formats that don't strictly follow the usual USPS address standards - "StreetType of StreetName" is one of them. Some of them are already addressed in the API (like using letters instead of street numbers), addressing others is still in progress.

We are currently working on identifying these unusual addresses and plan to integrate them into the API very soon.
