COVID-19 paused the housing market. What happens next?
I’m not sure what part of Biden polling ahead of Trump in every battleground state and Democratic senate challengers massively outraising Republican incumbents that you don’t understand.
This is a stupid argument anyway because Newsom doesn’t have a big switch in his office that turns the economy back on. It’s going to be a long, slow slog.

This is hilarious. You get a reasonable response and immediately issue word vomit of slogans only terminally online people could begin to understand. Newport Beach is not America dude. I think you might be in the bubble.

Nice try, but you may want to turn off MSNBC and open your eyes to reality. Why not go to Newport Beach and speak with your fellow Californians to see how they feel about Joe Biden or "the bureaucratic state?" You’re living in an echo chamber of liberal propaganda and should start your TDS deprogramming now because if you don’t on November 3 you may completely lose what’s left of your mind. #COVID-1984 #ReopenCalifornia
A coronavirus outbreak is growing in Skid Row. Are shelters safe?
Do you mean to tell me that all of you are just coming to these conclusions NOW??? It took you that long to figure it out? Why don’t you just go back to work and give it a rest. The LA City Council is going to do whatever it wants.
All you have to do is read about the trolleys in LA and how the General Motors (a leading bus maker as well as an automobile retailer), Firestone Tire and Rubber Company, Standard Oil of California (now Chevron), and Phillips Petroleum, destroyed an existing system in LA. How about this? When I first entered the San Fernando Valley in 1980, I remember coming down the 5 North Freeway. I could not believe what I was seeing. It was as if a 100 mile blanket of brown was laying on a region, not just a city. You all said, "Oh, We have always had traffic." Years later, when all of you became older and your doctor told that you had COPD and/or sleep apnea and you lived here in 1980s, did you tell your doctor about that?
And then there are the schools. In 2002, marked that time in history that one of the biggest fights erupted….The LA City Council vs. The San Fernando Valley. For what? To keep the politicians in power in the Kingdoms they had established and were not about to Abidicate. They were after, well let’s say it had nothing to do with educating children. Why do I say this? The LAUSD School Board praises itself…..Have you ever been to one of their Board meetings? It is a veritable Banquet for each of them as praise each other for the tremendous, self-sacrifing, concern. Here it is gentlement, the concern of the LAUSD School Board: 25% of the students drop out and another 25% graduate with a low "D" GPA…Are you kidding me or yourselves?….You knew the teachers passed them because of the pressure by the politicians….The ones you sat back and said nothing when they took over.
And the LA City Council, they always wore clothes with big pockets and they still do. I bet you thought just like the Germans before Hitler came to power when they whispered to each other, "Don’t worry, we’ll stop THEM." And they took over. Guess who is "THEM."
And the Homeless. Now there is a great example of Angelino Do-Gooder Activism. Oh, your wives and girlfriends went down to the Central Union Mission and gave small bottles of water to the Homeless as the Reporters??? Now that is not even questionable. They think they are comparative to the Washington Post and the New York Times. LOLLOLLOLLOL. Well, those "Reporters" took notes and had the photographers take pictures of their self-sacrificing gift to the Homeless. Their sacrifice? They missed one nail appointment. And the water, YOU got a tax deduction on $3.86 for the cost of a case of water.
In 1983, when there was an outbreak of TB in LA and I witnessed the poor Health Care Workers chasing after the Homeless in a 200 yard dash to give them a "little scrape." It was like WWII in the alleys. LOLLOLLOL And I said then, "Wait until there is an epidemic down here." And so it did happen. It as called COVID-19.
And the Do-gooder Socialites who had their picture in the LA Times, and the Ace Reporters…..well, they were never seen again. And the "HOME" of the 60,000 Homeless, now on literally on the street, look to the Central Union Mission, the place that preached Jesus and salvation and then threw the Homeless out on the street that they are now living. The Mission Do-Gooders took off probably with a suitcase of "gold." Why? These Do-gooders had managed to create the perfect place for COVID-19 to spread. That’s right. 200 beds cramed in a room on 2 floors. Now, let me think….Ummm….200 + 200 = 400. Yep, 400 men in a room with 1 television and "lights out" at 9:00 p.m. because Jesus wants it. That’s why he was crucified. And now that is in epidemic proportions down there, the Homeless keep asking…."Where are they?" "What happened?"
And now, that YOU and the Do-Gooders have created their world, unlike you, they believe in JUSTICE. PRARIEJUSTICE! ANDTHEYAREEXTRACTINGJUSTICERIGHTNOW! It is a world that has its own social class lines and structure. Those in Power down there have a language that is a combination of prison slang, Gullah English, rap, beat, Spanish, and death. And believe it, they do have POWER. THELAW OF THEHOMELESS: What’s mine is mine and what’s yours is mine. And they have absolutely no capacity to empathize.
I do not care what the Psychologists and Social Workers have to say. They have never lifted a finger. If they want to do something, they should go read, "Lord of the Flies." Then again, I doubt that Psychologists can read and the Social Workers….Well let’s just leave it at that. Their "profession" consists of memorizing a couple "buzz" phrases and asking the client if they feel depressed. Absolute, unmitigated, intellectual giants who practice "Bumper Stick Philosophy." Psychologists and Social Workers are a perfect example that the only thing more dangerous than ignorance is arrogance.
And now, after 60 years, you want to do something? Like What? Like writing an opinion right here? Yeah! Right! You Bet! This will definitely work!! Congratulations Gentlemen, YOU have made LA what it is today. All of you that have written before me….YOU…YOU….YOU…. WERERESPONSIBLEFORALL OF THISBECAUSEYOUSATBACKANDKEPTSILENTWHILE IT WASHAPPENING. SILENCEINFERSCONSENT. And so you did. And so it became. And so it will remain.
Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon with one legion only on January 10, 49 BCE. This history was not meant for you. It was meant for others, the others you have created. "Sic semper tyrannis."
New York rents remain high—for now—despite coronavirus pandemic
The financial prospects for New York City and New York State were grim long before coronavirus COVID-19 started spreading. New York State has lost population for many years and New York City has lost population for the past three years. Coronavirus will likely accelerate the population declines and create a massive revenue shortfall that will be close to $15 billion by some estimates. The MTA is already seeing a $4 billion revenue shortfall due to declines in public transportation use.
With a lower tax base, those who remain in New York City will be tasked with making up that revenue shortfall. I see higher taxes on the horizon to add to the massive tax burden that already is hammering the incomes of New Yorkers.
L train tunnel repairs completed ahead of schedule
Look at them, trying to build themselves a reputation for being ahead of time and under budget! Adorable.
Nonetheless it’s great news for L train riders. Pity it took so long to really enjoy some tangible results of Cuomo’s hubris-fueled management of the MTA.
What it’s like to be a real estate agent during the COVID-19 pandemic
I can see how many Realtors are taking steps of adapting in this market in a place like New York City where hospitals were overrun with patients. In Nevada most of our agents are happy they can still work, but they look like ER nurses going out into the field. Unfortunately, even with Realtor’s efforts we are seeing closings taking longer and people falling out of contract because of underwriting standards and job loss . Our showings are down some -53% from this time last year and withdrawn listings skyrocketed last week. What is interesting though is that prices remain stable. I’m wondering how long it will take before prices get hit in the Reno Real Estate Market Profile.
New York City sidewalks have failed us. Here’s how we can fix them.
I have long observed that people walking abreast in twos and threes (or more) almost always seem completely oblivious to the pedestrian traffic around them. It’s extremely rare for any individual in any such group to fall behind or step ahead of their group, or for the group to squeeze together more closely for a moment, to let other traffic pass.
