The MSG rally was the final nail in the coffin...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.
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@shonuff
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.
Lot of MAGAs will be dead broke come Wednesday..This is the question I was going to ask…the betting and specifically on Trump outrageous as high as 80s percent in one place I saw.
He said he doesn't vote. Didn't even listen to the rest. Fuck him and his opinion.A long time ago I used to like Corey Holcomb, but now I don’t know what got into him, but he is unbearable right now. He’s just not positive with nothing. And Kamala Harris do not need to be called a bitch by a black man never in life

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.
@DC_Dude I just want to let you know, as this election season approaches the end, I want to thank you for your service
I can't speak for anybody else but your posting kept me informed from across the pond. Don't know how I would've kept up otherwise.
Mothafucka you the emperor of propaganda. Mr. So Called "So Call" Mr. Dunning Kruger himself.You’ll see in a few days how uninformed @DNC_dunce was be fleecing posters in this thread.
It is unfortunate that so many still fall for propaganda especially after 2020.
