One reason why I only buy properties on public water/sewer for rentals.

A great table in the IRS publication 527 can be found herefollow for reference.

The City is asking our partners to extend and increase their support to provide immediate and long-term assistance, including: Washington State  Allocate additional resources for mental health and substance abuse disorder treatment;  Set Medicaid rates for inpatient treatment at an amount that is sufficient to provide effective treatment;  Identify state-owned property to host authorized encampments, vehicle parking, emergency shelter, and housing;  Allocate intervention and other resources to address the public health and safety crisis associated with unauthorized encampments on state property along I-5, I-90, and SR-99, including implementing physical changes to those areas to minimize ongoing and longterm public health and safety risks.  Increase the amount and expand allowable support services in the Consolidated Homeless Grant (CHG), including Housing and Essential Needs Program and stabilize funding for CHG;  Restore the Housing Trust Fund (HTF) to pre-recession levels; and  Authorize additional financing tools to expand affordable housing and ensure affordability and protections for tenants.

In DC public transit ridership is down, now part of that is due to the fact that our subway system is/was falling apart, but I suspect a lot of it was because of Uber and Lyft.

@Jingmin ZhangThere are many clues as to whether a relationship with a new contractor will head south.Not necessarily the first one; but avoidance of, resistance to, tiptoeing around the subject of pulling permits or steering you to pull the permit yourself for work  the contractor is supposed to do is a clue that you may be dealing with the wrong contractor.If a contractor cannot simply go down to the building department without any urging from you and get a permit that they clearly post in public view on the job-site, things may be starting off on the wrong foot.There may be exceptions to this but I will not get into that now.

Verify the info with a public adjuster and or atty who specializes in insurance coverage/claims.

It’s found in IRS Publication 925.Also- thank you for the referral. 

if your goal is real estate investments, then try to get a job with a REIT, real estate dept of a public or large private company, or even a small independent real property investor.  

@Matt McGuire is it open to the public?

There's a company in Fredericton, NB (HotSpot) which has been handling parking - both private and public - for 3-4 years now.
