Real Estate Crash thread

[Name Redacted]

Easy to assume the worst of people to justify hating on everything and every one. STRs, WFH, SHO, etc have all existed in these places for many years. They've just become accelerated and exacerbated by the internet and Covid. Internet and the accelerated exchange on information has also made it easy to hate on everyone for something. No one is a saint, everyone does something that deserves some kind of admonishment. Landlords, business owners, STR owners, town council members, politicians, ski bums, renters, trust funders, tourists, locals, WFHs, vanlifers, the list goes on, hate them all!!!! Just STFU and get a job as a barista working for the locally owned (by some capitalist pig), fair trade, coffee shop, make sure you recycle, save your tips, remember to smile, froth that latte just right, and maybe, just maybe, no one will hate you, till you take your dog on a walk and you forget your poopbags.

Unless you live the dream in abject poverty, you are an asshole. Move back where you came from.

if the govt is handing out money I suggest getting to the front of the line as fast as you can
no shame in taking free money everyone does it
people just get upset when they don't know how to run the system other people pretend they don't every take anything for free
get over it

thats why I teached my dog to shit in a planter or some bushes thats why I live in the mtns bra

[Conundrum]

Definitely grab the money. But the crying when the risk/reward scale doesn’t work out is tiresome.

It’s the fucking internet. STD rentals would be hard to do with a newspaper ad

I feel like STD rentals would face a lot of challenges with or without the internet.

Maggot price = $37.

I'm not core enough to have a WSJ sub, and they have a firm paywall.

That sent me down a rabbit hole of local grifters. A fucking church took 10k.

Slightly OT. We had a bunch of flooding in Montana, it was in all the papers and a lot of people lost their asses.

Watching the news a woman who owns a bunch of STRs was whining that people are cancelling their stays this summer and its hurting her business and she needs the State to step in and help her out.

Hmmm, too small to bail. Gov't really should help small business. Big business can take care of itself, And if not, it should be allowed to fail. But at the end of the day, let capitalism do its thing.

Made it to Boulder last weekend while visiting the father unit in CO. Pretty cool town. My brother says the people of Boulder are assholes. Probably because he went to CSU in Ft. Collins though.

I agree a pedal, or paddle or a run/hike in the wilderness would be a good way to go.

[Danno]

There's definitely a pretty good number of assholes here. Also some very good people

Thank Trump and company who immediately refused to have any level of auditing around the funds (so they and their buddies could steal the most) despite it being part of the package.

I'd put my money on more total assholes as a percentage of population in Fort Collins.

[liv2ski]

I'd put my money on more total assholes as a percentage of population ANYWHERE.

Fixed it for ya

Vs boulder? Or summit county?

It always struck me as odd when the classic "vocal local" type shit on the newcomer yuppy for this stuff. Its as if they think the yuppy didnt have to work their ass off, and made no sacrifices to get where they are now. And the vocal local always seems to conveniently forget about the massive, obvious, whole-reason-for-living-where-they-do-benefit that they enjoyed all these years that the yuppy didnt.

fastfred had a good perspective when he says that he doesnt really envy his richass clients because their vacation, is his life.

Shit, I love making fun of the "local status" types long dicking each other arguing in the local paper while referencing how long they have been here, but I'm highlighting a small but important nuance in these small resort communities that corporate city monkeys here can't fathom until you've lived it, saw it, made fun of it, and laughed at it. It's like its a battle to some locals how "core" you can be out here.

Never experienced this "localer than thou" attitude anywhere else, in fact, the college i went to in the sticks called their locals "townies". It was not a connotation that was desired by anybody, including the townies.

I don't envy most of the rich with 2nd/3rd/4th homes here. After seeing how the sausage is made, Money clearly does not buy happiness, and these 2nd homeowners have a litany of their own problems/issues, and are generally unhappier than your average american. These problems would rank low on Maslows Hierarchy (edit: high), but they are problems nonetheless...

Kevo is in the right mindset with being honest about a situation and genuinely trying to improve things around his orbit, albeit not seeing yet what will eventually become obvious on to some of the undercurrent politics/issues in his new valley. TV is a big dick measuring contest just like the RFV if you get caught in that type of crowd.

Yes. Churches have employees.

Covid closed churches.

Fuck those employees!!!!
Let them pray for mana from heaven.

#sarc.

But I would have no problem taxing the churches. Fuck this non profit shit. Just don’t profit. Then there’s no taxes.

[Bronco]

Sounds like 2008 all over again.

[yeahman]

Great news bunion. Demand destruction is the only way out of this mess.

[dunfree]

And it’ll make the rebound more painful. Never break the bullwhip it’s the American way
