Looks like the spin cycle is in overtime/drive in Texas right now - anything to take the spotlight oof of the police inaction and the Governor - Ted Cruz is Ted Cruz and no one or nothing can spin that into something respectable

What should Abbott do now? Take guns from Texans?

The only rational thing that he has not done but should do is to fire policepersons who waited outside while kids were shot, and cancel their pensions

Agreed this has nothing to do with Abbot, he has no fault in this but should probably fire a few now

Absolutely.

There may be criminal charges in order as well.

noone is asking why that kid decided to shoot school, which video game put those ideas into his juveline brain.

One economist said that house prices could drop as much as 40% during the summer of 2022

ERECTION INTENSIFYING!!!

I think it has more to do with urban areas and I'm talking about 100k population or higher. 100k or under I think will do well I believe and under 20k population much better. Interest rates are a factor, but I think those urban areas on the map were driven irrationally high, but people are also fleeing those places to maybe move 20 miles away because it is cheaper AND there's less crime. Also the inflow into hipster areas is likely to slow (Boise, Austin, Nashville, etc).

Also work from home being more common, means you can stock up once a week and drive 20-30 minutes one way to a big box store and live in a small town with less amenities, less crime and generally better schools. If you do well you can just have groceries delivered and pay the fees. We do that occasionally. My wife likes going to the store though, she has a workout group in a bigger town with more amenities than ours and doesn't pay gas out of pocket.

Back to crime, Chicago now has a curfew for those 17 and under of 6pm for Millennium Park and 8pm city wide. Chicago is going to be a blood bath this weekend. Teens will defy out of spite. Also 90º days over memorial day weekend is going to force the poor outside as the 3rd floor of a three flat is going to be miserable. I'd peg the apartment buildings on the south and west sides as maybe 30-40% even have central air. It will be 80-85º inside most units. The teens WILL be outside shooting to keep cool in the evening. Who wants to live in that city or any for that matter? As white collar people move crime will just get worse and obviously inventory will go up with people fleeing.

There’s still a demand for housing and not a large excess supply.

I have no idea what is going on everywhere, but where I have been living in the last few years the demand is high.

I’m not a fan of “real estate investing”, but I don’t know what Burry is worrying about.

Home prices still rising WoW in pleasanton

My college roommate and good friend just moved to the Dallas suburbs and has been getting beat out on everything he’s been trying to buy for the past 2months

He’s frustrated as hell.

Success in life requires enough money so you don’t have to take orders from a boss, or get up early for 5 days per week to go make it.

Otherwise, success is having friends and interesting things to do and the ability to do them, which requires a certain level of health.

I see a lot of guys who have enough money, but they have a wife or partner pushing them around, or they are just drinking and chasing females.

DooDahMan says

Everything is bigger in Texas - gun deaths and even violent crime compared to Illinois - go figure huh ?

I know you cite the per capita rate, but Chicago is just one major city. Rockford is rough around the edges. Aurora on the east side of the city can be rough, but I think murders there have gone to almost zero. Decatur, East St. Louis and Peoria are rough in spots, but not that bad.

The better comparison would be with Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio to Chicago.

I'm not researching this, but my point was that cities are having rising crime. I have ZERO fear of being murdered in my state where I'm at and our CC laws are fairly mundane for a blue state, albeit it's still a hurdle. South of I-80 here in IL murder via gun is almost non-existent outside of the few cities/towns I mention.

So if you can work from home, you'll work from home in a place with less crime. Chicago over a 2 decade period had more shootings/killings than our troops killed during our dumb ass war in Afghanistan. Local news affiliates will report on the crime and people are starting to think "shit, I need to get out of here." Schools are better in suburbs and rural areas anyway. And yes, there are one off great schools in cities. It's maybe 5% though in major cities that are actual good schools.

I couldn’t care less about living a “successful” life. That’s someone else’s dumb attempt to box me and classify me. And I really DGAF about what others think of me.

However, the actual list you posted is pretty good and for the most part I do try to strive and achieve the items on that list. It’s really a fairly religious list….most religions demand their adherents under take thinking process and actions that will result in those items.

So success is a fairly meaningless term to me I’d say. I have goals and I’d like to reach those goals, most of which wind up with me having a positive oversized influence on the children in my life, and carving out a space where my wife and I can pursue and enjoy as much of life as possible. A secondary factor is protection of my family, knowing even the best led life can go to shit at any moment.

DooDahMan says

110% + agree and now it is slowly working it's way outward like ripples from a rock thrown into the water

Yes, it will. But it will be minor in suburbs. Rural, well you don't to a rural area to commit crime. That's the easiest way to get shot and you don't know the lay of the land if you're the usual criminal.

And sure, you'll get someone in your town that tracks your movement, but it's still a massive risk in rural areas to rob or harm someone. You know the owner has a gun 9 out of 10 times. I'm the 1 that doesn't (might in the future) but I have other security measures.

I'd flee from cities right now and that's why I think values will drop. Plus Millennials that start family now in the city and have a shooting two blocks away with an average school will move out. Biggest demo and not a ton have bought houses.

Agreed it's mainly a flight from urban shitholes

or get up early for 5 days per week to go make it.

Waking up early is the best possible thing you can do. It was hard for me to switch, plus some insomnia helped, but don't knock it. Not trying to be a dick.

4-4:30am is the perfect time to wake up. Probably even better for those of you on the West Coast. If you wake up at 7am Pacific, the Eastern time zone is ready for lunch practically. Potential news and opportunities were missed while you were sleeping.

Spanish do it the best. Siesta. My wife hates it, but I think a nap is a really healthy thing. I will usually sleep 30-90 minutes during the day. Partially because the insomnia with maybe 4 hours of sleep and I'm usually up till midnight. I'll sleep in my car if need be when I'm out and about. This idea you need 8 hours of sleep at one time is kind of stupid in my opinion.

Jet lag is a factor, but there's a reason airport lounges have sleeping rooms. I wish there were more domestic airport lounges for domestic flights. I'd get to the airport 3 hours early here in Chicago, take a quick nap and then do productive or fun stuff on the plane. I struggle to sleep on planes, even with the occasional first class flight. Also why fly first class if you're going to sleep?

Maybe I'll start a sleep thread? I'd be interested others habits and don't want to hijack this one.

Just like the last crash the shitholes will rebound the slowest and those shit holes have expanded greatly since last crash. I just don't see how people live in places like LA, they are like frogs in a slow boiling pot.

It's sad cause even LA used to be a pretty cool place with a vibrant music scene (always transient and shallow sure but that's the nature of showbiz, nonetheless cool). I just keep the image of LA from 20 years ago or more in mind, the one from movies like Swingers or shows like Californication. Like with Vegas there's always been sin (and fun) but now it's just a crime ridden dirty shithole, a former shadow of itself. Other cities will take its place though

‘No white roses for your dad?’ Meghan Markle is slammed for making a surprise appearance at site of Texas school massacre while refusing to visit estranged dad Thomas after he was hospitalized with a stroke
Markle was spotted on Thursday laying a bouquet of white roses at a makeshift memorial outside the Uvalde County Courthouse
As well, she also stopped by an Uvalde community center that is hosting a blood drive, where she toured the facility and donated food
Some took umbrage with what they felt was the duchess' attempt to take center stage after an unimaginable tragedy
'I find her posing like this with no doubt her own photographer utterly disgusting,' one user tweeted.

She just wanted to give the event that Markle sparkle. Where was her gimp Royal ginger?

Tired of people acting like Texas law enforcement didn’t spring into action to save those children. They armored up and brought out the MRAP and went in there ready for battle.

Oh wait. This was what they did to a bar that tried to serve some beer during COVID lockdowns.

If he had been holding donuts hostage, they would have been all in immediately.

I wake up early in Baja because I go to bed early down here, but it’s because I’m awake and don’t like to stare at the ceiling.

Sometimes I’m sleepy after a late lunch but I don’t sleep well in daytime.

Police need to be held accountable for their inaction here.

Blood is on their hands. Jobs need to be lost and offending officers charged.

The job comes with responsibility to public service. If you don’t fulfill that responsibility, you lose your job. If you don’t fulfill that responsibility and people die, you lose your job and go to prison.

Never going to happen. There was a scotus decision on this very thing years ago. Police are not obligated to save anyone.

No doubt about it however...lets not ignore the actual data - the kind politicians like to forget about

Total gun deaths in Illinois 1,543

Total gun deaths in Texas 3,513

https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/gun-violence-by-state

26. Texas

> Annual firearm death rate: 12.7 per 100,000 people
> Total annual firearm: 3,683 (suicides: 2,237, homicides: 1,299)
> Background checks in 2020: 2,325,281 (8,019 per 100,000 people — 12th lowest)
> 1-yr. change in background checks: +56.4% (17th highest)
> Annual violent crime rate: 419 per 100,000 people (16th highest)

37. Illinois

> Annual firearm death rate: 10.7 per 100,0...

Suicides should be separated from crime methinks. If someone wants to off himself that is not a crime unless we are being religious.

What is called capitalism today is actually Mussolini's fascism.

We are not in a capitalist system. We've not been in one for at least 20 years.

This is not a free market system, it's not been for my entire adult life.
