Real Estate Crash thread

[Benny Profane]

Even Texas has regional development planning, and geographic restrictions like streams and flood plains.

That's a fucking joke. You know the flooding in the Houston burbs after that recent hurricane, what, two or three years ago? Again the mainstream media and the Neo liberals cried disaster, climate change, which is stupid, because, simply, they built thousands of homes and strip malls and corporate parks in a place that, well, floods when it rains a lot, especially when you do all that construction and paving and degradation of the natural soil drainage. So, of course, disaster! I remember seeing overhead views of that land on some website at the time, pictures of that area in the 1930s as opposed to now, and, back then, there wasn't shit except maybe a ranch out there, and now it's full blown 'Murica suburbia. So, even if it did flood in the 30s, the only damage would have been lost cattle and low lying out buildings, if that, or, nothing really at all if nobody was using the land, but, now, less that a century later, it's a billion dollar DISASTER! Who could have seen it coming?? Maybe the brilliant regional development planners you speak of? C'mon man. That's real estate developers bribing municipal authorities, like in so many other places in America. But, especially in freedum Texas. Shit, those municipal people probably come real cheap in that state. The fastest growing state in America, btw. More! More! Bet those Houston suburbs are 15% bigger now.

Muskrat might build that high speed rail as a benefit for his employees.

This is an interesting development - BP’s gone Texan local now.

Bezos new pad on La Pérouse Bay, Maui aint bad. $78 million, 14-acres, 4,500-square-foot house, 1,700-square-foot guesthouse, and a 700-square-foot swimming pool. Last sold for $4.2 million in 1996. Includes the only remaining sandy beach on the southern coastline since Haleakala’s last lava flows in the 1750s. It also includes the remains of an old Hawaiian church.

As I understand Hawaii law, the beaches are all public. In fact, you can camp on the beach if you are fishing. However, the bay is a nature preserve so there is no fishing there. It still appears you could boat into Bezos' private beach and chill for the day. Pretty gross we let humans privately own places as beautiful and unique as this.

Fuck no.

[Meadow Skipper]

Fuck no.

Well, how is it you know so much about the place?

[RootSkier]

Because BP doesn't even have to have visited to consider himself a local.

Benny is not a person, he is a state of mind that transcends to all locales.

Can’t wait for the tourist snorkel cruise boats to anchor off that beach for half the day. “Bezos Beach Snorkel Tours”

There's this thing called journalism. Heard of it? It's a lot of big words on paper or screen, so, I understand that it has scared you off.

Cough, cough…. [bullshit]. Could you link your references then?

I read here once that you were a good troll. I submit your reply above as a counter-argument.

Oh, and bless your heart, Monsieur Merde de Taureau.

[old_newguy]

Yeah, Houston is known for its progressive and responsible development in the floodplain. LOL.

They tend to avoid the place unless there's oil to drill.

Houston is the 25th most densely populated metro region in the US. Dallas is 19th. Both are more dense than other supposedly well-planned urban areas; Seattle (27), Minneapolis (31), Portland (84), Denver (96), and Salt Lake City (371). Houston is also one of the least white, most diverse, metro areas in the US, less white than Dallas.

Of US cities, only NY and LA metro regions have a population density above 2,000 people per square mile. Compare that to other international metro regions; Tokyo, Barcelona, Moscow, Buenos Aires all with over 12,000. London and Madrid over 13,000. Singapore, St. Petersberg, Santiago, and Mexico City, 21,000. Mumbai, the most dense urban region is over 76,000.

I'm not sure where you got the idea that Denver was a well-planned urban area...
