  • Sounds like you’re looking for something that only exists in the used market, which may be your plan anyway.

    The Mitsubishi imiev never took off, but it’s probably the least-frilly EV you can buy. But as Doug Demuro will tell you, it’s a bit quirky. Assuming you’re American, yes, is was released in the States but no, you probably wouldn’t have heard of it. I’m not sure I’d recommend it necessarily, but it’s an option

    That said, I have a Chevy Bolt. Pretty easy to find on the used market (and with that, get service if you need it) no dumb features nobody asked for. It does have Android Auto/Apple Car Play, which is actually pretty awesome (I believe it’s the 2022+ models with wireless car play). Their base models are pretty barebones (some don’t even have DC fast charging, watch out for that) but higher trims do have some nice features to them. It’s kind of a car you’ve seen on the road but didn’t know you actually wanted.

    By the way, backup cameras became mandated a while ago. I’m not sure the screen size requirements (I’ve seen some cars put it in the rear view mirror, which was kinda cool actually) but since most cars need a screen now to support that, and higher trim levels will use that screen for other things, and making multiple pieces of hardware for the same car is an annoyance for car makers, you’ll probably see a screen on most cars. Just FYI.












  • No, if you find a flight you like and, instead of putting your credit card information right there, you drive to the airport, pay for parking, wait in line at the ticket counter, tell the agent you want to buy that itinerary you just found online, argue with them when they say they can’t/won’t so it because it’s freaking Frontier, pay for your ticket, walk 10 minutes back to your car in the parking ramp, pay for your hour of parking, and drive home.

    Probably not worth it for a single person/purchase, but if it’s charged per person, per direction (I think it is but not sure) and you’re paying for your whole family it may be worth it.






  • This sounds like the work of a developer. If you want to take a plot of land and sell it for $2x/m², it’s entirely possible… But it may take $3x/m² worth of improvements if you’re not careful.

    Frankly, if you have to ask these kinds of questions Lemmy is not the place to get the answers. You can get a college degree in this kind of thing, and it seems like you’d need to start at the very basic level.


  • That’s a basic economics thing that doesn’t have an easy answer. But basically, at lower prices, people generally demand a higher quantity of something. Raise the price, and people start to think twice and consider other options. Supply is the opposite: at a higher price, more of a product will be produced (or in the case of pre-owned land, landowners are more likely to cash out). At lower prices, people won’t bother.

    So in the case of land, price is affected by what people want, but also what’s available. If there is a lot of open space and that’s what everyone wants, groovy! But if people want limited amounts of tree land, prices are going to skyrocket for that and people will look at open land as an alternative.
