Brattleboro vibes…

American chestnut in Monterey, MA. I love seeing these, even if they keep getting knocked back by the chestnut blight. Although the trees got wiped out over 100 years ago now, some of their roots remain and still produce basal sprouts. Talk about tenacity!

Ghostbusters 2! I was 7 when my parents took me to the movie theater to see it and must've had nightmares for 2 weeks afterwards...

[Wayne DuPree @RealWayneDupree]

What movie scared the crap out of you as a kid?

[Mitch @VermonsterWx]

No surprises here for me. https://t.co/qTXB5szoel

@theiaincameron I saw this earlier Iain, the scale of what happened is terrifying.

This isn't good and extends beyond just FL or AZ. The other issue us than younger generations often cannot afford houses at their current prices. I'm glad my older Boomer parents sold and got out of the market when they still could get a decent price for their homes.

[Nick Gerli @nickgerli1]

A major housing headwind is about to hit.

And that's the Baby Boomer exodus from the U.S. Housing Market.

In the next decade, the share of U.S. population above 75 will skyrocket.

Meaning Baby Boomer owners who fueled the housing market over the last 20 years will turn into sellers they age out.

And Gen X, the next generation in line to buy up those homes, won't be able to absorb it. As they are 20% smaller in population than the Baby Boomers.

The result is that by 2037, there will be more 75+ aged Americans than 55-64 aged Americans. Which will be a first in modern U.S. History.

This will lead to lower homebuyer demand, more supply, and lower prices in retirement destinations.

Especially across Florida and Arizona.

@kwilesjrphoto @GilletteStadium That's American capitalism for you...

[Mitch @VermonsterWx]

@SecDuffy @USDOT Sure, let's cause more global warming, piss off your neighbors at 5 AM, and spend $150-200 to fill the damn thing up. These damn "Trumpmobiles" need to go...

@NYCMayor @joncoopertweets Only 40 years. Something is better than nothing but ideally this road be sunk like I-93 in Boston was.

@ClownWorld Doesn't our Constitution allow Freedom of Religion? These people are doing absolutely nothing wrong...

Right wing Nationalism SUCKS!

America needs leadership that prioritizes the world more than itself. Globalism and not isolationism...

Seen on today’s Front Porch Forum: a 60 year old dump truck for sale in Halifax, VT. Why would anyone want a 60 year old truck? An antique maybe? 🤔

[Mitch @VermonsterWx]

What!? There's a house just like this for sale in Readsboro, VT for $209K. Nobody wants to live in VT anymore...

[Jonathan Berk @berkie1]

The “starter home” has been regulated out of existence in Massachusetts.

This 1,600sf, 3-bed, 1.5-bath home in Wakefield just sold for $1 million, $125K over asking, receiving 15 offers after just 6 days on the market.

This is what housing scarcity looks like.

@BrkGriff @jmelmed23 That winter was weird. It was more like a super charged La Niña with nonstop cutters than an El Niño. It was a one storm winter and it whiffed us to the south. A lot depends on other teleconnections and a bit of luck.

[Mitch @VermonsterWx]

@WhiteHouse @POTUS No it isn’t. Donald J. Trump is.
