[quote=bibsoconner]Our one and only house in Pt. Loma is paid off (about 2.3 million according to Redfin/Zillow). We had this idea of moving to St. Thomas, USVI. My wife has family there. She’d continue with her existing job. I’d teach college, high school, or just be a bartender or bus boy. Those last two jobs do not scare me and actually sound sort of appealing right now. I’m somewhat in favor of selling the house. Renting it out from a distance could be a pain.[/quote]
[quote=The-Shoveler]My crystal ball seems to have a defect (or two).
Still working on getting my quantum eraser working though.
Not really a big Climate change believer (or denier) but If I was living too close to sea level I would always be watching the Antarctic glaciers in case I needed to get to higher ground LOL.
The Above said, I think I would always want to own something on the west coast, I think a better question is where you think homes will be in 10 years (time goes by incredibly fast).[/quote]
IMHO a paid off home in SD is akin to having a goose that lays golden eggs,…
as an example walking over to my local coffee shop this morning actually noticed in the neighborhood a small 3 bedroom 2 bath home listed for a monthly 4k rent
basically as I see things keep the home and rent it out,… even if it might be a sorta pain in the ass
actually stopped by piggington myself to ask about if anyone here has experience renting out housing for short term traveling nurses
basically have a studio that I set aside for catholic school teachers (and give them a big break on rent to encourage them to stick around),…anyway am having a tenant move out so until I am able to get another catholic school teacher I thought I’d try short term housing,… any opinions???
FWIW WRT man made climate change,… glaciers in the polar region melt pretty slowly in human terms BUT what is happen is akin to a blink of an eye in geological time,… consider what just happened in the year 2021, scientists observed the first rainfall on top of a mountain of ice in the arctic circle
AND during xmas 2021 there was a record heat wave in alaska,..
meanwhile man made climate change skeptics/deniers say the weather has always changed and CO2 along w/ other greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere is nothing to worry about even though the trend is ever increasing amounts (FYI used an image invoking “Russian roulette” because it is simpler to understand than showing all the math)
looking at the existing trends (if no corrective action is taken) here is a simple perspective of what is going to happen (i.e. we’re heading for a climate something akin to the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum)
