Vermont is a good combination of old-fashioned New England conservatism and anti-corporate liberalism.

If you’re gonna be a typical American wimp and worry about every rare way to die, go ahead. Article also doesn’t speak to the Nissan’s age.

What does Vegas have that other cities don’t at this point? Everyone and their mom legalized gambling, you can no longer watch atomic fireworks from rooftops since the 1960s. OK, prostitution is legal outside the city, but that’s not hard to find in other places.

If you’re no longer managing property there, why would you bother with a rathole like Vegas if you have a condo in Hawaii?

If commute is not an issue, why not somewhere like Julian?

Buying bigger makes sense if you have the money and no longer need to be near work.

Prices in NYC itself never fell much and are near 2008 highs (if not higher in some segments). Prices outside of NYC are still depressed — NJ is full of foreclosures.

I don’t see this as a NYC-centric view at all.

flu – if you have a track record of income from the properties and from work, there’s no reason why you won’t be able to refi loans that you need.

Better work/life balance sounds like a winner. Jump on the opportunity.

NYC weather equally sucks.

I haven’t used A/C once this summer for what it’s worth.

Dallas is a pestilential landlocked shithole with a climate that would make me want to jump off a bridge. San Diego is not. Nice try though.

It’s now 4:45 am in NYC, 1:45 am in San Diego.

In San Diego, it’s 65 out.
In New York, it’s 70.
In Dallas, it’s 81 g-d damn degrees, 75% humidity. At 3:45 am. Not fit for pigs, let along humans who want to sleep without being drenched in sweat and waking up wanting to punch themselves in the nuts.

Doofrat: John Paul II was far from a figurehead. I’d agree about Benedict/Ratzinger.

Lol. Same issue of uploading footage of your private home to some cloudcrap provider. At the very least, one should get a camera system that has a choice of local storage vs cloudcrap spyware.

True IP cameras are cheap.

Look at late 2011. The Fed did eventually reverse course, but not before things over-corrected to the down side by 20% or so.

The time between Fed meetings is enough time for something bad or good (depending on your POV) to happen.

Then keep the cameras watching your own property. Don’t involve your neighbors in a mass corporate surveillance experiment.

Better your privacy than mine. This being said, if a neighbor installed something like that that watched so much as as an square inch of my property, he might see a mysterious guy with a water balloon full of indelible paint followed by darkness…

I may add that $10 per month per camera is bordering on sodomy. I can put up four IP cameras, and buy a computer and hard drive to record their output for the price of 6 months of this disservice.
