There's two ways to make extensions to Zed, providing context for AI. In the post they show off making a Rust -> WASM based extension and also mention a server based model. There's also a third option -- Zed is open source. You don't have to use their auth, it just makes collaboration easy.
we call the latter a "Context Server", basically any process that communicates via JSON-RPC over stdio can do it. documentation for that is here: https://zed.dev/docs/assistant/context-servers
Wealth should definitely be taxed, especially land wealth. It's super easy to hide money in land wealth if you don't tax it. We need land to go to the highest best use for cities. Otherwise you end up with terrible strip malls, low density housing, and traffic everywhere.
Whoops, I just described Santa Clara County. And LA.
Also, I think low-income grandma was and always has been a useful narrative piece. Howard Jarvis, the author of prop13, was literally a lobbyist for apartments and businesses. Please watch The First Angry Man when you get a chance: https://www.kcet.org/shows/the-first-angry-man/episodes/the-...
Often the house isn't much to downsize from. If they bought a modest house for 100K back then, it's probably not big.
I bought my current house in my 20s. It is tiny because it was all I could afford back then. I always expected to move up, but it hasn't happened. So I've made my life on this street, these parks and forests. I could afford to move up now but it's a nice area and it has become home. I'm not ready to retire but when I do, there's no point in downsizing, it's already tiny.
Also don't underestimate the pain of moving for an older person. I often wish my >90yr mother would move closer to here but at that age she is terrified having to change any of her regular doctors and neighbors.
The grandma may be an "useful narrative piece" and it was, but it is also very real. These are the people who benefit the most from being able to stay in their home to the end. It is very cruel to force an older person to move from their comfort zone.
Of course, corporations taking advantage of prop13 is a travesty. It should be for individuals in their own home only.
I grew up with the schools here back in the 90s and we largely couldn't pass new parcel taxes because "their kids already went through school and they didn't need it". They were more concerned with all the growing crime, which you would think that maybe the lack of after school programs and growing unaffordability for everyone else was part of the issue.
We still have that problem today, passing new parcel taxes. That's why every parcel tax we pass now has a clause that allows people over 55 to get out of paying it. It's the only way to get all the over 55 people to vote for it.
