ParticipantHopefully this will be balanced out in sum by the positive effects of the Fed’s tapering. As to 1% loans to Americans, most Americans would be too damn stupid to be responsible with that money.
Yay for more Mickey Dee’s, McMansions, and autotragic cars.
ParticipantInterestingly, Euro blipped down vs dollar, but is unchanged since yesterday right now.
Here’s hoping for a stronger dollar with more Fed tapering.
ParticipantHurt bad? So they tied you up and forced you to snort coke? Interesting if kinky…
ParticipantI’ve seen 2 and even 3 bedroom condos going in the $200-300k range in SD, in not necessarily hopping, but not awful areas. I don’t see why a couple who’s starting a family couldn’t afford something like that, at least at present until rates go up.
ParticipantSounds like it was written by a PR hack.
This being said, if there’s nowhere convenient to build out, building up (densifying) makes sense. I grew up in a condo (after I was 12, at least). It was actually nice living in a denser town where I could walk or bike to school, play sports after school without having to get a ride home. Nice for parents to be able to catch the express bus or train to NYC within walking distance vs having to sit in traffic, and to be able to travel in summer w/o having to worry about maintaining the house.
Most Americans are conditioned to prefer single-family, but condos in the right area and with a fairly normal HOA are actually an awesome thing. The HOAs of both condos that I own are pretty live-and-let-live.
Lastly, consider this: average floor space per household in 1970 was a bit under 1000 square feet. Were we really unhappier for that (and with bigger households/more kids than today)?
ParticipantWhy exactly are we gloating over the eviction of people who never hurt the OP and which provides no financial advantage to anyone here? What happened?
ParticipantWhere are people buying that they’re only getting 3% return? 6% isn’t hard to find in the US, 8% is relatively available if you want to do some work.
ParticipantYou can always put a decorative panel or bookshelves there if it bothers you in future. Or just leave the door and lock it if it needs to be locked.
ParticipantAZ and NV aren’t that far away. And I wonder if having to repaint the pergola regularly and possibly have it rot will have more effect on the environment than a one-time use of VOC stain.
ParticipantI get flyers all the time and I’ve never had glass damage from them.
Participant^^^
Holy crap, zombie thread resurrected. But I have to say I’m 100% in agreement, live and let live. Advertising real services shouldn’t be a crime, though it may be obnoxious.
Participant^^^
Never dug that show — it seemed to overestimate the dependence of mechanical objects on electricity.
Participant^^^
Damn you, autocorrect!
ParticipantHaha, would it be illegal to deliberately overpay, then file an amended return to get the soopah-seekret-speshul interest rate?
