The Vast Majority Of The Carnage Has Not Really Started Yet

A report from Reuters on New York. “Clarence Hamer doesn’t expect to hang on to his house much longer. His downstairs tenant owes him nearly $50,000 in back rent on the four-bedroom duplex he owns in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Without those rental payments, Hamer has been unable to pay the thousands he owes in heat, hot water and property taxes. In September, after exhausting his life savings, he stopped paying the mortgage, too. ‘All I have is my home, and it seems apparent that I’m going to lose it,’ said Hamer, a 46-year-old landlord who works for the city of New York. ‘They are going to foreclose. It’s only going to be a matter of time. And rightfully so, I can’t blame them. Apparently we are all in this together—unless you are a landlord.'”

From Patch New York. “Two Brooklyn neighborhoods had some of the highest home price drops of anywhere in New York City last month, according to a new report. An address in Park Slope took the top spot for the home with the highest percentage drop in price. The 44 Prospect Park West home dropped $300,000 and now is on the market for just under $650,000, according to the study.”

From Housing Finance. “In the latest National Multifamily Housing Council’s Rent Payment Tracker, which draws on collection data for 11.5 million professionally managed apartment units, 75.4% of apartment households made a full or partial rent payment by Dec. 6. This is a 7.8 percentage point drop from the share who paid rent through Dec. 6, 2019, equivalent to 894,864 households, and compares with 80.4% of renters who paid rent by Nov. 6, 2020.”

“‘It should not come as a surprise that a rising number of households are struggling to make ends meet,’ says Doug Bibby, NMHC president. ‘As the nation enters a winter with increasing COVID-19 case levels and even greater economic distress—as indicated by last week’s disquieting employment report—it is only a matter of time before both renters and housing providers reach the end of their resources.'”

From Arlington Now in Virginia. “Question: Have you seen a decrease in condo values with all the inventory currently on the market? Answer: One point I’d like to make prior to sharing the data findings is that the data is based on condos that have sold/closed, and there are many condos still sitting on the market or under contract that won’t show up in this analysis. The market has also worsened (for sellers) each month since July, so properties that went under contract in July/August likely did better than those later on in the year. Therefore, it’s likely that, as the units close that are currently struggling to sell or just now coming to market, the data will get worse (larger decrease in values).”

The Herald Tribune in Florida. “About 5.5% of Sarasota-Manatee mortgage loan borrowers are 30 or more days delinquent on their mortgages, according to CoreLogic. ‘Borrowers who fell behind on their mortgages early this year continue to move through the delinquency funnel,’ CoreLogic said.”

“In September, every state logged an annual increase in overall delinquency rates. For months, popular tourism destinations showed the highest increases, with Nevada (up 4.9 percentage points), Hawaii (up 4.7 percentage points) and Florida (up 4 percentage points) again topping the list for gains in September. Similarly, nearly all U.S. metro areas logged an increase in overall delinquency rates in September.”

From Seattle PI in Washington. “November’s Seattle condo market results were quite respectable. By area of the city, all neighborhoods with the exception of West Seattle realized increased median sales prices and most by double digits. West Seattle dipped 9.1% last month. Inventory remained abundant as was noted with a 60.8% year-over-year increase in available units that reflected 799 Seattle condos listed for sale in November. Capitol Hill had nearly doubled its number of condo listings compared to a year ago (+98.9%), with downtown/Belltown and Queen Anne trailing at +69.4% and 67.1%, respectively.”

From Chicago Magazine in Illinois. “Black Friday and Cyber Monday have come and gone, and now, home-sellers and developers are cutting their prices too. This Mount Greenwood optical illusion just took a $15,000 price cut, bringing it down to $399,900 worth of cantilevered goodness. (It’s not a huge price cut, but how could I not include this? In exchange, here’s a $485,000 bungalow in the West Town/Smith Park area that’s down $44,000. Oscar Mayer built this golf-course estate for his son in 1967. With a $250,000 price cut, all six beds, nine baths, and 7,500 square feet can be yours for $1.35 million.”

From Bisnow California. “Tens of millions of Californians are under new stay-at-home orders lasting into the new year as the coronavirus health crisis worsens. For many in commercial real estate, these shutdowns, while anticipated, will still hit hard. ‘It’s just adding more dire consequences on top of preexisting ones since March,’ said Donald Wise, senior managing director of commercial real estate investment banking firm Turnbull Capital Group.”

“During the pandemic, Wise’s Turnbull Capital Group has zeroed in on providing preferred equity to distressed hotel and resort owners. Wise says requests from hotel and resort owners have increased exponentially each week, and he said he expects to be increasingly busy, as the new shutdowns are set to overlap with many forbearances timing out.”

“Property taxes are also coming due for many properties, and many owners are so lacking in liquidity they may not even be able to pay their transient occupancy taxes. For hotels, ‘the vast majority of the carnage has not really started yet,’ Wise said.”

The Wall Street Journal on California. “In the summer of 2018, two newly built, enormous mansions sitting next to each other in a swanky Bel-Air neighborhood represented the peak of Los Angeles’s high-end building boom: One house sought $188 million, the other $180 million. More recently, the neighboring spec mansions have become known for something else: steep price cuts. Last year, the $188 million home sold for just $94 million. And now the $180 million home, built by celebrity plastic surgeon Raj Kanodia, is slashing its asking price to $99 million.”

The Houston Chronicle in Texas. “Houston has its fair share of luxury home foreclosures. And another one just hit the market in Sugar Land. The waterfront Mediterranean-style estate in the Lake Pointe subdivision spans more than 3,700 square feet. It’s listed at $800,000, down from $929,000. The home at 15402 Oyster Creek Lane in Sugar Land is under foreclosure. The property has been on the market since 2019 and recently saw a price reduction of 14 percent.”

From RE/MAX Canada. “Toronto real estate could be in for a change in 2022, if a proposed vacant home tax gets the green light. RE/MAX Executive Christopher Alexander highlights the possible negative impacts of such a tax, which he says ‘could deter buyers and further deepen the glut of condos on the market. Furthermore, many of these buyers are hard-working Canadians who purchase a single condo unit as a savings and investment vehicle, to fund things like their children’s education.'”

The Hong Kong Standard. “The owner of a 3,860-sq-ft house at Botanica Bay on Lantau Island lost HK$8.4 million in book value after it was sold for HK$100 million. The saleable area was 4,711 sq ft and the price was HK$ 21,227 per sq ft. The owner had purchased the independent house for HK$107.4 million in 2016 and paid HK$1 million more for the parking space. And a 255-square-foot home at Amoy Garden in Kowloon Bay was sold for HK$4.7 million after a price cut of HK$500,000.”

The Wall Street Journal. “China’s household debt ballooned in the first half of the year, rising by about $380 billion, according to new Bank for International Settlements data. That increase was almost four times as large as the second-place U.S. And it compounds one of China’s biggest economic vulnerabilities. The reluctance to cut rates reflects the government’s concerns about previous rounds of let-it-rip credit growth, which have left the housing market displaying telltale signs of rampant speculation.”

“Units that could house hundreds of millions of people, equivalent to about a fifth of the urban housing stock, are estimated to be vacant.”

The New Zealand Herald. “The University of Auckland has had to offload a boutique Remuera mansion at a massive discount after buying a leaky home for its former vice-chancellor. That meant the university only profited on the rise in land value but made virtually no capital gains on the home itself despite owning it for 16 years through multiple Auckland housing booms.”

From Newsroom. “The developers who caused an environmental disaster on an idyllic Fijian island are now being pursued by investors, with some fearing the barely begun development is part of an elaborate scam. About 200 investors are out of pocket after the Fijian government stopped the planned 370-bure resort and casino on Malolo Island – which would have been Fiji’s largest – from going ahead, after Newsroom revealed the Chinese backed developers had caused serious environmental damage. The project was described at the time as ‘environmental vandalism.'”

“Two groups of investors who paid over at least $35 million now want their money back with the Malolo resort bogged down in legal cases and appearing to have little or no chance of ever being completed. Now, two groups of these investors, one based in Beijing and another in the US, are set to launch separate class action lawsuits against the companies involved after paying up-front for units and never seeing their money again.”

“The two groups represent unit-holders based in Beijing, and similar individual investors in the US. Both have engaged lawyers with the intention of filing class action suits, the former specifically against the multiple, franchised agencies employed by Freesoul to sell the units to investors in Beijing.Peter Liu, whose parents paid approximately $200,000 up front for one of the bures in 2018, says none of the investors have seen their cash again, and they have nothing to show for it.”

“He spoke privately to the investors who set the chat up, who told him they believed it was likely the project was a ‘scam’ and the money collected by the agents on behalf of the developments had never left the country.”

        1. ‘President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he and/or members of his legal team would join, as intervenors, the lawsuit brought by Texas’ Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton to the U.S. Supreme Court against four battleground states.’

          ‘In the lawsuit, Texas is alleging that Pennsylvania, Georgia, Michigan, and Wisconsin introduced last-minute unconstitutional changes to election laws, treated voters unequally, and triggered significant voting irregularities by relaxing ballot-integrity measures. The lawsuit is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to declare that the four battleground states conducted the 2020 election in violation of the Constitution.’

          ‘The suit, filed on Dec. 7 and docketed the next day, is also seeking to prohibit the count of the Electoral College votes cast by the four states. For the defendant states that have already appointed electors, it asks the court to direct the state legislatures to appoint new electors in line with the Constitution.’

          ‘Trump’s remarks about joining the suit as an intervenor came after several states expressed their support for the lawsuit. Attorneys general for Arkansas, Alabama, Missouri, and Louisiana have issued statements in support of Paxton’s motion.’

          “The states violated statutes enacted by their duly elected legislatures, thereby violating the Constitution. By ignoring both state and federal law, these states have not only tainted the integrity of their own citizens’ vote, but of Texas and every other state that held lawful elections,” Paxton said in a statement.’

          1. “It was admitted by Smartmatic that the results can be manipulated,” Díaz told The Epoch Times. “Smartmatic later came out of Venezuela, but it’s been proven that this type of fraud goes wherever they go. What’s happening in the United States is exactly the same thing. The program can make those changes from Trump to Biden,” she said, adding that “this change is almost impossible to detect.”

            ‘Many American poll watchers and challengers have submitted sworn affidavits saying they couldn’t see the actual ballots being counted, due to obstruction. She said in Venezuela, “observers were also not allowed to see the votes.”

            “In Venezuela, the opposition was winning, the light went off, and when it came back, the results were flipped. I was following the U.S. election and there came a moment where information stopped … nobody knew what had happened,” she said. “There was nothing for a few hours—it’s exactly, exactly, exactly how Smartmatic operated in Venezuela.”

            ‘A number of Venezuelan individuals who worked for Sequoia also allegedly worked for Smartmatic and Dominion and had become contractors for each of the companies.

            “They are moving around in there,” an intelligence source knowledgeable on Venezuela and its alleged criminal activities told The Epoch Times.

            “Smartmatic machines allowed them to mirror the system, they can see live how much they were losing by,” the source asserted. “They tell you you would need to produce 30,000 votes and it has the ability to switch votes. Then, you balance it on your own.”

            ‘There have also been numerous issues with Sequoia’s voting software reported by a number of news outlets over the years. One of the problems took place in October 2006, when Sequoia, then a Denver voting machine contractor, had to send letters to 44,000 voters warning of a mistake on absentee ballots after they found the “yes” and “no” boxes on a ballot question were transposed.’

            ‘Staple Street Capital, a private equity firm located in New York, purchased Dominion in 2018, according to a press release. The securities firm that arranged the transaction, UBS Securities LLC, is a division of UBS Americas Inc., which ultimately falls under UBS Group AG, a company listed on the SIX Swiss stock exchange.’

            ‘Three out of four board members of UBS Securities LLC are Chinese, at least one of whom appears to reside in Hong Kong, according to Bloomberg. UBS says it was one of the “first international banks to have a local presence” in China in the 1990s. In 2012, it formed the current company, UBS Securities Co. Ltd., which it says is the “first foreign-invested fully-licensed securities firm in China.”

            ‘The Epoch Times visited Dominion offices in Denver and Toronto, which both appeared to be abandoned; the news outlet was denied entry to Smartmatic’s office in Florida.’

          2. US Attorney’s Office in Delaware Is Investigating Hunter Biden’s Taxes

            ‘On Nov. 18, Sens. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa) and Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.) released more details about Hunter Biden’s overseas business deals, along with alleged links to foreign individuals who have ties to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and the Russian government.

            “Some of the additional findings from their investigation include millions of dollars sent from a Shanghai-based company with links to CEFC, which was effectively an extension of the communist Chinese government, to a close business associate of Hunter Biden,” they said. CEFC is a firm founded by billionaire Ye Jianming, who is believed to have ties with the CCP.’

            ‘Grassley and Johnson in mid-November, citing text messages, that Hunter Biden spoke with Chinese billionaire Ye Jianming on a “regular basis” and have a “standing once a week call.” As noted by a report from the South China Morning Post, Ye went “missing” in China several years ago under unclear circumstances.’

    1. Another urine soaked mattress narrative.

      Politico — How Oath Keepers Are Quietly Infiltrating Local Government (12/09/20):

      “Depending on whom you ask, Oath Keepers is either “the last line of defense against tyranny” or an extremist militia. They describe themselves as a nonpartisan association of tens of thousands of current and former military, police and first responders who pledge to defend the Constitution and refuse to obey orders they consider unconstitutional. The Southern Poverty Law Center on the other hand lists Oath Keepers as “one of the largest radical antigovernment groups in the U.S. today” and has kept tabs on incidents involving members that may betray the idea that the group is just about defending the Constitution.”

      https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2020/12/09/oath-keepers-far-right-group-infiltrate-local-government-texas-443773

      Did you know that the Southern Poverty Law Center is a criminal cartel of domestic terrorists?

      1. Infiltrate local government? How? Local government, outside of the nasty, dirty, back breaking jobs that only men will do, is almost entirely staffed by leftist women.

        1. Infiltrate = any resistance to globalist pigmen.

          About the only nice thing I can say about the SPLC is that they’ve given me a Who’s Who list of people to follow on Parler.

    2. The president’s baseless claims of voting fraud

      This is a fraudulent statement, and it’s not even news, it’s opinion.

      1. The clinical term for involuntarily sh*tting the bed is “Encopresis”

        New York Times — Why Do So Many Americans Think the Election Was Stolen? (12/05/20):

        “speaking as a cynical observer of the Trump era, one feature of November did crack my jaded shell a bit: not his behavior or the system’s response, but the sheer scale of the belief among conservatives that the election was really stolen, measured not just in polling data but in conversations and arguments, online and in person, with people I would not have expected to embrace it.

        The potency of this belief has already scrambled some of the conventional explanations for conspiratorial beliefs, particularly the conceit that the key problem is misinformation spreading downward from partisan news outlets and social-media fraudsters to the easily deceived.”

        https://archive.is/wu14h

        1. not just in polling data but in conversations and arguments, online and in person, with people I would not have expected to embrace it.

          Almost 20% of Biden voters believe the election was rigged in Biden’s favor. Put that in your pipe and smoke it, sh!tbag.

          1. Do you have a link for that? I’m guessing those are the moderate Dems I’ve been wondering about. And I bet that 20% is underestimated.

        2. ‘YouTube will allow you to criticize the government’s handling of coronavirus, but if you criticize the government’s handling of the election your video will now be taken down.’

          This comment sums it up well:

          ‘Well you see if you ignore statistical anomalies, mathematical improbabilities, 1000s of witnesses and the incredibly insecure counting machines then you will see that there was NO FRAUD.’

          If you can use yer eyes, look at a chart, read a bit, you know there was massive fraud. This globalist scum censorship is kind of another clue. What are you afraid of google dogs? Can’t stand the light of day?

          Here’s a question: when did we ever have election counts stop, in 6 swing states, at the same time? Only to resume in the wee hours of the morning. Guvnah Ducey, I hope you swing for yer treachery.

          1. ‘waffling waffle beanie boy Tim Pool’

            I’m not impressed with his videos. 20+ minutes of waffle is what you get.

          2. ‘A U.S. Postal Service whistleblower said Tuesday he was interviewed by federal agents, describing the process as an interrogation. Jesse Morgan, a truck driver for a postal service subcontractor, said FBI agents and officials with one of the U.S. Postal Service’s law enforcement arms met with him to go over his allegations.’

            “I understand they’re doing their job. But, so, I give them what I saw what happened to me, what I had done, and what they want to do is instead of it’s like instead of focusing on the picture, they want to focus over here and try to figure out how I came on TV. It’s really sad to be honest,” Morgan said.’

            ‘Morgan alleges he drove a truck filled with up to 288,000 ballots on Oct. 21. He said the trailer, and the ballots, vanished from a U.S. Postal Service (USPS) depot after he dropped them off there. The FBI hasn’t responded to a request for comment, nor has the USPS. A spokesman for the USPS Office of Inspector General, one of the service’s law enforcement arms, declined to comment.’

            ‘During the interview, Morgan said, one of the agents was “mixing up my words or didn’t understand what I was saying.” “I speak pretty clear. I mean, you saw, obviously, probably, the press conference that day, and I didn’t tell him anything different than what I told everyone that day. But for some reason, it was hard to comprehend that,” Morgan said.’

            “I give this information, and then what they want to do with it, instead of investigating the information I gave, is go and start harassing my family, start asking questions of my family, how did I get here, or whatever. I just thought it was quite interesting, where this gentleman’s investigation took him.” He said he did not feel like the authorities had any interest in probing into what actually happened with the trucks and ballots.’

            “I gave the FBI information about my trailer full of ballots and then what they want to do with it is INSTEAD of investigating the information is to go and start harassing my family!” he wrote on Twitter.’

            ‘Morgan’s situation came a few weeks after a different whistleblower in Pennsylvania, USPS letter carrier Richard Hopkins, challenged reports that he recanted his fraud claims following an interview with USPS law enforcement agents. Hopkins also released recordings of the interview. Mark Ruskin, a 27-year veteran of the FBI and former assistant district attorney in Brooklyn, New York, told The Epoch Times that the way Hopkins was questioned showed the agency was trying “to do damage control.”

            “From beginning to end, it’s pretty shocking behavior,” Ruskin said.’

          3. But facts are facts, and boy will they be mad when their media didn’t give them a heads up, like when the witch lost; they didn’t see it coming ( I think Michael Moore was the only one saying look out.)

          4. YouTube has shadow banned Styxhexenhammer. You can view his videos on Bitchute here:

            Being banned by YouTube or kicked off Twitter is now a badge of honor that adds credibility for those speaking truth to power.

          5. their media didn’t give them a heads up

            They were angry when the bogus pre-election polls didn’t come true.

          6. “I gave the FBI information about my trailer full of ballots and then what they want to do with it is INSTEAD of investigating the information is to go and start harassing my family!” he wrote on Twitter.’

            The FBI has dropped all pretense of being an impartial, professional law enforcement agency, are are now openly serving as Chekists for the Democrat-CCP-Globalist Oligarch Axis of Evil. Check out the 1992 Russian film “The Chekist” on Youtube before it gets banned.

          7. The FBI has dropped all pretense of being an impartial, professional law enforcement agency Many of us had already stopped thinking of the FBI as a legitimate government agency years ago. Now the FBI has stopped pretending to us and itself about that.

          8. “Many of us had already stopped thinking of the FBI as a legitimate government agency years ago”

            Elected county sheriffs are the only legitimate law enforcement left in this country, as they are local, and are beholden to their constituents.

            NOTE: lots of RINO badge lickers still support asset forfeiture at traffic stops, so they can buy big screen TeeVees for their comfy little fortresses of stolen assets.

            Rand Paul is the only pol with a mic and an audience I can think of who has spoken out against this.

        3. Normal person: 70 million people think something; I should look into it.
          Flamin’ lib: 70 million people think something; I must break down how ALL of them are insane.

  7. ‘Property taxes are also coming due for many properties, and many owners are so lacking in liquidity they may not even be able to pay their transient occupancy taxes. For hotels, ‘the vast majority of the carnage has not really started yet’

    California will be completely broke shortly. But are you safe?

    1. Joe Rogan talked about leaving California last spring during the first CCP Flu lockdowns. So he did, and moved to Texas.

      Elon Musk just left California and moved to Texas.

      California has more poverty, more people on welfare, and more illegals than any other state in the country.

      1. And to think that 50+ years ago it was considered Heaven on Earth. Lots of good paying jobs, cheap homes, reasonable cost of living, plus the whole California lifestyle (sun, beach, no snow, Disneyland, etc.), especially in SoCal.

        Now it’s Hell on Earth.

          1. If it was just the blackouts, it wouldn’t be a big deal.. But it’s everything else that adds up.

            I know a very lib couple that moved from Denver to California. They didn’t last more than 2 years before they came back. They admitted that the place was a sh!thole, even when compared with Denver.

            I suppose that if you’re rich and can afford to live in an upper class enclave it must still seem awesome, provided you can avoid the rush hour traffic.

          2. Actually I was pretty pissed my power was off for 2 days because of wind, its always windy here this time of year but now its a big deal . Colorado’s right its not just one thing but everything adds up. Got a job and live in a OK nabe but feel under siege . Many people I work with are putting 50K in solar and Tesla batteries on their homes. I’m more inclined to bail than fortress up.

          3. but feel under siege

            I was starting to feel that way in 1995, when we left. Every time we go back to visit it just seems worse.

          4. Wall Street now wants to commoditize your water!

            Some believe that Mark Twain said the following: Whiskey is for drinking, water is for fighting.

            My little burg purchased the old HP campus in 2011, not for the land but for the water rights it had. Water rights values are rising, and I’m sure more than a few farmers who own water rights will be sorely tempted to sell them.

            In places where water is plentiful, I doubt anyone will be speculating with water rights.

          5. commoditize your water

            It’s just chips at the gambling table. They won’t need to actually have water to deliver or a place to put it. Like those Lumber futures that have no relationship to the real lumber market. If you can speculate in Bitcoin, where there is no reality to have a relationship with, anything goes.

        1. Yeah, and Tesla’s stock price and market capitalization are a big fat bubble of “investors” chasing a narrative.

          We charged $3,000 to install a single 240 volt 50 amp receptacle for a Tesla in the garage of a condo building downtown. If people who like charging their Teslas with electricity generated from coal fired power plants want to give me their money, I will take their money.

          1. “more than a marina”

            I’ve worked at a marina and can only say that underwater wire pulls SUCK. The spool we were pulling from to bring in main power from the shore weighed 3,800 pounds.

          2. “a pretty involved installation”

            Less than a hundred feet of EMT, most of which piggybacked on existing supports, dropping from 1″ to 3/4″ at the J-box where the conductors were upsized to account for voltage drop.

            This is an older building, with a janky @ss panel, just getting the breaker for it (shipped in, not in Denver Breaker’s stock) was over $200. Penetrating the interior wall of the garage was the most effort really involved.

        2. Dude’s a grifter.

          His rockets are the best, and he did recently humiliate Boeing with his Dragon capsule. I still think that colonizing Mars is a pipe dream, though.

    2. California will be completely broke shortly. But are you safe?

      This is why that vile, wretched old hag Pelosi is trying to tie stimulus to state bailout funds. She wants you and I, the taxpayer, to foot the bill for her state’s reckless economic destruction.

  8. “‘It should not come as a surprise that a rising number of households are struggling to make ends meet,’ says Doug Bibby, NMHC president. ‘As the nation enters a winter with increasing COVID-19 case levels and even greater economic distress—as indicated by last week’s disquieting employment report—it is only a matter of time before both renters and housing providers reach the end of their resources.’”

    Meanwhile, the Fed’s stimulus-juiced Ponzi markets are hitting all-time highs. One of these things is not like the other.

  9. That was awful nice of him to go bankrupt subsidizing his deadbeat tenants.

    “Without those rental payments, Hamer has been unable to pay the thousands he owes in heat, hot water and property taxes. In September, after exhausting his life savings, he stopped paying the mortgage, too.”

  10. Funny how there is no “we are all in this together” tax jubilee…

    Public union pensions will be paid.

    “Property taxes are also coming due for many properties, and many owners are so lacking in liquidity they may not even be able to pay their transient occupancy taxes.”

  11. Wise says requests from hotel and resort owners have increased exponentially each week, and he said he expects to be increasingly busy, as the new shutdowns are set to overlap with many forbearances timing out.”

    Gosh, I wasn’t an Economics major like AOC, but this sounds like impending Doomsday for the hospitality industry and their lenders.

  12. Last year, the $188 million home sold for just $94 million. And now the $180 million home, built by celebrity plastic surgeon Raj Kanodia, is slashing its asking price to $99 million.”

    Ben, HBB brethren & sistren, I propose a moment of silence at noon EST in remembrance of all those dear departed Yellen Bux.

    1. I got news for them. If it sells for less than $180 Mil then it’s no longer a $180 Mil home. Last look it was a $99 Mil home. Oops.

      1. And that’s with the dollar hitting its lowest low since 2018. Discounting the Fed’s currency debasement, the actual value lost is even greater.

  13. “Furthermore, many of these buyers are hard-working Canadians who purchase a single condo unit as a savings and investment vehicle, to fund things like their children’s education.”

    Replace hard-working with greedy speculators. Hey with investment, sometime you make money and sometime you lose alot of money.

    1. Hey with investment, sometime you make money and sometime you lose alot of money.

      Replace “investment” with “asset bubble speculation.”

    2. Well, once upon a time you could earn a few percent interest even with a humble passbook savings account. Now, it’s either stawks or shacks. You just need to know when to get out before it’s too late (good luck with that).

      1. In September, after exhausting his life savings, he stopped paying the mortgage, too.”

        How about a fifty-two cent interest payment on $60,000 in savings? LOLZ.

      2. you could earn a few percent interest even with a humble passbook savings account. Now, it’s either stawks or shacks going broke little by little or all at once. FIFY.

  14. “Welcome to the year 2030. Welcome to my city – or should I say, “our city”. I don’t own anything. I don’t own a car. I don’t own a house. I don’t own any appliances or any clothes… In our city we don’t pay any rent, because someone else is using our free space whenever we do not need it. My living room is used for business meetings when I am not there.”

    https://www.weforum.org/agenda/2016/11/how-life-could-change-2030/

    No way. No effing way.

    1. I don’t own anything.

      In other words, the billionaires (trillionaires by then) will own absolutely everything. But not to worry, the chocolate ration is going up next month.

      Since they think they got away with stealing the US election (which was formerly unthinkable) they figure they can get away with this too.

      1. “Formerly unthinkable” has become the new normal. Hate to think of what’s coming down the pike, although having read Alexandr Solzhenitzin’s “200 Years Together,” I’ve got a pretty good idea. The Bolsheviks tend to stick with the same playbook.

      2. I especially like the “everything will be free, FREE!” Narrative, and there won’t be any shortages because AIs and robots will provide everything. We can all stay home and play games on the XBox.

        What will really happen is: you’re unemployable and if you want to collect your meager UBI you’ll need to be sterilized.

        1. “…and if you want to collect your meager UBI you’ll need to be sterilized…”

          And don’t forget the state mandated vaccination log [with embedded RFID chip to make tracking you easier] card hanging around your neck…

          1. “…A barcode tattooed on your forehead will do the trick…”

            Business opportunity alert: Design/build combination QR barcode reader, temperature checker, facial recognition camera into 1 single hand held unit. Unit must be blue-tooth enabled to transmit subject data to secure central repository.

          2. An even greater business opportunity will be forged vaccination certificates, hacked Bluetooth and RFID devices to screw up the surveillance systems. I already have a tribal relative who posts on FB using a monicker which translates as “Sweetgrass Cornplant” born in 1902.

          3. I recently had some work done on the house. The only time any of them wore a mask is when the foreman interacted with me. I felt pretty safe. I figure that if these young guys have been going maskless this whole time, they probably got it already and are immune by now.

            This would have been easier if Pfizer had bothered to do some PCR or even Abbot tests instead of just asking subjects for symptoms. Then we would know if the vaccine stops spread as well as infection.

          4. ‘And don’t forget the state mandated vaccination log [with embedded RFID chip to make tracking you easier] card hanging around your neck…’

            “A friend of mine went on carousel. Now he’s gone.”

          5. There are still many native languages in use today. The native words for families have sometimes been translated or even transliterated into English term. The man I am referring to used his historic family name as his FB family name – only an insider to his family or an astute historian could figure out the linkage. He started doing this over 10 years ago because he was working for the local sheriff & wanted to conceal his identity. Even my posted name here was chosen for the same type of reason. In my case, adapted from a mispronunciation of an ancestral French Canadian family name which still appears here & there in the USA, but no longer in old France.

    1. Cynthia Johnson: So this is just a warning to you Trumpers. Be careful. Walk lightly. We ain’t playing with you. Enough of the shenanigans. Enough is enough. And to those of you who are soldiers, you know how to do it. Do it right. Be in order. Make them pay.

          1. Looks like an authors’ retreat for an in-development Soy Lover’s Cookbook.

            From 2000-2007, I kept a vegetarian kitchen, and only ate meat once a week when I went out to lunch. I visited my grandmother and the first thing she said was “You’re too weak. You should eat more meat.” She knew my diet just from how I looked. This is exactly how these guys look. I expect to see all of them in a Suzanne commercial soon.

          2. You should eat more meat

            The Davos/WEF crowd disagree. Of course, they will be exempt from that diktat. We might have to eat bug paste, but they won’t.

        1. I visited my grandmother and the first thing she said was “You’re too weak. You should eat more meat.” So you have ancestral wisdom running in your family also. 🙂

  15. Schumer urges Biden to cancel millions in student loan debt by executive order

    By Mark Moore
    December 8, 2020 | 4:22pm | Updated

    “We have come to the conclusion that President Biden can undo this debt, can forgive $50,000 of debt the first day he becomes president,” Schumer said Monday, Fox Business reported. “You don’t need Congress. All you need is the flick of a pen.”

    https://nypost.com/2020/12/08/schumer-urged-biden-to-cancel-student-loan-debt-by-executive-order/

        1. “You don’t need Congress. All you need is the flick of a pen.” I am sure the USSC will go right along with that. And I’m not being ironic. This looting of the commonwealth will only make a financial collapse hit earlier and harder.

          1. Yup, SCOTUS. Schumer said that Biden had authority under the Higher Education Act, but I’d find it hard to believe that any law contains text to just whip off $1.7 trillion that’s not national defense (if that). And no, a degree in Gender Studies does not count as “general welfare.”

  16. Revolver — Chinese Professor Reveals Plot in Shock Video: US Elites and China Have Teamed Up to Take Control Of America (12/09/20):

    “From very early on in his presidential campaign, President Trump would always frame the Chinese threat in these terms. That is, he doesn’t blame China for doing what is best for the Chinese — he blames the stupid, weak, and corrupt leaders of the U.S. for letting them do it.

    The problem with China, then, isn’t really a problem with China at all. It’s a problem with our own unworthy and illegitimate ruling class. It is not as though the American ruling class is patriotic, competent, and intelligent when it comes to most issues, but has some unique blindspot or weakness when it comes to China. If this were the case, it would make sense to emphasize the particular dangers of China in order to direct the hypothetically patriotic, intelligent, and functional energies of the American ruling class to this problem.

    But this is not the case — that is, the American ruling class is not patriotic, competent and intelligent on most issues. Quite the contrary, on just about every issue that has mattered over the past several decades, the American ruling class has been stupid, corrupt, dysfunctional, and parasitic.

    Our ruling class has failed us on China because they have failed us on everything. It follows that there will be no sound China policy that benefits actual Americans until there is a legitimate ruling class in the United States. For this reason, emphasizing the wickedness and danger of China will be less effective than emphasizing the utter failure and illegitimacy of the American ruling class.

    The Chinese did not force the devastating and unnecessary lockdowns that have destroyed family wealth, shattered lives and dreams, and ruined New York, once one of the greatest cities in the world. Our own leaders did that to aggrandize and empower themselves, and no matter how defiantly we use the term “China virus” we should never forget that. Perhaps we would be better served to call it the “Bezos virus.”

      1. ‘Seventeen states are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to take up Texas’s request to challenge the 2020 election results in four battleground states.’

        ‘The states, led by Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt, filed a friend-of-the-court brief on Dec. 9, underscoring that the case filed by Texas is of great public importance and requires the attention of the nation’s top court.’

        ‘The Lone Star state alleges that the four key battleground states unconstitutionally changed election laws, treated voters unequally, and triggered significant voting irregularities by relaxing ballot integrity measures.’

        ‘In the brief, the 17 states argue that the Texas lawsuit warrants review by the high court as it presents important constitutional issues under the Electors Clause. It also raises concerns about election integrity and public confidence in the handling of elections, they added.’

        ‘The states said they have a strong interest in protecting the separation of powers in how elections are regulated. When election officials made changes to the rules governing elections, these non-legislative actors may have encroached on the power given to state legislatures by the Electors Clause in the U.S. Constitution, they assert.’

        ‘Under the U.S. Constitution, the “times, places, and manner of holding elections” may only be prescribed by the state “legislature” and “Congress.”

        “Encroachments on the authority of state Legislatures by other state actors violate the separation of powers and threaten individual liberty,” the states wrote (pdf).’

        ‘Meanwhile, the changes made by the defendant states to mail-in voting rules during the COVID-19 pandemic, the 17 states argued, would have likely enhanced the risk of election fraud, since they strip away safeguards protecting against fraudulent behavior.’

        ‘They added that the relaxation of safeguards for mail-in ballots create “needless vulnerability to actual fraud and undermined public confidence in the election.”

        ‘Some of these changes include removing signature verification, extending the deadline to receive mail-in ballots, and failing to implement consistent statewide standards for the handling of mail-in ballots, the Texas lawsuit alleges.’

        “These changes removed protections that responsible actors had recommended for decades to guard against fraud and abuse in voting by mail,” the states claim in their brief.’

        ‘The states supporting the Texas suit, all of which have Republican attorneys general, are Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, and West Virginia.’

        ‘Texas is hoping to obtain a declaration from the Supreme Court that the four states conducted the 2020 election in violation of the Constitution. It is also asking the court to prohibit the count of the Electoral College votes cast by the four states. For the defendant states that have already appointed electors, it asks the court to direct the state legislatures to appoint new electors, in line with the Constitution.’

        ‘Meanwhile, the state is also seeking a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order to block the four states from taking action to certify their election results or to prevent the state’s presidential electors from taking any official action. The presidential electors are scheduled to meet on Dec. 14.’

        ‘The court has ordered the defendant states to respond to Texas’s motions by 3 p.m. on Dec. 10.’

  19. Vaccine Whistleblower Found Dead After Saying She’d Never Commit Suicide

    Infowars.com
    December 9th 2020, 4:32 pm

    The body of Brandy Vaughan, former pharmaceutical insider and ex-Merck sales executive, was discovered by her nine-year-old son earlier this week, according to reports.

    The cause of death is currently unknown.

    “I’ve NEVER had any thoughts of taking my own life, not once, ever. Even before I had my son,” said Vaughan in a Facebook statement from last December. “I have a huge mission in this life. Even when they make it very difficult and scary, I would NEVER take my own life. Period.”

    “I have NEVER been on an anti-depressant nor been diagnosed as depressed – don’t believe it if you ever hear anything like this.”

    Additionally, healthnutnews.com is reporting Vaughan made it clear that if anything happened to her it would most likely be homicide.

    New York legislation could make COVID-19 vaccination mandatory

    By FOX 5 NY Staff
    Published 1 day ago

    NEW YORK – A New York lawmaker has proposed mandating vaccination against COVID-19 if not enough residents voluntarily get the shot once it is available.

    Once the vaccination program has been rolled out for a while, the Department of Health would have the authority to “mandate vaccination” to anyone who can “safely receive the vaccine” if public health officials see that New Yorkers aren’t developing “sufficient immunity from COVID-19.”

    Rosenthal told FOX 5 NY that if less than 70% of the population voluntarily gets vaccinated then the mandate should take effect.

    “Then the state Department of Health would have the ability to say that more people have to get it,” Rosenthal said in an interview. “And they would set the rules and they would set the structure.”

    https://www.fox5ny.com/news/new-york-legislation-would-make-covid-19-vaccination-mandatory

    1. “…anyone who can “safely receive the vaccine”…”

      If those 80-yr/old rest home residents are able to survive vaccination then it’ll likely become compulsory.

    2. On a separate note – remember when the media was ridiculing Trump on his talk of a vaccine this year? Where did all that noise go? Any of those snowflakes care to eat crow? I didn’t think so.

      1. “Where did all that noise go?”

        Hiding with the same silence the MSM had about Hunter Biden’s FBI investigation that is now admitted had been going on for 2 years leading up to the election.

      2. I wonder if there will there be separate camps for unvaccinated Trump voting gun owners in Region IV? There is a lot of vacant land out west to intern the recalcitrant. Or should I say, “inter”???
