i'm more partial to this one, but it doesn't sound like that house was a rental.Well, maybe I was suggesting doing that to the owner’s house, eh?
More real estate doom and gloom

- Start date
It was empty.
Well 7 months is most of a year...
that's almost bitcoin numbers
in all fairness the market was completely batshit in '21. and the last time it sold was before the '08 recession
Wait. Was it just a lot in 2007?
listing says house was built 1940.
Either that or it was a total dumpster fire.
but it's a total dumpster fire now
A 330k one.
Funny how easily 120k just disappeared
that's the entire market tho.but it's a total dumpster fire now
A 330k one.

"everyone does it" doesn't make it okay
the whole basis of this thread, including toshi's lamenting fake loss of fake value is just how fucked up this whole system is.

Oh, FFS, Jackson, you have jumped the shark.
just listed for 4.5M.
And that’s not even your garage.

Some guy on a bike forum told me not too long ago that jackson really is turning around and changing.
Can't remember who...
I never actually said anything as dramatic as that, I said that there are still good people trying to effect change. Which is still true.
Jackson is structurally incapable of change. They literally built the entire system to do exactly what it does.
Huh. A lot of high horses in here.
I just purchased a new piece of property with an older building that I am renovating to live in. It is nearly ready for occupancy and we plan to move in about a month. Thus, we have listed our current home for sale.
So, if I am to understand this thread correctly:
If I can’t sell the place quickly enough in a now shitty market, it should be handed over to squatters. Bc if it’s empty too long, I somehow relinquish my ownership of it.
If I can’t sell it and decide to rent it out, I am a leach on society.
If I actually do manage to sell it, I should avoid any capital gains beyond straight inflation or risk being branded “part of the problem.”
Any thing I missed?

the point
Really?
Do you really believe that property ownership is theft as seen in the context of today’s society? Because that is the logical (albeit extreme) extension of what I think I am hearing here…
You can make up whatever shit in your head you want but I never said that.
You have some kind of persecution complex going on with your new property or something?
Some of us do have a real problem with what's happened to property ownership as a market in this country (see also: healthcare), and toshi is just worried about his property values, but you might be a little off in left field.
I was actually pretty careful about making it clear that I was taking the recent comments (not even yours, in fact) in this thread to a logical extreme. I was certainly not putting words in anyone's mouth. The truth is that I was aiming at you a little bit, bc of some of our (I think) shared anarchist views. One of the common things I hear in anarchist circles is that property is crime. My point that I failed to make was that I actually do fully understand and to some extent hold that same belief. However, in the context of the society we live in I cannot act on/out those beliefs...
Haha. Actually, yes, but not in the way I think you mean.
For fuck sake, man, do you really think I don't have a problem with this market? It is this fucked up market that has me all tied up in a knot. I am just trying to move from one property to another and this market could literally bankrupt me. It probably won't, but the possibility certainly exists...and that scares the fuck out of me, bc just like 99% of the people in this country I have no safety net.
Healthcare? Not sure if you're referencing other comments of mine here on RM, but I don't think my opinion of american "Healthcare" is that vastly different than yours.
I have no idea what you are specifically referring to by that, but...probably, yes.
I just deleted a page long post and then went back and read your original one like 3 times
Nevermind. I just read it as if I were typing an it takes on a different tone completely
anyway, yeah let's setup base and kill the petty bourgeois

Yes, let's set up the base and start figuring out who to kill...because that is the problem I am having. When I listen carefully to the rhetoric and then check the mirror, sometimes I get confused...
I don't even know what is going on in this thread anymore.
My dad was used to yammer *exactly* like those fat old white dudes about the same goddam stuff back in the 80's.
Looks to me like both of them could go several months without any food at all and survive.
Now we give them huge government contracts
$42 billion Palantir's new $90 million contract to help with safety at America's nuclear weapons branch is key to a crucial initiative to expand its business beyond defense contracts
With a new contract finalized last week, Palantir will supply software for government's nuclear weapons branch as it seeks more deals under Biden.
