@stefanoscalia Pier 80 just hosted @PortolaFestival, a phenomenal location. Few noise restrictions. Large open level asphalt means easy set up and no dust. Waterfront brings in cool fresh air all day. Transportation is lacking and there are no water views. Aside from the crane and ship vibes.
@jonbrooks You don’t get it. I’ve owned my house for 5 years. Houses appreciate at least 5-10% per year. I’m owed at least a 25% value increase after 5 years. The new gray walls add so much value
@BigBearBummers At $2500/mo rent, the home would need to sell for less than $325k to be a better deal. At $700k w/20% DP at 7%, buyer pays $3300/mo in PURE INTEREST ALONE. Do people not understand math?
In college, I was taught that the Friday before Labor Day is when big corps, gov, and politicians dump unflattering, but required public disclosures, praying they get lost in the holiday shuffle. I wonder if that’s still true and if anything good was released today?
@mcmullenpropSF@scottbudman@Zumper You’re talking about different markets (apts and SFHs). SFHs around the bay are still hot and heating up. There hasn’t been a downturn for SFHs since the early days of COVID and AI is throwing gas on the fire.
@mcmullenpropSF@scottbudman@Zumper Berkeley has fallen because the university is building LOTS of housing. Go walk around Shattuck and University Ave and marvel at the completed and under construction buildings, of which there are many.
@financialsamura In Pacifica they banned surf schools that were flooding the waves with literally hundreds of beginners at a time. I can see why it's not a bad thing to control the over commercialization of public spaces.
@Richkhid132 When I was a kid growing up near LA in the 90s, I had many blue-collar family members living in cheap apts throughout LA. My aunt (a seamstress) paid $500 for a 2bd in WeHo. Same apt, 4500 today. I struggle to understand why the ~10x increase in rent???
@zcabrams Literally the story of every tech trend of the last 15 years. Remember when Airbnb's were an insanely good experience/value, dating apps before any loser with a cracked iPhone 4 got on them, or FB before it became a boomer paradise / ghost town.
@tomfgoodwin I was on a SFO-JFK redeye in business and everyone was trying to sleep. They kept the lights on so one dude could house a giant plate of airplane short rib and mash potatoes at 2:30am. Like bro, what is your plan for the rest of the day???
@Alexfeinberg What's your opinion of Alejandro Kirk. One of the shortest players and highest BMIs in all of MLB, but 2x All-Star and Silver Slugger and still a great player. I just saw Caese's the 1-hitter today.
Stop fighting. Maybe Lisa's right about America being the land of opportunity, and maybe Adil has a point about the machinery of capitalism being oiled by the blood of the workers.
