terre

Rose-Hulman (my alma mater) is in Terre Haute Indiana is rated high, with fairly low cost of living.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery, who wrote Terre des Hommes and The Little Prince, was another who went away.

NYC is giving large tax credits for middle class housing and is considering a pied-à-terre tax.

For instance, potato in english is pomme de terre(apple of the earth) in Canadian French.

Over time, the number of people looking for a pied-à-terre is not fixed.

Yet how many own a pied-à-terre in New York, while residing primarily elsewhere?

Vous devez avoir, dit Candide au Turc, une vaste et magnifique terre?

New York may attempt a pied-a-terre tax, but no one really knows how to deal with this issue of vacant housing units held as investments.

But would you want to stay in Terre Haute?

I think something like 40% of them are actually even occupied year-round, instead they are used as investment/offshore holding/pied-a-terre for the absurdly wealthy.

γεώμηλα is a Modern Greek word for potato (literally 'earth apple', presumably a calque from French pomme de terre ).

There is a limited number of wealthy people looking for a San Francisco pied-à-terre, and that is a market that can be exhausted without driving all other residents out.

(So 'T-N' might appear, meaning 'Terre-Neuve', the French name for Newfoundland, with the hyphen mandatory to prevent it from being mistaken for the US abbreviation for Tennessee.
