Real Estate Crash thread

[Mazderati]

If you don't move to a desirable town and form a PAC this year you'll be one year older when you do.

[goldenboy]

Has this PAC stuff been a result of Gunnison County kicking out all the second home owners from their own properties back in the spring, or was it already brewing?

As far as I'm concerned the Boulder couple for example knew what they signed up for, but if I spent a million plus on a house to escape to, and then was told by the locals to pound fucking sand and you aren't allowed here, I'd probably be a little upset. I can see how they wouldn't feel like they were being allowed in the club in that respect.

The resentment from that particular set of 2nd homeowners has been on simmer for years. The letter saying stay away during lockdown was gas on that fire, for sure. I don't know, at the time people were dying, Gunnison county had one of the highest covid rates in the country, we don't even have an ICU, and as far as I was concerned, I wasn't allowed to leave the county either. So I never felt that bad for them, it was just a crazy time for everyone, although the letter could have been worded a bit more delicately.

So when are various media outlets going to start talking about the evils of rural gentrification?

Word I hear ya. Here in Teton Valley we had some similar issues. One of our commissioners wanted to post up sheriffs on each route into the valley and start asking for proof of residency also. Personally I found that to be a step too far but was pretty concerned about some of the influx of people and the demands they were making right out of the gate.

Let's be clear - the disdain is not for newcomers, tech workers or anything - it's for people who come into a community to change it.
Easiest way to fight if you don't like it is volunteer for local government - it's rarely well staffed and they generally take who they can.

That's pretty much how all government is run.

Only a few locales ever get candidates of James Piotrowski's caliber.

^You are correct but being in your local government or just following it can really sour one's taste for a place.

Jesus, imagine living like this person. Yikes. I can smell the smugness.

Noelle, a 32-year-old commercial real estate developer, recently decamped to Whitefish, Mont., with her partner and their two young children.

Thankfully, they still have the keys to their Gramercy place.

“I miss talking to the doormen in the morning when I walk my dog,” said Noelle, who declined to give her last name for privacy reasons. “I miss going outside and being able to talk to people.”

While hiking, swimming and sledding are nice, she said they don’t hold a candle to visiting the Central Park Zoo with the kids or date night at Casa Mono, one of her favorite neighborhood restaurants.

Even her toddler can’t wait to return to his cosmopolitan routine.

Said Noelle: “My son looked at me one day and said, ‘Mommy, I miss sushi.’ ”

that story makes me happy. Buh-bye

[toastybroski]

I feel a little bad since I seem to be what most people are complaining about here but I want it to stay the way it is and not change. I finally made it, it just took me a while to get here.

This thread helps explain why we have Trump as president. Keep America frozen in place.

Good article about Montana and specifically Bozeman

It’s like my life flashing before my eyes. 35+ years in this state. I know two of the people in that article.

I get it Noelle, the city with all the restaurants, shopping and entertainment is enticing. I love metro areas of nice cities, BUT there is the other side of the coin that loves the mountains and the outdoors. The quiet and not having a fuck ton of people around you and if your lucky, skiing just a hoop skip away.
Obviously, Noelle and I need a lot more money so we can have a 2nd home in the mountains and one in town. #1stworldproblems.

Don't complain the sausage is bad unless you're willing to make some.

Stupid son - Whitefish has at least 2 sushi restaurants. Last time I visited Indah Sushi (owned by a CO native), I saw Tanner Hall. Not dead.

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

Pretty sure Tanner just moved back to MT full time. He posted on IG about just buying his dream Montana property. No broken ankles luckily.

[Bunion 2020]

And you didn't get the nod to represent him? The nerve of some people.

[Toadman]

Well, it could be like the former Soviet Union or China, where you had/have to get permission to move anywhere.

I think a lot of people in this thread would like that.

Not bad for a dead guy.

[Skistack]

Honestly, how many of these city folk are going to stick around after there's a vaccine and they've spent the last 7 months shoveling snow?

NPR was just talking about the influx to Rangley, ME. I'm pretty sure these people did not understand what they were signing up for.

[Whiteroom_Guardian]

I'm the poster boy for being "part of the problem" so my voice doesn't really matter. That being said, I bet the -20*F the other morning woke some people up.
