Got a pretty good apples to apples example. My firm had a high rise project sidelined back in July 2020 due to Covid restrictions. those restrictions are finally lifted so they are wanting to move forward. The project has gone from being 36 stories, to 21 stories; it lost half of its total number of units, but costs the same as the original design. Less than 4 years later and costs have essentially doubled on this project.

not sure if the project will end up going forward. they lost a TON of ROI. the rate they are planning to charge has gone up as well, but it hasn't doubled.

sure it would. I know because my firm had other similar projects constructed during that time that are done now.

5 months after COVID was declared a pandemic and after initially shutting down the the US, Trump was advocating for states to open up and even said shutting down longer would hurt the economy....so if a state stayed closed longer that on the governor.... for instance parts of Michigan my family tells me just reopened last year...some places still require the vaccines and masks. Is that trumps fault too

it was shut down due to the restriction Trump put into place. if he had actually done his job the project is probably built by now.

The Dems were screaming that Trump was killing Grandma and everything needed to be shut down tighter and for much longer. Some Dems even held this position as they vacationed in Florida to escape the restrictions they pushed in their home state and some flatly ignored their own restrictions and dined without masks at expensive restaurants and went to hair salons that were supposed to be closed to get haircuts and manicures.....

You probably also believe Biden when he lies about inflation being 9% when he took office.....

keep believing the lie.

"Trump on Wednesday asserted that Kempā€™s rolled-back restrictions were ā€œin violationā€ of the first step of his administrationā€™s phased plan to return to normal and revive the economic standstill.

...

ā€œI think itā€™s too soon, and I love the people,ā€ Trump said. ā€œI love those people that use all of those things, the spas, the beauty parlors, the barbershops, tattoo parlors, I love them. But they can wait a little bit longer, just a little bit ā€” not much ā€” because safety has to predominate.ā€"

Trump is just another big gov Dem who openly stood aside and let a bureaucrat run this country for 2 years.

had Kemp listened to Trump this state would be in even worse shape.

Yours is written on the 22nd of April and he wanted one by May 1 and asked in your article to wait a little bit longer to open..8 days seems like just a little longer.

They thought Trump was killing grandma every day of the week before Covid too. its not like he suddenly lost the media in late winter 2020.

Trump was president, if he wasn't man enough to stand up for what he believed was right, he shouldn't have been president. his covid response was an absolute failure. it doesn't matter if the Dems would have done it worse, what he did was unacceptable. he punted on first down and gave Fauci the ball while he went on those same vacations you are complaining about the Dems taking.

but two weeks later he PUBLICALLY stated that is was too soon to open up.

You sound like a Democrat supporter. But Obama SAID this. I bet you believe the Inflation Reduction Act actually reduced inflation don't you, its what the name says. I don't care what he says behind closed doors, I care about what he DID. and he completely failed his response, and in the open to the public, with his policies, public comments, and decisions.

oh now the president isn't in charge of anything his administration does, how quick the shoe is on the other foot. But I guess that makes sense with "zero responsibility" Trump.

In other words, you canā€™t name a single one that would have delayed your build. Itā€™s that simple.

He literally says just a little bit longer after say May 1st...is April 22 before May 1st and just a little bit away ..yes..so he wanted to open up but left it to the states..I get you hold him responsible 100% and that your choice...but it's not accurate according to what we have both posted thus far..no point in going further..Trump made mistakes but ultimately it was the state governors calls..if they choose to follow Faucci that's on them..in on Trump for leaving that snake a the podium that long...but good luck with your projects

Before those who claim Trump's tax cuts lowered prices....

Target's 2017 (pre TCJA) operating margin was 5.8%.

The Fed Report just released said greedflation is a lie. What do you know? Biden lied again. Of course he called it transitory inflation first. Tell me lies, sweet little lies.

Yeah, they all had lower operating margins in 2022 and 2023 than they did in 2018 and 2019.

Greedflation during the Biden Presidency is a lie and you know it...

You donā€™t understand. Corporations greedy. Dems good. Dems want to take Corp profits through taxes. After all it is for the greater good.
