...Vacant property insurance is a very important policy to consider getting if you own a piece of property that you are not currently living in or if you have a rental property that is currently unoccupied. This is because this type of insurance policy can help protect you from some of the risks that can come up when you have a piece of vacant property, such as vandalism. Listed below are three reasons to consider vacant property insurance. A Vacant Property Is At Risk One of the biggest reasons to consider vacant property insurance is that any piece of vacant property is at increased risk of being broken into or vandalized. As a result, it is a good idea to have this type of insurance policy because it means that you can still file a claim...

...How tax strategies impact on the Social Economic Problem? We are going to highlight some social issues and whether the tax strategy is effective in dealing with the issues. The issues discussed include the issue of urbanisation on vacant land, child poverty, inflation and unemployment. Issue 1: Tax Penalty: Eliminate Land Speculation and Vacant Land to avoid Poverty The urbanisation level of 56.25% in South Africa has recorded the world highest level in 2001. The “Apartheid City was a political economy of space which was based on two policies, i.e. racially-based spatial planning and development for some at the expense of others”. Cities were purposely designed to push poor black citizens to the margins of the city. Thus, the black population were materially distanced from advantages normally associated with city life”. With the abolition of Apartheid in 1994, the new government made a commitment to redress these imbalances and inequality and to create cities that are more equal, inclusionary, productive and sustainable. Although 1.6 million houses have been provided since 1994, they have tended to enforce traditional apartheid planning where the poor are still located on the periphery, far removed from employment and economic opportunities. This has resulted in increased urban sprawl and de-densification. Furthermore, the subsidy on public transport was more than double that spent on housing subsidy but the house prices has increased by an average of 20% per year. Land...

...plummeted, making it tough for homeowners to refinance to cheaper loans, dampening consumer confidence and spending. Policymakers have considered a range of different options. Among the most radical is buying up vacant properties and bulldozing them to diminish the supply glut and rid neighborhoods of nuisance properties that become magnets for drug users, vandals and other minor criminals that further reduce property values for everyone. But this option would clearly have some significant ethical implications, outlined below: Proponents of bulldozing * No one is living in these vacant homes. In most cases, appropriate social services are available for squatters. With every week that goes by, selling the vacant homes becomes less likely. * Literally knocking down houses is the most efficient way to reduce supply. It has worked quickly and effectively in communities that have tested the strategy. Opponents of bulldozing * Using tax dollars to create vacant lost seems a poor choice of limited resources. * In a country with more than half a million homeless people, razing homes does not seem to be an ethical choice. * Partially destroying cities in order to save them does not seem logical. You Decide: Do you think bulldozing vacant houses is a good strategy to mitigate the housing crisis? What ethical issues are involved? Si, yo creo que derrumbar toda propiedad que se encuentre en estado de deterioro severo ayuda significativamente a...

...properly calculated the depreciation on the houses. The controller did not calculate depreciation for the first five years of the useful life of the rental houses. Also, the controller did not calculate depreciation when nobody was living in the house. The alternative would have been to calculate depreciation over the entire useful life not excluding the first five years, and including the time when nobody is living in the houses. The controller argues that since the purpose of depreciation is to measure the “using up” of an asset, no depreciation should be recorded because the usefulness of the asset actually increase during the first five years. Also, the controller argues that since no revenue is being generated when the house is vacant, no depreciation expense should be recognized. Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) No. 360-10-35-4 states that “the cost of a productive facility is one of the costs of the services it renders during its useful economic life. Generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) require that this cost be spread over the expected useful life of the facility in such a way as to allocate it as equitably as possible to the periods during which services are obtained from the use of the facility. This procedure is known as depreciation accounting, a system of accounting which aims to distribute the cost or other basic value of tangible capital assets, less salvage (if any), over the estimated useful life of the unit (which may be a group of assets)...

...Uneven Development: Oshkosh, WI What is uneven development? Uneven development is the persistent differences in levels and rates of economic development between different sectors of the economy. The City of Oshkosh has various areas where uneven development is prevalent. One area we focused our fieldwork on was the downtown area (Main Street) and the routes leading to Main Street. We decided to study this area because there are routes that lead to downtown that run through UW-Oshkosh and from Highway 41. We wanted to explore the road conditions and infrastructure development along these paths that lead to Main Street because the development downtown in Oshkosh is socially, economically and environmentally expanding. While conducting field work within Oshkosh, we found that the downtown area and Main Street had areas that were affluent. As we explored Main street we found the front of businesses to be well kept and newly remodeled. The roadways are in great condition and the sidewalks are well maintained. The area has a lot of money being contributed towards the infrastructure and the maintenance. This reflects the local economy’s success and how they are able to keep attracting customers in order to maintain the infrastructure. The roadways leading into the City of Oshkosh are well paved and there are minimal potholes due to the entrance of tourists and college students. All of the major roads leading to Main street and to the university are phenomenal compared to the residential...

...PERSONAL STATEMENT I was born and grew up in a northernmost mountainous province of Vietnam bordering China. My entire childhood was surrounded by chronic poverty and pervasive ignorance in a little village where children of my age knew nothing but undulating ranges of grandeur mountains that even in my dream I would never have thought of one day I could break out of the vicious circle of illiteracy and innumeracy to become a lawyer and make an ambitious plan for further study in a world-class university in USA. Unlike peer friends whose sole dream was to have decent meals and warm clothes every day after school, I looked for another world from the foreign magazines that my dad subscribed for me using his scanty military salary. In my mind, a society where people were vested with rights to decent life, education and advancement was conjured up. And I cherished a passion to learn and explore that unknown world. As early as high school days, I realized that English was not only a valuable tool for me to discover the world but also helped shape my outlook with more comprehensive and impartial eyes. Thus, I kept learning days after days to build up my English competency in a hope for a day when I could communicate confidently and fluently as a native. I still remember my feeling when I read the book “Message from Nam” by Danielle Steel and knew for the first time how the American viewed the Vietnam War. But for a certain command of English, my view of the War would...
