I lived in Manhattan right after college, spent 7+ years there and had an absolute run. And this is coming from a born-and-raised San Diegan. NYC has everything: beautiful women, world-class food, the arts, and that nonstop energy that makes you feel like you’re in the middle of something important at all times.

NYC in your 20s? Elite. In your 30s? Still elite… if you’re pulling seven figures, if not, youre probably settling in the burbs of NJ.

But if you’re thinking long game: space, sanity, raising a family, SD wins, and it’s not particularly close.

Pretty much. Living in the Covenant of RSF makes it clear North County is playing a different game / 72° and perfect year-round, the ocean ten minutes away, top schools, world-class golf, and people who somehow manage to be wealthy, fit, and still friendlier than most Angelenos.

Sure, it costs a fortune to live here… but the lifestyle and lack of nonsense almost make it feel underpriced.

@GenZMultifamily Agreed - are you now using in-house accounting, maintenance, and leasing?

@0xErod @TodayInSportsCo Yeah, the corporate narrative that included 6 rings, 6 Finals MVPs, 10 scoring titles, and a Defensive Player of the Year. Must’ve been one hell of a marketing team.

@yoryiRD19 @TodayInSportsCo This 90-second highlight reel shows more defense than an entire game in the 2025 NBA playoffs.

@Ceo_Branding if MJ didn’t walk away after ‘98, he’s adding two more titles to his perfect Finals record. No Game 7s. No excuses. Just dominance. LeBron’s longevity is impressive, but in an era with undetectable PEDs and carefully managed minutes, the playing field is not the same.

Tell me you don’t understand the market, the economy, finance or supply/ demand fundamentals without telling me you don’t understand these things.

$5 per SF per year tax proposed on commercial spaces that are vacant for longer than six months.

Let that sink in….instead of addressing the root causes of vacancy we’re going to penalize landlords for not having a tenant.

Of all the misguided legislation we’ve seen, this must be near the top of the list.

Vacancy is a symptom, not a choice.

When your DSCR doesn't hit the bank’s threshold (usually a ~1.25x DSCR), most people think banks don't give you any option but to lower the LTV

But in reality, if you negotiate, you have 3 options:

Weinberg, this is a smarter play than the alternative—endless money printing. You know exactly what Trump is doing: bringing down yields to make debt repayment more manageable. By lowering borrowing costs, he is trying to stabilize the financial system while avoiding the long-term damage caused by too much easy money.

Yes, a recession is probably coming, but that is part of the correction. It will slow consumer inflation, and eventually, the Fed will have no choice but to cut rates. The short-term pain will be real, but in the long run, it sets the stage for a healthier, more sustainable economy.

Been thinking about this a lot lately—when our parents bought homes and commercial properties in the ’80s and ’90s, who were they really competing with? A few locals? Maybe some mom-and-pop investors? Fast forward to today, and buyers are up against global investors, institutional players, and tech-driven bidding wars.

It was way easier back then. Loans were more accessible—banks looked at your handshake as much as your finances (FICO scores did not even exist until 1989). Wages kept up with home prices. Immigration surged in the ’90s, increasing demand, but our parents had already locked in their low-cost properties. And let’s not forget—competition was just softer.

So next time an elder says, “You kids have it easy. Just work harder,” remind them that they were playing on beginner mode.

my dad sat me down once and said:

“There are only two jobs in the world: building or selling. If you’re not doing one of those, you’re just an expense.”

still think about this.

@sweatystartup Nicky,

Good for him, but you need to get out more—$2MM barely gets you raw land in SoCal’s affluent neighborhoods!

Ah yes, the classic “today’s NBA is more elite” take—straight from the low basketball IQ handbook. Let me fix that for you.

What you conveniently left out are all the rule changes over the last 25 years that have made the game softer, faster, and easier for scorers:
•Defensive 3 seconds? Introduced to keep big men from clogging the paint.
•Hand-checking? Removed so perimeter players could dance their way to 30 points.
•Game speed? Artificially juiced with fewer timeouts and a 14-second shot clock reset on offensive rebounds.

So no, today’s players are not dominating because they are so much more athletic—they are playing on easy mode.

The real tragedy? The art of basketball is dead. It has been replaced by:
•A glorified 3-point contest.
•Defense so bad it might as well be optional.
•“Load management” softies who sit out games like they are made of porcelain.

And sure, international viewership is booming—because the NBA has cut massive global TV deals. But you conveniently ignored how viewership in the U.S. is circling the drain. Maybe fans are sick of watching a no-contact, no-defense highlight reel with no real grit.
