I have always enjoyed the bucolic, pastoral environs of Littleton, especially when shopping at South Plaza. It has such a country vibe, and quaint feeling.
More real estate doom and gloom

The complainers are talking about the "city" proper, which is east of the Platte.
Which is even *less* "country" than the Southwest Plaza suburban-hell area.

I have been too busy ruining myself, but now I should have free time to send many, many ‘strongly worded letters’ to local papers all over the country. Anyone have a Werthers?
Oh, I’m always packin’ some Werthers, it’s like an O.G. Gang Sign/Secret Handshake.
Lol, I should make some Steal Your Face shirts with Werthers in the skull, “Old And In Your Way”

I'm all about the Werthers as well.
Prefer the soft chewy caramels over the hard ones, but either are great.
Don't think it is just an old dude thing, as both my kids (21 and 31) also love them.
Gave them both a bag at Christmas, but the little fucks did not share.

New owner of Michael Jordan's $10m mansion selling $1m time shares
The new owner of Michael Jordan's $10 million Chicago mansion is offering $1 million ownership shares that would allow co-owners one week of access every year.
Probably not, they will make it as difficult as possible, after all its California. Back in 1991 after the Oakland hills fire they didn't have all the red tape they do today here in CA. They were scraping lots after 3-6 months and started building once the home owner designed their home and plans & engineering were approved because most were on very steep hillsides. Within a year, they started to rebuilding homes. I was a plumbing contractor back then and did about a dozen or so homes in the hills.
I have only ever known one family to lose a house to fire....
when i lived in virginia....it was a farm house built in the early 1800's.....
it wasn't a nice one either....
and then there was the house under construction at the bottom of the hill we lived on that blew up...

Did a Private Equity Fire Truck Roll-Up Worsen the L.A. Fires?
During the LA fires, dozens of fire trucks sat in the boneyard, waiting for repairs the city couldn't afford. Why? A private equity roll-up made replacing and repairing those trucks much pricier.

New data shows Oregon has nation's second-tightest housing market — and it’s even tighter outside Portland
Econ 101 - if there’s not a big enough supply of housing then just increase the price and the demand will go down.
My niece and her new husband just bought a house and their payments are $3200 a month. It's smaller and worth less than ours, I can't even imagine.
Is that with an impound account?
I don't think so. Something like $550k with only 5% down @ near 7%. I don't recall all the specifics, I just recall the shock factor when they talked about finally closing.
It's tough especially for kids these days, more than likely with 5% down they're paying PMI. Depending on their credit score PMI is typically .5-1% of money borrowed which will stick around until they own 20% of their home. At least they were able to enter the game, which is great!
Maybe. When you go from $1800 in rent to nearly double for mortgage, it's kind of a budget killer. As long as he keeps working, they will be OK, but no way in hell they can cover that if something happens to one of their incomes. And it's way more than 30% of their take home which also is less than ideal.
Being house poor sucks! They should be able to write off the interest paid on the loan, and maybe the state has some other tax breaks for first time home buyers. Still better to own than rent. It's an adjustment, I'm sure they will be fine after the first 6 months once they get used to the routine. Hopefully rates will start to drop in the next year or so and they can refinance. You're just paying mostly interest for the first several years, so it's not a big loss to do so.
Would you like the lot with or without the embers?
