@texasrunnerDFW I swear by the nyt rent vs own calculator. Been there for many years. Always use same inflation rate for housing, rent, and expenses when using it
@MarkHalperin@brianstelter@MarkHalperin while it may be true his firms did not benefit from the conflict of interest policy and regulation. people need to have confidence that there is no conflict of interest. His business interests don’t pass the sniff test and he should divest one side or other
@texasrunnerDFW@Fire5280 People diss it but the NYT rest vs buy calculator is timeless. Bottom line is for markets with lots of available land buying should be close or cheaper on a. Five year basis. Areas with little land it’s usually much more to buy vs rent.
@jameslavish Your weekend post on Substack was a treatise. Way above my ability to absorb it all at once b it a definite keeper to be revisited again and again
@Rory_Johnston Take star ferry across harbor not subway. It’s fab and gives you a much better feel for the place. If you like nightlife there are multiple cabaret places that can be pretty fun. If you want some exercise walk up Victoria peak and do a loop around the top while enjoying views
@Cas_Observer22@texasrunnerDFW The home is priced at about 150sf. I don’t know new construction costs well but I am confident no one is building new for that price. 250k sell price would be 80sf. No way that’s happening w/o economic crises.
@texasrunnerDFW Seems completely reasonable 3365/mo payment for a family home. No it isnt the latest and greatest kitchen and baths but they are completely acceptable
@adamtaggart You chose to ignore it when I rebutted what you said. You said she “encouraged” it. I quoted her first speech as czar where she implored them to”do not come”. How is that encouraging them? Facts matter
@Ebatez_@AstroPcfliu Dude its not that unqiue. Trade in 2 old phones for 18 pros at tmobile costco. Go5g+ 55 plan. 100 bucks a minth for both of you. Phone credits pay for all of each phone less 400 bucks ea. finance is only 24 months. 24 month total per line 1600. Or about 66 plpm . 2 yr cmt
@adamtaggart@GJTheFrench She did not encourage them. Fact. “On June 7, 2021, during her first official foreign trip as vice president to Guatemala, Kamala Harris Tells Migrants 'Do Not Come' delivered a blunt warning to prospective migrants thinking about traveling to the U.S. southern border”
