Have you considered a box truck conversion with a front porch?

This will be the first time this international organization has launched a military intervention of any kind as part of its collective security provisions.

the extra lol part here is that: - the CSTO has not previously deployed peacekeeping forces despite several requests from member states - in 2021, a CSTO member state requested the assistance of peacekeeping forces after it was attacked by another non-member state - the CSTO member state in question was Armenia, who announced the current operation (but 100% had no input into the decision to launch it) you do have to appreciate Russia's level of trolling on some level, even if you do not have to hand it to them

Mr. Nice! posted:This is not a good part of town. This land is not valuable for development. There’s an empty lot of similar size down the road. I can’t imagine anyone builds anything desirable out here. If this was more central to the city or in a nicer area, I could see it being a development target. As is, though, I can’t imagine that you attract anyone to come live in this area. Getting rid of undesirable people and structures is how you make undesirable land more desirable.

Stupid question, where are all these people who can afford all this high rent that's sweeping the nation? Is it due to folks in the PRC buying up land & such? It seems few Americans can really afford these prices. I saw the same poo poo when I was stationed in Australia, in that a lot of their high rent/mortgage prices were due to the heavy Chinese influence there.

It's greed and panic. People feel like the bubble isn't going to pop or is even a bubble. China's property purchasing in the US isn't enough to screw up every city and locality. Also a lot of the rentals are owned by corps and llcs and don't give a gently caress, number go up. My last place tried to hit me with a 25% increase. They were bought by an investment company, painted the buildings, repaved the parking lots, jacked rents.

In Texas it’s in part people selling in NY and Cali and buying here. But also the % of total income people are paying for housing continues to go up because it can, and our government doesn’t care to do anything about it.

US Postal Service currently playing through the FA part of FAFO. Postal Service asks for temporary waiver from Biden vaccine requirement WaPo, but I set it as a gifted article, you should all be able to view it without the paywall. Arcella posted:In Texas it’s in part people selling in NY and Cali and buying here. Ditto in Colorado. I put in offers on five or six houses before I was able to get one in the general neighborhood that I wanted. From what my realtor passed on, the local market is currently nuts because people are selling homes in more expensive areas - usually coastal California - and then making cash offers, often above asking price and waiving property inspections. We haven't had REITs sweep through yet, but I'm sure that's just a matter of time.

When we bought here in TX we ended up offering over asking and waiving the appraisal adjustment. It ended up appraising for our offer but still.

I can still find cheap houses in rural Illinois. They're not in great condition, are usually decked out in 70s/80s style, and jobs are an hour drive away, but they can be found. Property taxes are high though, which depresses the sale price.

A bunch of investment/rental properties in our neighborhood were liquidated in the last year or so. I'm up in Greeley and I bet 20 rental units went to regular buyers. I'm not sure what happened, but in our area the market seems to be levelling off. It's still crazy that my house would sell for almost 500k, and it's basically a starter home.

I mean eventually the bottom has to fallout of the rental/house buying market right? China can't possibly want their capital continually going out of state forever to buy property in the US/Canada and locally rents are increasing without really an increase in wages, combine that with the amount of people dying or having to live in assisted living situations because of covid and demand should be plummeting.

Or maybe he couldn't find two party hacks who would agree to remove the postmaster general. Too late now anyway, first class mail got hosed in October and it'll never be as good as it was before!

The Rhode Island housing market vanished 8 months into covid as all the wfh Bostonians and New Yorkers bought second homes there. My house has gone up almost 50% in value since that started but I can't find a place to buy nearby if I sold.

It's on the edge of the poorest zip code in the state, and has the same people living in it. Like there is absolutely nothing out here and no reason to build this way. This isn't an appropriate spot for student housing or anything else. There is no way any ritzy development is going up down the street from me unless they build security fences and massive gates. This isn't something that can be gentrified. It's a poor trailer park in a poor part of town. No one with any money is moving down here.

I grew up in a rust belt city, and the area that used to be all abandoned factories and literal blocks of empty houses is now full of condos and artisanal kombucharies and whatnot. Sounds like the place your talking about is not likely to be gentrified, but since they're not making new land, it can likely be made to appreciate. Or be sold as a site for a dollar general.
