My friend was bidding on a house and the price went over by 30% asking, the house needed a new roof and it had termites. It's loving wild out there.

Yeah a few blocks of downtown (that were mudflats 170 years ago) will get flooded, the rest will be fine.

Remember when they were planning to fill in San Francisco bay and a cause untold environmental damage? Just do the opposite of that and give the city back to the bay.

San Francisco NIMBYs will prevent so much as a single grain of sand from being distributed until the bay is lapping at their doorstep. Whereupon they will demand Something Be Done At Once, only to be thwarted by the rest of the NIMBYs that have even another foot of elevation.

That or they all know it's completely hosed, but also know they need to lie about it if they're going to sell any of these properties. The BWM portion is going to be on the US or the state of Florida when we decide to spend billions if not trillions of dollars trying to raise these cities instead of doing what's really needed and razing them.

I was thinking about buying a home, save wanted some expert advice from someone not trying to sell me something, so I asked a friend who is a commercial mortgage underwriter in a different state. This person has zero economic interest in me purchasing a house, and yet enthusiastically told me I should totally do it, it's never a bad time to buy, prices are only ever going to go up, etc. It's a loving cargo cult.

This is why the ultimate GWM move is to buy property in the boonies and get a job that allows telework or remote working. Or move to a place like Salt Lake City, the Twin Cities, Kansas City, Wilmington, Des Moines, or Omaha that has a city infrastructure but dirt cheap property 30 minutes out of downtown. Backup plan is to become a feral human.
