I have been saying that for a long time that’s what’s going on. To be honest with you Trump virtually lost this election after the first debate with Kamala the Republican pollsters, and the media is keeping things close.

Yeah - the cost of living is pretty high. Especially re: taxes on the westcoast - sales / carbon / income / property taxes.


The real estate situation is definitely a mess.

I've mentioned a few times over the years just some general numbers / stats as examples.

I bought a modest place in 2009. Thought I was paying way too much. The assessed value now is essentially 2.5x what I paid for it.

My dad lives in a place which was built in the early-50s and hasn't seen an upgrade or reno in 40+ years. Needs a ton of TLC to modernize it and will probably be a knockdown once the next person or builder buys it & puts up something new and nice. His place is assessed in the low 2 million range just off of property / land.

My childhood home ... parents bought it in the early-80s. Mom sold it in 2001 for just over 300k. The next owner resold it at a loss in 2004 for approx' 197k. The home is now assessed at 1.8 million with the current owners sitting on it the past 20 years with little to no upgrades or renos. I've checked some specs online and driven by the place a few times annually over the years. Looks the same, if not worse, to when I lived there. They removed a number of trees and shrubs and it has less privacy and is more exposed. From 197k to 1.8 million in 20 years is nuts.

this is entirely another thread but the reason is primarily because RE is the now REAL vehicle thats proping up the finance mkt and industry

its was stocks and junk bonds in the 80s ; LBO s in the 90s ; the Dotcom 1.0 in the 00s then mortagage backed securities and REITs and since 2010 its been a combo of biotech and huge tech service tech companies along with RE - with bank and investment cos hedging their value against the RE mkt and foreign investment -

i frankly dont see homes coming down in price or wages rising enough for people to afford to buy a home until maybe 15 or 20 years when a lot of the baby boomers and gen X and millenials start to die off.

Man, the only way Trump wins is if they cheat for him like the first time he won. There are not enough white people to put him over. He pissed off way to many people that identify as white but really aren't to help him win. White people have a boost in their numbers because so many other groups put down white for race, their numbers are not as big as they want you to think. That's why they want to ban abortion, their numbers are going down faster than any other group so they are fighting for survival. But now that he has talked shit about every group but white people, he will not have enough to make it even look close. He also have more white people against him because of his fuckery.I think he gets smoked but I guess it's good to act like it's close so people get out and still vote. But I am not going to let people tell me I am not seeing what I am seeing or hearing what I'm hearing. Only thing he can do is try to cause chaos and dip out the country under the violence he starts. But these cacs are going to fuck around and get fucked up because of him.
