Rome was equal opportunity slavery too.

All you had to do was avoid getting devoured by a lion at AT&T Stadium with all the fans cheering for your death.

I left Austin 4 years ago and lost week went back for the first time. The city is almost unrecognizable with so many new buildings and apartment complexes, which helped keep the rents somewhat down comparing to soaring property values. I had to slash the rent on my own property for about 10%. Its value is also down more than 10% comparing to the peak in late 2021.
Long Island, where I live now, is the worst place for renters I’ve ever seen, which is mostly because new developments do not exist, and there’s a massive low and medium income housing shortage getting worse by fucking NIMBYs. Every time a builder attempts to build a large apartment complex there are protests and shit. In my town they managed to stall a project since 1979s.

I remember when my younger brother moved to Austin around 1991. Back then you still had a lot of cars with bullhorns on the grill. And the houses were a lot of half-built nonsense that got funded by aggressive developers just when the recession hit and they all ran out of money. Austin was a littered graveyard of property developer dreams back then.

As Andries would most rightly say too, "That just doesn't happen in Europe." Well, unless Putin's drones are involved.

it was, it was one of the longest of its types

Holy shit, I've been on that bridge many times. Thank goodness it wasn't the Bay Bridge, but still.

Was probably a dumb Chinaman driving the boat.

So Baltimore is the third largest port on the east coast. Port is closed indefinitely. Great, more inflation.

Thank God it wasn't during the day. What a horrible way to go out for the people on the bridge at the time.

Apparently, the ship lost power. If only they had slaves rowing, this might not have happened.

It lost power right before hitting the bridge. Talk about bad luck.

Apparently this isn’t the first accident for this ship.

Yeah already noticed earlier that you clearly see the lights of the ship going off, so it was a malfunction. Saw a comment somewhere hypothesising a cyberattack in that way, never realised that something like that could potentially happen. Shocking scenes

Did you get in before interest rates went up, if you don't mind me asking?

Some friends bought a property in Binghamton to rent out, no idea how they're making anything considering what mortgage rates are now.

My FL house is at 2.45% lol - holding onto that one for a while

VA house is 3.99% but eventually ReFi if it goes down again

My advice: buy in a red state and get the fuck out of blue ones if you can

Heard the bridge was racist. Down with the patriarchy infrastructure!

2.45, gat dayum . I should've bought something back then, literally anything at all just to have it knowing what I do now. Unfortunately it looks like you're going to wait a while to lower that 3.99

If anything I'd go more north, I miss snow.

My neighborhood alone has like a third of the entire population of Fargo, North Dakota

All the beyotching that California's housing costs are too expensive, etc... but if you're buying it as an investment, how isn't that desirable?

Taxes aside, I never understood that logic. At some level, you effectively want to buy in a place that becomes harder to afford.

Because you're either going to be an owner wanting the value to go up or a renter beyotching about it.

And yet home prices going up is repeatedly framed in the news as a bad thing.

Maybe in the future, the modern modular houses (like the ones Elon Musk is promoting) might be something to consider.

we have them, they’re called trailer homes. They don’t hold the value at all. If you start making them nicer, might as well build a real home.
