    I read the house in Training Day is in the market for 1.1 million. The house is shitty and by Dodger Stadium. That isn’t a very nice or desirable area to most people.

    The house where they kill Scott Glenn and steal his stash?

    Beautiful weather is intoxicating. People will take years off of their lives via stressful careers for such a thing.

    I've been here in Maui and the infrastructure is a joke. Parts of it looks like central Oregon fucking wasteland stuff even. But the 🌈 and beaches and warm weather appears to overcome all of that for people.

    I'm not judging, people should do what tf they want to.
    I had lunch in Wailuku last month, pretty gritty in places

    I love Maui but I'd go stir crazy if I lived there

    I thought it was pretty well known that outside of the main tourist spots Hawaii was borderline 3rd world

    In Thurston county, have a family member who is a very successful real estate agent. He is telling of properties where not only you have to be 50k over on a 450 ask, but then have escalators for another 60-75k if you want to get the property. Average time on the market last several months has been 4 days for properties to sell.

    His belief is this is one year away from crashing ala 2008. Last straw will be 14 million people currently in places that have not paid mortgage/rent b/c of the Virus that will be moving on to somewhere.

    That's really the only thing that can kill it. I've been waiting for the foreclosure moratorium (IOW "the other shoe") to drop. On the other hand, I'm reading that investors are buying up properties. It's possible that the foreclosures will be snapped up by institutional investors and the whole madness will continue.

    Definitely some time of the lowest standard of living I’ve driven through in the US are parts of HI. Makes @Swaye ’s trailer on the Rez look like the Ritz.

    Why not both?

    We work from Bakersfield to El Centro

    I don’t know If El Centro or Bakersfield is the armpit of California. It’s pretty close.

    I'm quite pleased I've been saving. When the shit crashes I'm poised for a nice pickup
