Participant[quote=Coronita][quote=flyer]Love it. Seem like good choices to me + a “must have” is living near the beach for us whether it’s here or in HI, etc.[/quote]
Well, then, I guess that’s where you and I sort of differ.
You see, though one could say I probably had a silver spoon. I never feel I “need” any fancy smancy material good that only 1% can obtain in order to feel good about myself… I feel good about myself already knowing pretty much I’d I wanted something, I could probably have it. Nor do I feel a need I have something that 99% of the rest of us cannot obtain.
That’s why despite I could have a McClaren, I still drive a POS Miata and Audi with peeling paint.
Because like Escoguy who drives an Uber without people knowing who he really is, likewise , I enjoy keeping a low key so then I know people who I’m friends with really are my friends and not just someone kissing my ass because they need something… Also, my friends also tend to not play these rich people’s version of “who has the bigger dick” game…because, what’s the point of having the biggest dick, if they people playing this game are so old the only way to keep it from being limp is Viagra???[/quote]
At least you don’t deal w/ extreme heat and lots of walls in your housean
Participant[quote=deadzone]Yes, and that is relevant if you actually owned NAIL, or more specifically if you had somehow timed the dip perfectly and bought it 3 days ago. But you didn’t. If you want to roll the dice, buy some NAIL at today’s price and let’s see how that works out.
But you are correct in pointing out that up till now the Homebuilder stocks have been amazingly resilient given the rising interest rate environment. I don’t think the future bodes well for them but we’ll see.[/quote]
What make you think I don’t? As for buying more… why? Instead of talking about it, why don’t you buy some PUTs.But you’re right, you timed it perfectly and I didn’t listen. Better yet, why didn’t you buy PUTs 3 days ago when it was crashing hard and you were obviously gloating?

Participant[quote=an][quote=deadzone]Or just follow the other brilliant people in this thread and buy some more calls in NFLX and NAIL… LOL[/quote]
If s/he did, I wish I bought more, on this day @ ~$29/share for NAIL, it’s currently over $38/share, would be an amazing return after just 2 days.[/quote]
I didn’t expect to see this, but NAIL closed today at $40.43. That’s over 39% appreciation in just 3 days from the lows of 3 days ago.an
Participant[quote=JPJones][quote=deadzone]The entire Tech industry is dying. Massive layoffs are right around the corner.[/quote]
These are the type of statements that lose me entirely. You’ve already shown that you have no clue as to what’s going on in the tech industry outside of what you read in financial publications. Yeah, there will be layoffs. They’re already starting, but companies are so starved for qualified staff that I’m not sure those layoffs will do much more than balance out the employment market. Only time will tell, but like I said, I don’t gamble.[/quote]
Exactly, layoff has been around and will continue to be around. Large companies tend to not fire people, too much legal risks to do so. So, they keep those low performers around, waiting for a time that they can do the layoffs and they’ll will let those people go. The good ones will be likely to do internal transfer to other teams when the company cut the entire team.an

Participant[quote=sdrealtor][quote=an][quote=spdrun]Or it could be done in California for the same price? California has trade schools, tech boot camps, housing, and SDSU, right?[/quote]
Nah, it’s better to do it in NJ.[/quote]How about this? We send two homeless people to live with him and pay him $100,000 a year to take care of them. Then we tax him and send him two more
That solves all our problems[/quote]
That’s an awesome idea! Let’s do that!May 23, 2022 at 9:42 PM in reply to: SF city RE prices down to 2017 prices due to crime wave and WFH #825721an
Participant[quote=spdrun]The idea of a city/state job isn’t unreasonable, assuming you can get the unions not to object that homeless people are competing with them for jobs. Because you just know it will happen.
Get them housing, get them clean up, get them counseling, and offer them a job.[/quote]
It’s easier to not do anything, hence SF.May 23, 2022 at 9:38 PM in reply to: SF city RE prices down to 2017 prices due to crime wave and WFH #825719an

Participant[quote=an][quote=spdrun]LOL. NJ’s average is $60 grand per year. You could rent them a nice apartment, feed them, offer them counseling, and send them to trade school or Rutgers for that price.[/quote]
Awesome, let’s do that! Problem solved.[/quote]
Once they get clean and start working, let’s garnish their wage to pay for the service. We can also make them work for the city/state while they’re getting clean and garnish their wage to pay for the service.May 23, 2022 at 9:35 PM in reply to: SF city RE prices down to 2017 prices due to crime wave and WFH #825716an

Participant[quote=spdrun]Are you actually proposing a life sentence for repeated misdemeanors or violations?
If it’s not a life sentence, jail time doesn’t improve mental health, doesn’t generally improve job prospects, and is more expensive than providing housing.
Incarceration costs upwards of $100,000 per year in California.[/quote]
The don’t do it in CA. Ship them to NJ.May 23, 2022 at 9:30 PM in reply to: SF city RE prices down to 2017 prices due to crime wave and WFH #825711an
Participant[quote=spdrun]No, but some of the behaviors that people take issue with (theft, public defecation, camping where it isn’t allowed) are illegal.
How do you propose we fix this?[/quote]
Jail them in low security prison and 3-strike.May 23, 2022 at 9:26 PM in reply to: SF city RE prices down to 2017 prices due to crime wave and WFH #825708an
Participant[quote=spdrun]OK, then they’ll continue to sleep on the street. Arrest them? Possibly. But jailing people costs the taxpayers more than just providing housing/food/services in the free world.[/quote]
Strawman… It’s not illegal to be homeless.May 23, 2022 at 9:19 PM in reply to: SF city RE prices down to 2017 prices due to crime wave and WFH #825705an
Participant[quote=spdrun]F-NO to the idea, or F-NO to this being why the homeless turn it down?[/quote]
F-NO to no string attached. You can house them in your house with no strings attached. -
