Quote from: TheStranger on April 21, 2024, 01:53:53 AMCalifornia's usage of Parkway can be pretty variable too:Also Westside Parkway in Bakersfield, which is full freeway before and after it became a part of CA Route 58!
Arroyo Seco Parkway (former US 66, now Route 110) fits the New York definition - which makes sense, given its 1943 origins. Limited-access, trucks not allowed.
Guadalupe Parkway in San Jose (Route 87) is a freeway that is pretty much Interstate-standard and allows trucks, and had SPUIs added to it in the last decade and a half.
Richmond Parkway (approximate corridor of planned Route 93, but not a state route) is a expressway with some intersections and interchanges.
Los Patrones Parkway in Orange County is very much "Yeah, this is a Route 241 full freeway extension, but let's not say it is", kinda like how Presidio Parkway in San Francisco is an 2010s Interstate-standard upgrade of the old US 101 Doyle Drive freeway, but with excessively slow speed limits near the tunnel segments.
Then we have stuff that is straight up surface road (Guadalupe Canyon Parkway in Brisbane/Daly City, Paseo Padre Parkway in Fremont)

Right now, it's a loan with certain financial terms - interest rate, payoff period etc. Real estate component is just backing the loan for bank's "peace of mind". Risks of property ownership are still on a borrower, abet insurance is required.
You propose to tie in real estate much deeper into the equation. Can you describe full legal framework? What are the right of the bank in this scheme?
It would turn mortgages into a more equity-like product, the value of them would rise and fall with the value of the underlying asset.
If a borrower defaults, then the bank forecloses, sells the house and makes a profit or loss equal to their share of the equity.
A mortagage should not be an "equity like product." A house should be. A mortage is just a loan.
Any financial advisor will tell you that you need to have a diverse portfolio. Having hundreds of thousands of dollars tied up in a single asset is not a diverse portfolio.

Or at least the cleaning fees not being included on the price you see when you first search. I've seen $79 places with $100 cleaning fees. That's effed.

Quote from: steviep24 on Today at 06:33:39 AMMain Street is federal aid eligible, so it could be what we in NYSDOT call a "local project" using federal funds, which does have NYSDOT involvement (although not to the same extent of capital projects on our system).Quote from: Rothman on May 04, 2024, 11:21:45 PMThat is a Monroe County DOT install. City of Rochester project but all non NYSDOT signals in Monroe County are owned by the county.Quote from: SignBridge on May 04, 2024, 10:35:50 PMIs that a state road? That would be the determining factor re: what agency erected the signal.
It's also a matter of whether HSIP was used for the project, which would require Region 4's traffic engineer to sign off on that fund source's usage.
EDIT TO ADD: I should say most non NYSDOT signals are owned by Monroe County. There are some signals in East Rochester that are owned by that village and I know of a village owned signal in Brockport.
Quote from: TheDon102 on May 04, 2024, 11:58:34 PMQuestion for all of you, The small portion of I-287/NY-17 that isn't on the thruway mainline in Rockland county, is that portion NYS Thruway Authority or NYSDOT owned?I can't imagine there's any NYSDOT portion, since the interchange ramps basically go all the way to the state line.
