ParticipantHow important is it to you to have a pool light (or lights)?
You might sent a letter to all potentially liable parties telling them that you can name them all in a suit totaling thousands of dollars plus your own legal costs, or….they could all contribute and come up with $1000 (or whatever), and you’ll go away.

Yet the solution to the real estate glut of all categories is to NOT build for several years, allowing demand to sop up the accumulated surplus.

We seek instant gratification and postpone the costs. As consumers, as voters, as politicians–everyone wants benefits now and we have figured out new ways to put off the costs. This is the essence of credit cards, home equity extraction, Obamacare, CA fiscal decisions, government pension promises, etc.
Having done this for so long and in increasing amounts and with creative new tools, we now face certain mathematical inevitabilities that dim our future and that of our children.
We have done it to ourselves. I don’t see much awakening to this idea by the broader public whether consumer or voter. Piggs excepted, of course.ParticipantI sense much of our trouble could be traced to “short-termism”. We seek instant gratification and postpone the costs.

Given sobriety test. Asked usual questions. How many drinks? Just two. Why were you weaving? I like to. Why can’t you stand up straight? Bad back. When did you have your last drink? I haven’t had it yet.
