Ugh. I just looked up the difference between em- & en- dashes.
As far as I can tell, there are other punctuation symbols that can be used in almost all cases, rendering both largely irrelevant ๐คทโโ๏ธ
(I only learned of the very existence of em- & en- a few years ago ๐)

From my brief interaction with QV, they use past sales & values of neighbouring properties to calculate. It's a bit wishy-washy (which is why I had to deal with them). How that translates (long-term) into Rates is beyond me.

Or is it just to look cool? ๐ (Which it does ๐)
"Ballroom" is a typo.
It's a "Throne Room".
Given the amount of destruction (sorry, "additions"), I'm surprised they didn't just go whole-hog & use explosives ๐งจ
22.10.2025 23:24 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0You de-value your property, assuming QV let you (not sure how much give-&-take there can be...).
I suspect the property in question will miraculously become much more valuable again, right before they want to sell it ๐ค๐คฎ
Somehow there has been a transition (of people like CEOs & politicians) from people who are best to DO the job, to people who most WANT the job. It seems those in power these days are generally there specifically for the POWER the position grants ๐คฎ

Yup. Keep the proles stupid & working in the mines while the "upper class" go to the charter schools & get an expensive (I hesitate to use "good") education ๐คฎ

Yup. Can dish it out but can't take it; a primary trait of nearly all bullies.
