barnaby33ParticipantHow about just using a cloud backup service. Why mess with a local drive at all?
Joshbarnaby33ParticipantI’m always deeply suspect of anyone who conflates growth in Latino populations with a leftward political shift. Most Latinos are very conservative. They may have voted more liberal because of wedge issues, but for the most part their values align better with conservatives/Republicans.
Joshbarnaby33ParticipantHere you go utcsox Uber business model. Perhaps a bit old but nothing has fundamentally changed.
barnaby33ParticipantAnd now for something completely different, returning to the subject of the thread. My wife is always trying to get me to buy real estate in her country of Origin, Peru. Strangely enough real estate in an of the barrios where a gringo can even live is just as or more expensive as real estate here in most middle class areas. Worse still it’s almost all condos. I scratch my head every time I see asking prices; knowing nobody in the local economy can afford that. Certain areas it’s just gringos and Peruvians who emigrated returning with USD. Other more natively populated areas are cheaper but still ridiculous when you start looking at income to price ratios.
Partly as I said before I think it’s because of demand for land in the capital. Partly I think materials are more expensive. Partly I think that when your currency is really unstable you invest in real estate as a hedge and families seldom let things go. Inherently that creates a supply problem which would tend to drive prices up.

barnaby33ParticipantWelcome to San Marcos where you can find new urban construction next to cows
I would never qualify San Marcos as welcoming, not ever.
barnaby33ParticipantYou generally won’t ever see in California a cow so close to an apartment tower you could hear it moo and toss it half your pain au chocolat, which I did.
Oregon does this. The fights over moving the urban/rural development lines are worse than a knife fight. A good friend of mine’s wife is / was a civil planner in Eugene.
As to costs of housing that would explain Europe where they have zoning laws. What about South America which is much more, “flexible?” I say the unifying costs are that energy and materials are generally much more expensive in both nominal and real terms. I think that’s the underlying reason why on avg housing is cheaper in ‘murica.
Joshbarnaby33ParticipantUbers fundamental problem is that it can’t change the fundamental problem, of cost of transport. It was cheap because it was subsidized. Sadly that has gone away for the most part.
barnaby33ParticipantLabor is often cheaper around the world, but construction materials are expensive. In addition in many of the countries I’ve been to outside the developed Anglo world, all wealth and power is basically concentrated in the capital. This means competition for real estate in the capital is often quite fierce.
Plus this chart is dumb. It’s averaging price to income in the de-populating mid west with high cost coastal CA. That’s like conflating the cost in Miraflores (Lima) with rural Peru. In this case all real estate is truly local-ish.

Joshbarnaby33Participantyour potential loss opportunity, just like every other lost opportunity for being a perma skeptic.
There’s the asshole! Way to go FLU. I was simply questioning what you’d posted and you went all ad-hominem.
Joshbarnaby33ParticipantAlso fully remote that’s great, but the numbers you’re quoting don’t seem to support that. Most of the high paying places are pushing to get bodies back in office seats. Those that aren’t are most likely hiring remote and paying local wages + a bit of a premium.
Joshbarnaby33ParticipantSo leads, or directors? I’m terminology confused. A lead does work, a director manages people who do work. Or am I wrong here?
Joshbarnaby33ParticipantCheck the facebook group for SD hosts. At this point your odds are low, but it’s worth a shot.
