Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!

Over 1/2 a million dollar home!!!!! Seems about right. We don’t want to lower home prices though. People might lose a little wealth.

It is on a .52 acre lot. So it has that going for it.

Not all acres are created equal. If it's not worth that much money, it will not sell for that much money.

You know what?...that dwelling will be worth what it sells for, just like everything else.

I think someone just said that.

I’d buy that property like a corporate raider. Split it up to maximize value. Mobile home is removed and sold down the road. Property is split into minimum sized lots and sold at a premium.

I think someone just said that.

Was it sold for that price?

Unfortunately you’re right.

In a not to distant past, around here, a $500,000 home was a legacy property one could only dream of.

Now it’s a remodeled manufactured home.

I found this little tidbit to be interesting. Received this link from a "middle of the road democrat" (his term) friend of mine since I don't do the social media thing, other than HT on occasion. Some will dismiss it as being cherry picking. Perhaps it is, I haven't seen the whole episode and don't know who the X poster is. Others will see its as a microcosm of what is wrong in the political discourse in the US; gross ignorance and/or elitist and condescending attitudes. All depends on the tribe you identify with. I may have misinterpreted, but your comment reminded me of this clip and the aforementioned attitude.

Assuming the abilities of someone because of their skin color is a shitty move, certainly ignorant and elitist, stereotyping at best and racist at worst. I think it goes without saying that it is a pretty ludicrous statement to say that Black people don't know how to use the internet.

To clear up a few things, I don't have a tribe, and when I made my comment, I specifically had women voters in mind, like my wife. I intended my comment to reference opposition to the SAVE Act from women voters, I should not have quoted the part about Jim Crow 2.0 which I left for broader context. So I'll give you the misinterpretation. To prevent further misinterpretation, with very few exceptions, I am not in the business of speaking for others.

It took my wife just under a year to receive the necessary documents to update her name on a passport renewal. This isn't because she is lazy or not willing to put in the effort, it was because it took the local government 10 months to mail the certified copy she paid for and had requested months prior. Having lived on a tight budget in prior days, I have additional concerns with the costs incurred for getting these documents or applying for a passport for the many Americans currently struggling to make ends meet.

You can see my previous comments in the thread around here: https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/relax-everything-is-going-to-be-okay.328164/post-4022523

Happy to clear up any other misinterpretations!

My point was, nothing has a true value until it actually sells. Asking price doesnt mean diddly....unfortunately that's the Montana trend right now.
This case in point^ is a hilarious example.
But some chump might buy it.

Wait are you guys suggesting that $3,180 monthly mortgage for a manufactured home isn't a good deal?

My apologies if that’s your listing. Wasn’t trying lowball your future fortune!

I get what you were saying. And unfortunately around here chumps have been buying chit like this. Hence the reason they’re being listed stupidly high.

Things are cooling a bit and I suspect this will be on the market a LONG time.

Hope so.
Market needs to correct.

Fair enough. But using the logistical problems your wife encountered as a basis for an opinion that voter ID will "disenfranchise millions of american" (sic) is more than a bit of a stretch. If millions of americans can't get a voter ID because local (or state or federal) government is that inept/irresponsible with respect to processing paperwork requests, then we have a far bigger problem than voter ID. And to be sure, the processing delays your wife experienced can easily be experienced by a man (and not just middle class white dudes) looking to get an official birth certificate or other similar government issued document. So not sure why only women voters would be more impacted than 'men' voters.

I recently took both of my parents in to get RealIDs in Arizona. It took one hour and $25 each to get just an AZ state-issued ID that fully meets any Voter ID requirement that has been proposed. AZ may be cheap compared to other states so this may be a unique, one-off, case but I find it to be a hollow argument that cost of an ID is prohibitive and disenfranchising in nature. YMMV.

 

[Wildabeest]

then we have a far bigger problem than voter ID.

We do. I wish they would focus on them.
