A Reality Check On Real Estate Investing

A report from DS News. “Delinquencies are at an all-time high— ‘that’s the headline,’ Rick Shagra, SVP at RealtyTrac said but suggested that listeners consider some factors before panicking or view this like we would have viewed serious delinquencies a decade ago. The exception to the rule might be FHA loans, which are running about twice as delinquent as loans overall. ‘The FHA borrower who probably is at the low end of the income scale, and who probably took out a loan with very little downpayment, won’t maybe have the equity cushion that other borrowers might have.'”

“There was a 24% uptick of completed foreclosure auctions to a six-month high in September, said Daren Blomquist, VP Market Economics at Auction.com. The moratoria have played a part in creating a backlog of likely foreclosures that an Auction.com analysis estimates will grow to more than 1.1 million by Q2 2021. ‘Now it’s not going to all happen evenly over the next five years … but we’re, we’re coming off with that baseline level of about 250,000, adding another 60% roughly per year,’ he explains.”

From Realtor.com. “In November, urban tech centers such as the Bay Area, Manhattan, Boston, Seattle, and Washington, D.C all saw the largest declines in rents compared to last year. In November, San Francisco again topped the list of rent declines in all three unit types with studio rents declining by 35.2 percent, one-bedrooms by 27.0 percent, and two-bedrooms by 22.2 percent.”

“In November, the median studio rent in Manhattan was $2,300, down 22.0 percent year-over-year, accelerating from 20.0 percent last month. One-bedroom rents in Manhattan were $3,175, down 18.6 percent compared to last year, and accelerating from being down 16.7 percent last month. Two-bedroom rents in Manhattan were $5,265 in November, down 14.4 percent compared to last year, and accelerating from being down 11.1 percent last month.”

From Bloomberg on New York. “The pandemic is taking a bite out of the city’s revenue, with businesses shut down and some residents moving to the suburbs. That’s forcing spending cuts, including on affordable housing, said Alicia Glen, founder of development firm MSquared. ‘People shouldn’t be dancing in the streets if rents drop 30 or 40%,’ Glen said. ‘You need a strong housing market for a tax base.'”

The Real Deal on New York. “Brooklyn developer Yoel Goldman can’t seem to catch a break. In the past two weeks, Israeli authorities imposed a fine on Goldman’s company All Year Management for providing misleading financial information, and the firm paused its payments to bondholders. Now, a lender is seeking to foreclose on part of All Year’s trophy asset: The Denizen, a luxury rental complex in Bushwick. An affiliate of Mack Real Estate plans to sell the interests of the collateral of a $65 million mezzanine loan. The collateral consists of the second phase of the 900-unit apartment complex, according to marketing materials reviewed by The Real Deal.”

“In recent years, All Year has become one of the more prominent landlords in gentrifying Brooklyn neighborhoods by taking advantage of cheap financing on the Israeli bond market. Its portfolio includes 1,198 multifamily units and 184,179 square feet of commercial space, with properties in Bushwick, Williamsburg and Bedford-Stuyvesant.”

From Real Estate Journals on Texas. “JLL’s capital markets team has been engaged to market the sale of a $22.5 million non-performing multi-housing loan secured by the first mortgage on a low-rise, garden-style apartment property located in Houston. The loan was originated in September 2016 and is currently in maturity default, offering investors a unique opportunity to acquire a non-performing note at an attractive basis.”

The Washington Post. “Archie Djabatey was not a typical resident in this small four-unit building in Northeast Washington’s Deanwood neighborhood. He had hoped this property would prove to be the ‘start of my legacy for my future kids.’ But Djabatey’s aspirations of riding the District’s real estate market to a measure of financial security he didn’t know growing up in Southeast Washington are now complicated. In February, Djabatey won an eviction case against a tenant for failure to pay rent, the end of a saga that included claims of drug use, strangers allegedly spinning through the tenant’s apartment at all hours and complaints from his other residents.”

“But then the pandemic interrupted the legal process, and nine months later the tenant was still there rent-free, leaving Djabatey, a government contractor with the Federal Protective Service, without the monthly $1,002 rent to cover his own mortgage payments. ‘It’s coming out of my pocket,’ he said. ‘I’m in a very tight situation.'”

From Socket Site in California. “With a typical slowdown in new listing activity and seasonal culling of unsold listings, which are likely return to the market as ‘new” in the New Year, underway, the net number of homes listed for sale in San Francisco dropped another 7 percent over the past week to 1,410, a number which should continue to drop by up to 50 percent through the end of the year. That being said, inventory levels are still running 130 percent higher than they were at the same time last year, with 150 percent more condos on the market and 77 percent more single-family homes.”

“Of those homes currently listed for sale in the city, roughly 38 percent are now listed for under a million dollars (versus 25 percent at the same time last year) and 34 percent have undergone at least one price reduction, including 27 percent of the single-family homes and versus 30 percent at the same time last year.”

The Wall Street Journal on California. “Nile Niami, the brash real-estate developer known for his over-the-top megamansions, has placed one of his high-priced spec homes in bankruptcy. A company controlled by Mr. Niami filed for bankruptcy protection for a home the developer built in West Hollywood, records show. The property first came on the market for $55 million in early 2019, but the price was later reduced to $39.995 million. The property isn’t currently publicly listed for sale.”

“The filing values the property at $30 million, and lists the company’s total liabilities at $59.244 million. Mr. Niami was facing the prospect of a foreclosure sale at the property, records show. In April, a limited-liability company tied to Canadian investor Lucien Remillard, one of his lenders and a longtime partner, filed a notice of default on the property.”

“In a statement, a spokesman for Mr. Niami said: ‘Nile had a creditor who misrepresented facts, and put Nile in an untenable situation trying to force a foreclosure sale. Nile is seeking all legal remedies to rectify the situation and protect his asset.'”

From Bloomberg on Canada. “Merilee Wright doesn’t even officially own her condo in downtown Toronto yet and she’s already trying to sell it. The 56-year-old former bank executive agreed to buy the two-bedroom unit before construction got underway in 2018, a time when surging valuations and rising rents made Toronto condos seem like a perfect investment. Now, with the Covid-19 pandemic sending rents plunging and spurring an exodus from dense downtown housing, the unit is complete and Wright faces a choice between paying out more on her mortgage than she’d collect in rent each month, or bailing out of her investment at a discount.”

“‘Even if we get a tenant, after we close we’ll still have negative cash flow and that situation will exist until the rents in the city rebound,’ she said. ‘You’ve got kind of the perfect storm happening with downtown condos in Toronto right now.'”

“The worry for Canada is that its major cities contain a lot of other people facing the same problem. The dense thickets of condo towers that have transformed skylines in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal over the last decade were financed, in part, by tens of thousands of mom-and-pop investors buying individual units to rent them out. With rents continuing to drop, similar financial distress among these small-time landlords could become more widespread.”

“In Vancouver, similar distress is showing up in a public Facebook Inc. group frequented by Vancouver area real estate agents. Posts began appearing last month saying clients were willing to take a loss in order to get out of contracts for units finishing construction over the next year. ‘Priced $55k below purchase price,’ read one all caps message from Nov. 10, trying to sell a two-bedroom unit due to be completed in December. ‘Current owner is selling at a $50,000 loss,’ said a post from Nov. 3 offering two bedrooms near Vancouver’s waterfront set to finish construction in the first half of 2021.”

“‘It’s the next six to 12 months that really is what’s going to be painful,’ said Wright, the Toronto condo investor who reckons she and her business partner could sustain the losses, but is also looking for a buyer if she can find one. She called it a ‘reality check’ on real estate investing.”

From Domain News on Australia. “Owners of apartments in the blighted Mascot Towers are finally to get their day in court, accusing the developer, builder and engineers of the next-door development of being responsible for work that caused catastrophic damage to their homes. The hearing follows an extraordinary general meeting of the owners in late November where they agreed to borrow a further $22.5 million in strata loans on top of the $10.5 million they’ve already borrowed to both pursue legal action, and fix their crumbling building.”

“They plan to pay back the loans via higher levies, and special levies, over the next 15 years. One source says the latest estimates put the potential total costs as high as $53 million. ‘I’m still bewildered that something like this could have happened,’ said one owner, Anthony Najafian, 39.”

“‘It’s terrible that this has happened. The level of sacrifice we’ve had to make, with everyone crying every day and so upset, it’s taking such a huge personal toll. I’ve lost my life savings and my wife and I have had to abandon all hope of having a second child because we won’t be able to give another child the quality of life they deserve. I have three people relying on me – my wife, our child and my disabled brother – and we know all the money we’ve raised is still only the tip of the iceberg.'”

“Meanwhile, the owners are unable to sell their apartments since they’re uninhabitable, and no one knows how much they’ll eventually cost to remedy. Another source involved with the building said, ‘A lot of the owners are struggling at the moment. They have a lot of financial pressures on them, and they’ve been effectively homeless for the past 18 months.'”

    Well it was cheaper than renting Tony.

    1. The level of sacrifice we’ve had to make, with everyone crying every day and so upset, it’s taking such a huge personal toll.

      Boo f**king hoo. You bubble chasers drove prices to unsustainable levels and priced out the prudent and responsible. Now it’s time to pay the piper. Die, speculator scum.

    2. It’s such a nice feeling knowing that at any point in time I am never bound to a financial contract that extends more than 12 months into the future.

      Debt is slavery.

    3. To be a landlord or lady is a modern status symbol in my circles. Growing up middle class in the 60s/70s in a Boston suburb only my aunt/uncle who had a two family house had a tenant. Back then, people just lived in their houses. No one bragged about having tenants, tenants paying their mortgage, their AirBnB investment property or how much their house was worth on Zillow, how much rent they were fetching because they bought at the right time in the right zip code, how they would get rich from “flipping”, how they planned to retire early due to their real estate “investments”.

      To be a renter around here is to cower in shame. OK, hyperbole but there remains a huge stigma even if one is financially well-off (which I do not brag about as I’m then asked why I do not buy property). Recently I was at a backyard gathering with four other women, all of whom had tenants. There was some anxiety about the current climate, one woman was trying to rent her newly vacated apartment and had to lower the rent. Another said she wasn’t sure how one of her tenants was paying the rent but so far they’d kept up.

      Despite the fact that I don’t “own” property, I’m fine being a renter until prices come down to reality and if/when I do buy, I’m still not interested in having tenants. Sounds stressful and I only have one life to live and heck, it’s getting shorter by the day. Sorry, folks.

      1. To be a landlord or lady is a modern status symbol in my circles.

        That’s because it shows you’re “smart” and unlike the “little people” you don’t have to work for a living, you just kick back and collect the rent.

        It works great, until it doesn’t.

        1. It’s all the FIRE movement, Dave Ramsey, and passive income. Even Lynnette Zang, the precious metals screecher, screeches about buying income-producing assets. I can’t say I blame some of them. We all know that regular work is no longer rewarded, and housing is (was) a viable strategy to make up for what salary no longer is.

          1. I was just going to say the same Oxide. It is the FIRE movement

            Old timey landlords could only make this work if they bought smaller apartment buildings 4-20 units and did most of the regular maintenance work (including cleaning, lawns, snow removal etc) themselves. It was hard work – and they (really) earned a living doing this.

            Now these new fangle investors can afford to pay the condo prices, condo HOA, hire handy men etc. based on a 10% downpayment and expect to get a 50% appreciation in 5-10 years with little work effort.

          2. Now these new fangle investors can afford to pay the condo prices, condo HOA, hire handy men etc. based on a 10% downpayment and expect to get a 50% appreciation in 5-10 years with little work effort.

            Which is why every easy-money bubble-chaser on the planet piled into it and is now squealing like a pig as it swallows them whole.

          3. Believe me, I wish I had bought something 20-25 years ago. Alas, I did not, was not interested in SFH maintenance without a partner. Found something wrong with all the condos I looked at. I live in a very pricey zip code and have done fine renting and saving as I’ve had below market rent *and* I lived beneath my means. However, I do have to move at some point in the not so distant future….top floor walk-up and time marching on, the proverbial writing is on the wall.

            Although I have not kept up with the Joneses, I’m far from poor and if/when things settle down I’ll likely buy something with cash unless renting proves to be a better option. Gotta get old and decrepit somewhere, the good Lord willin’. Hoping interest rates rise so I can both buy something at a more reasonable price and eek out an existence as an elderly saver.

            Having zero debt does feel good and I’m well positioned as long as FDIC insurance is a real thing. Fingers crossed.

          4. “…top floor walk-up…”

            But that keeps the cottage cheese off your thighs, gives those cheeks some definition and it’s good for your heart.

      2. No one bragged about having tenants, tenants paying their mortgage, their AirBnB investment property or how much their house was worth on Zillow, how much rent they were fetching because they bought at the right time in the right zip code, how they would get rich from “flipping”, how they planned to retire early due to their real estate “investments”.

        The kind of people who actually make money on rental properties don’t brag about it. You’re talking about the “all hat, no cattle” types.

        1. Indeed! I do have some less judge-y friends yet so many people are obsessed with real estate, “house beautiful”, renovating and decorating. The whole “pride of ownership”, you are essentially defined by your home, your choice in furnishings, wall paint colors, etc. Millennial gray all the way!

          1. Step 1: Dumb ’em down:

            “… so many people are obsessed with real estate, ‘house beautiful’, renovating and decorating. The whole ‘pride of ownership’, you are essentially defined by your home, your choice in furnishings, wall paint colors, etc.”

            Step 2: Profit. Be the guy that they depend on to “Make It Happen” financial wise. Be sure that you make it happen by using other people’s money.

            Sign ’em up then relax and go to the beach. They will work and you will reap.

        Canada’s a real estate nation, just waiting for a crash
        Konrad Yakabuski
        Published August 18, 2016 Updated May 16, 2018

        “Hewers of wood and drawers of water, not. Canada is now a real estate nation, with little else to keep the economy from sinking into an even deeper funk. Gross domestic product shrank 0.1 per cent in May, and that’s after excluding the negative impact of Alberta’s wildfires on oil sands output. Yet, we’re still buying houses like there’s no tomorrow.”

        “And there may not be a tomorrow for the suckers who buy in at the peak, whenever it comes.”

        “The so-called economic rotation from oil to manufacturing exports that rate cuts (and the related decline in the Canadian dollar) were supposed to produce has not only failed to materialize but policy makers have pumped helium into an already overheated real estate sector that is masking structural weaknesses in the economy and setting us up for a bigger fall.”

        “It’s “difficult to believe that any progress has been made in terms of economic rotation. Indeed, the opposite appears to be the case, given real estate’s increasingly large share of economic output,” TD Bank economist Brian DePratto noted in a Thursday report. “Rising home prices do have positive knock-on effects for consumer spending, but over-reliance on the real estate market is hardly the sign of a healthy economy.””

        – Globalization hollowed-out the economies of many Western nations. Real estate was financialized and promoted by said globalists to fill the void, lest there be social unrest. Now everyone’s a real estate mogul; trading real estate is the new economy. From asset bubble to asset bubble.

  4. ‘In Vancouver, similar distress is showing up in a public Facebook Inc. group frequented by Vancouver area real estate agents. Posts began appearing last month saying clients were willing to take a loss in order to get out’

    Wa? But Vancouver UHS say up 20%? Don’t get high on yer own supply.

    1. The “Fact Checkers” are spinning this harder than a breakdancer in the 1980s

      The probability of Biden winning in Wisconsin, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania “given President Trump’s early lead … is less than one in a quadrillion” in each state.

      “The probability of former Vice President Biden winning the popular vote in the four Defendant States — Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin — independently given President Trump’s early lead in those States as of 3 a.m. on November 4, 2020, is less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000,” says the lawsuit, citing calculations by Charles J. Cicchetti.

      Claims about this 1 in a quadrillion chance spread widely on Facebook after the Dec. 8, 2020, lawsuit. White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany repeated the claim that day, as did articles on various conservative websites. These stories were flagged as part of Facebook’s efforts to combat false news and misinformation on its News Feed. (Read more about our partnership with Facebook).

      Building on that assumption, it says the late swings to Biden in four key states were statistically virtually impossible.

      But the last votes to be counted weren’t random — they were absentee ballots and from large cities, both groups that swing very heavily to Democrats.

      Given which votes were uncounted in the wee hours of Nov. 4, the swing to Biden was expected, logical and legitimate.

      2. I’ve pointed to this all along, or as soon as it started coming out. Getting 100 straight votes out of 100, in a tightly contested race, is very unlikely. Step it up to 1,000 out of 1,000 and it goes up exponentially. People with any math skills know this. In one state in those wee hours, D’pedo got 125,000 out of 125,000 votes. Sure.

        ‘less than one in a quadrillion, or 1 in 1,000,000,000,000,000’

        Much more likely to buy a lottery ticket in each state and win the jackpot in each state, on the same day.

          Being injured or killed by unstable furniture falling over is rare, but maybe not as rare as you think. Around 30,700 injuries are reported every year, but these rarely result in deaths. Between 2000 and 2016, only 514 incidents involving unstable furniture were fatal, and most involved children from 1 month to 14 years old. Even at these small numbers, you’re more likely to be crushed to death by furniture than die in a terrorist attack

          The average American has a 1 in 11,125 chance of dying in a mass shooting over the course of their lives

          Catching a foul ball during a professional baseball game is a dream of any fan, and the odds of it happening aren’t too terrible, depending on some obvious factors like where you’re sitting and the pitcher-batter matchup. All in all, there’s around a 1 in 835 chance of snagging a ball while rooting for your team. The odds of catching two in a row are closer to 1 in 1 billion

          The best hand in poker, a royal flush consists of a 10, jack, queen, king, and ace of the same suit in your hand. There’s only a 0.00015% chance of being dealt this, and only four possibilities—one of each suit—out of 2.6 million possible poker hands in a normal five-card game

          This would be the probability that started it all, but what are the chances of any one human existing at all? While they’re not infinitely small, the odds are not stacked in your favor. Your parents had to meet, you had to be conceived from a specific sperm and egg, you had to be born, and your ancestors had to do the same thing for generations before you or your parents were born. After all that, you had around a 1 in 5.5 trillion chance, but if you’re reading this, you beat those tough odds, so congratulations are in order

          1. That last paragraph sounds like hate speech. Our betters have informed that we are to disregard thousands of years of evolutionary biology and remake society to cater to the mental illness of men who LARP as women.

          2. People suck at math/statistics, just look at the covid numbers and hear the karens scream about how not wearing a mask 24/7 makes you literally hitler.

        2. It’s not like any of this was planned or anything.

          Michigan 2020 election results could take multiple days. That means the system’s working.

          Clara Hendrickson

          Michigan’s election officials have already warned voters not to expect results Tuesday night, but fear a delay could allow misinformation to cast doubt on the outcome, particularly in a close presidential race.

          Already, conservative online communities and commentators have spread a false and misleading narrative that not knowing the winner on election night indicates problems with the election process. When Michigan Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson said last month to “be prepared for this to be closer to an election week as opposed to an Election Day,” the President Donald Trump Fan Club Facebook page asked “They Need A Week So They Know How Many Ballots They Need To Find To Win?” Talk radio host Steve Gruber chimed in on another Facebook post, “So predictable! Dems trying to cheat are even admitting what they are up to!”

          https://www.freep.com/story/news/politics/elections/2020/11/01/when-will-we-know-who-won-the-election/3752719001/

          1. After searching the name Clara Hendrickson the word “Free” should be taken out of “Detroit Free Press”.

      3. For reference, here are Maryland’s and DC’s vote totals:

        Montgomery County: borders on DC city line:
        Biden: 419,569 (78.6%)
        Trump: 101,222 (19%)
        Prince George’s County: the other county that borders on the DC city line. HEAVILY black and Hispanic:
        Biden: 1,985,023 (65.4%)
        Trump: 976,414 (32%)
        Baltimore City: inside the city limits
        Biden: 207,260
        Trump: 25,374
        Baltimore County (Baltimore burbs)
        Biden: 258,409
        Trump: 146,202
        Washington, DC:
        Biden: 317,323 (93%)
        Trump: 18,586 (5.4%)

        I don’t know what the calculations said, but it seems pretty easy to at least test the MI WI PA GA AZ statistics against other cities or other elections, and destroy handwaving such as “expected, logical, legitimate.” My guess is that the mail-in ballots would look a lot the sum of both Baltimores — a mix of Republicans and Democrats that favored Biden, but not by 1000:1.

        By the way, there was another article showing Biden turnout vs. Clinton in 2016. The argument was the Biden improved over Clinton in “non-rigged” cities too. Well, that data is obscured by the fact that turnout for Clinton was very low, and in comparison, even normal Dem turnout would look like a huge jump. I would be interested in seeing how Biden did against 2012 Obama.

        1. My guess is that the mail-in ballots would look a lot the sum of both Baltimores — a mix of Republicans and Democrats that favored Biden, but not by 1000:1.’

          good point

        2. “I would be interested in seeing how Biden did against 2012 Obama.”

          I can only help with counties nationally.

          2012 Obama 689

          2020 Biden 524

          208 Obama 873

          2020 Trump won 87% of counties in U.S.

          Biden won 13% of counties in U.S.

  5. ‘Nile had a creditor who misrepresented facts, and put Nile in an untenable situation trying to force a foreclosure sale. Nile is seeking all legal remedies to rectify the situation and protect his asset’

    I’m pretty sure it ain’t his asset.

    2. “This isn’t even remotely how elections are decided.”

      Obviously but the counties Biden won and by how much was the way this election was decided.

      In the link below

      Georgia

      Fulton County (Ruby Freeman)

      Biden won by 242,965

      63,697 more votes than Clinton in 2016

      Cobb County

      Biden won by 56,411

      49,202 more than Clinton in 2016

  6. ‘Brooklyn developer Yoel Goldman can’t seem to catch a break. In the past two weeks, Israeli authorities imposed a fine on Goldman’s company All Year Management for providing misleading financial information, and the firm paused its payments to bondholders. Now, a lender is seeking to foreclose on part of All Year’s trophy asset’

    Israeli investors take another a$$-pounding.

  7. “Delinquencies are at an all-time high— ‘that’s the headline,’ Rick Shagra, SVP at RealtyTrac said but suggested that listeners consider some factors before panicking or view this like we would have viewed serious delinquencies a decade ago.

    I’m not panicking, Rick. As a happy renter kicked back on his lawn chair, watching this all play out, I’m cool as a cucumber. The sooner the Fed’s Everything Bubble bursts, the better, as far as I’m concerned.

    1. @Boo Randy,

      Same here, waiting for the fed bailout free cheese bubble to pop and mortgage rates to go back up and covid to end as well as inventory levels to rise in northern California. Hopefully that will force a housing correction so that prices come back to normal. The covid lockdowns, election fraud and massive price increases remind me of the 2008-2012 market crash.

      1. waiting for the fed bailout free cheese bubble to pop

        They’ve doubled down so many times that the mess may be uncleanable without a shooting war. Too many people depend on the corruption now to go back to an honest system peacefully.

        1. After this latest QE BS, they have made it perfectly clear that they will destroy the US dollar and the USA before they will allow asset prices to fall.

          1. Powell tried very hard to go back to an honest solution, i.e. raising interest rates a little, in late 2018. The stock market threw a hissy fit. It’s clear now that they will die without ever-increasing amounts of helicopter heroin. I think we have about a year, and then all hell will break loose.

          2. Powell tried very hard to go back to an honest solution

            I would call that a token effort, perhaps just theater to make sure everyone understands they’re going to take it and they’re going to like it. I wouldn’t call it trying “very hard”. As far as I know nobody has seriously tried to run an honest system at least since Greenspan first appeared.

          4. I expect the Fed will “Release the Kraken” and raise interest rates in the new year. The stock bubble is too obvious.

    1. Quick, get some cameras and wires in those clubs. I bet you’ll catch a manila-enveloped politician or two.

      1. There must be brown envelopes traded. That, or Cal pols love strip clubs. Years ago, when I still lived in Clownifornia I attended the local city council meeting one evening. The topic of the day was a strip joint opening very close to a school. Parents were present in force and livid. A few were allowed to air their opposition, after which the audience was told to go pound sand and the strip joint was approved.

        It was very interesting seeing the government of, for and by the people at work. Perhaps had we taken a collection and offered a fatter brown envelope things might have gone differently.

    The Swalwell Scandal isn’t about a one-off dalliance w/ a Chinese spy.

    It’s that 1) he and the woman dated, 2) she bundled political cash for him, 3) she seeded staff into Capitol Hill, & 4) he serves on the Intel Committee.

    Oh, and 5) Pelosi knew about the whole damn thing.

    1. At this point I don’t think it matters anymore. Clearly the courts are compromised and will not act. I’m beginning to think that it will take a “crossing the Rubicon” type of event to stop the CCP heist.

  11. Gallup — Americans’ Mental Health Ratings Sink to New Low (12/07/20):

    “Americans’ latest assessment of their mental health is worse than it has been at any point in the last two decades. Seventy-six percent of U.S. adults rate their mental health positively, representing a nine-point decline from 2019.”

    Happy nine month anniversary of “two weeks to flatten the curve.”

      1. That 16 year old kid in Maine who offed himself did it because he couldn’t see his friends and couldn’t play football after training all summer for it.

        Almost time to roll over the odometer to “happy ten month anniversary” here soon.

        Lockdown lovers, this kid’s dead body is on YOUR HANDS.

    2. Happy nine month anniversary of “two weeks to flatten the curve.”

      The apocalyptic winter cometh as the dicktators force the herd into their boxes. Think seasonal affective disorder to the 10th power.

      1. “force the herd”

        Apparently you haven’t spent much time on Reddit.

        These people hate exercise, hate sunlight, hate hygiene, and hate anyone who doesn’t hate themselves as much as they do.

        1. Admittedly, I do not have a Reddit account nor do I ever read there. The handful of times I ended up on their site were because of a Google search. The site appeared clunky and difficult to follow.

          1. You’re not missing much. I read the /r/coronavirus sub to monitor the level of hysteria.

            There are people who post there that they have NOT BEEN OUTSIDE once since February or March. And those posts get hundreds of upvotes.

          2. I do not have a Reddit account nor do I ever read there. The handful of times I ended up on their site were because of a Google search. The site appeared clunky and difficult to follow.

            +1 I think I went there intentionally once when Allena was doing her bear attack Q&A there. But I never saw anything that made me think of it as a good place to socialize.

          3. There are people who post there that they have NOT BEEN OUTSIDE once since February or March.

            Is there any way of keeping them there permanently?

      1. “most of them are lying…:

        One of the years I was coaching Youth Sports teams I had to take 2 parents to a parking lot and tell them they could not argue with (scream at) each other in front of their kid or the other kids or I wouldn’t allow them to be at games or practices at the same time.

        Walking back to the field another Dad asked if everything was ok and I replied (shaking my head)…

        It is now but GD, I thought they were a perfect family.

        He said…

        All families are fuqed up, some just hide it better than others.

        2. One of the years I was coaching Youth Sports teams I had to take 2 parents to a parking lot and tell them they could not argue with (scream at) each other in front of their kid or the other kids or I wouldn’t allow them to be at games or practices at the same time.

          I know of a coach who was being heckled by a dad who was finally told to leave the venue. When the coach was walking out to his car after the game, the dad was waiting for him in the parking lot and sucker punched him. The coach sustained traumatic injuries and the dad fled. Turns out the dad was a local firefighter and the local cops were trying to cover for him. A massive lawsuit ensued. I never heard what became of it.

          1. If college wasn’t so expensive I think we’d see fewer fights. A lot of those parents are banking on college athletic scholarships.

            On a related note, I refuse to pay money to see any production of The Nutcracker. Huge amount of backstabbing and stage mothering in choosing which girls from the local ballet schools get to dance which parts with the pro ballet company. But at least the music is outstanding, if overplayed.

          2. The Nutcracker

            Seems like every art form has their special pieces that J6P is willing to pay to experience on special occasions that pay the bills to keep it all going the rest of the time while the artists are working on something more interesting to themselves.

          3. If college wasn’t so expensive I think we’d see fewer fights. A lot of those parents are banking on college athletic scholarships.

            Some of those “travelling teams” have huge fees, plus all of the travelling costs. And only the kids in the elite level leagues have a crack at a scholarship, and even then the competition is fierce. I know of kids who played 10 years at elite level and all they got was a $4000 scholarship. They would have done far better had they saved the money spent on the team.

          4. Travel ball and scholarships ? Sometimes but not often and usually its the kid of influential rich parents anyway. Higher education has proven to be bought for many by the rich.

            Its not talent these days its the certificate, the degree, the money.

    4. I know that my mental health is on the way down. My social life had been limited to the office and a group of out-of-work friends, but it was ok. The office will never be the same, as I expect half of them to request full-time work at home and I’ll never see them in person again, and my out-of-work friends have all contracted incurable TDS. I’m not sure what I’ll do.

      2. I’m not sure what I’ll do.

        Similar for me, but I’m finding it freeing rather than depressing. I was putting too much mental energy into trying to maintain unimportant relationships anyway. Maybe I’m just introverted but I’d rather stay home most of the time and focus on a few closer relationships.

      3. I know that my mental health is on the way down…I’m not sure what I’ll do.

        Whenever this shamdemic ends, I’ll be taking a trip to DC to do some touristy stuff. It’s been too long and I’m itching to get back. I have family in Maryland I stay with. I prefer the shoulder season so probably a late September affair.

        We could meet up and I’ll buy you a nice lunch, anyplace you want. Price is no object. I know this is well into the future, but could be fun. I think we’re the same age.

        2. I too want to go to DC. I have some research I’d like to do at the National Archives, and a cousin’s grave at Arlington I’d like to visit. The NPS has a wonderful campground at Green Belt where I’ve stayed before.

  12. “The pandemic is taking a bite out of the city’s revenue, with businesses shut down and some residents moving to the suburbs. That’s forcing spending cuts, including on affordable housing, said Alicia Glen, founder of development firm MSquared. ‘People shouldn’t be dancing in the streets if rents drop 30 or 40%,’ Glen said. ‘You need a strong housing market for a tax base.’”

    Fu*K Off Alicia. Yer go fooked yerself

    “‘It’s terrible that this has happened. The level of sacrifice we’ve had to make, with everyone crying every day and so upset, it’s taking such a huge personal toll. I’ve lost my life savings and my wife and I have had to abandon all hope of having a second child because we won’t be able to give another child the quality of life they deserve. I have three people relying on me – my wife, our child and my disabled brother – and we know all the money we’ve raised is still only the tip of the iceberg.’”

    I bet the real estate agent said it will be cheaper than renting. BTW, lets hope you are not a hard-working person trying to buy investment for your kid’s education fund. Oh Wait.

  13. ‘While Facebook portrays its army of fact-checkers as independent, the money behind at least one carries a distinct taint. One fact-checker, Lead Stories, is partly paid through its partnership with TikTok, a social media platform run by a Chinese company that owes its allegiance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). TikTok is currently being probed by American authorities as a national security threat.’

    ‘Moreover, the organization that’s supposed to oversee the quality of fact-checkers is run by Poynter Institute, another TikTok partner.’

    ‘Lead Stories says it’s been contracted by ByteDance “for fact checking related work” referring to TikTok’s announcement earlier this year that it has partnered with several organizations “to further aid our efforts to reduce the spread of misinformation,” particularly regarding the CCP virus pandemic which originated in China and was exacerbated by the CCP regime’s coverup.’

    ‘Facebook’s fact-checking partnerships have drawn criticism as they facilitate censorship. A post flagged as false by the partners not only gets furnished with a warning label and a link to the fact check, but Facebook “significantly reduces the number of people who see it,” the company says on its website.’

    ‘The fact-checkers themselves can choose what content to review and decide what is labeled as false and why. Any complaints about the verdict must be raised with the fact-checkers, who aren’t known to readily reverse themselves, even when their fact checks themselves require fact checking.’

    ‘Chinese businesses are required to toe the party line and Bytedance founder Yiming Zhang found the hard way that even a perceived lack of enthusiasm for CCP censorship isn’t tolerated.’

    ‘In 2018, CCP officials shut down his humor and meme app Neihan Duanzi (translated as “Insider Jokes”). In response, Zhang issued a self-criticism letter, pledging allegiance to the party agenda.’

    “Our product took the wrong path, and content appeared that was incommensurate with socialist core values, that did not properly implement public opinion guidance,” the letter said, according to a translation by China Media Project.’

    ‘Zhang promised his company would focus on “strengthening the work of Party construction, carrying out education among our entire staff on the ‘Four Consciousnesses,’ socialist core values, [correct] guidance of public opinion, and laws and regulations, truly acting on the company’s social responsibility.”

    ‘Zhang also committed to “further deepening cooperation with authoritative [official Party] media, elevating distribution of authoritative media content, ensuring that authoritative [official Party] media voices are broadcast to strength.”

    ‘Facebook fortifies its justification for the use of fact-checkers by saying they need to be certified by the International Fact-Checking Network (IFCN). The organization was founded in 2015 and is run by the non-profit journalism school Poynter Institute.’

    ‘In 2019, IFCN was almost entirely funded by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar—a major Democrat donor—as well as Google and progressive billionaire George Soros. Facebook is listed as one of the previous donors too.’

    ‘Who gets certified is decided by the IFCN’s seven-member advisory board made up of representatives of fact-checking organizations. Only two seem to have any experience covering U.S. political news. One is Glenn Kessler, former foreign policy reporter and now the head of the fact-checking feature at The Washington Post. Kessler and his team earlier this year published a book called “Donald Trump and His Assault on Truth.”

    ‘The other is Angie Drobnic Holan, editor-in-chief at PolitiFact, which is owned by Poynter.’

    Fact checkers = communist propaganda.

    1. ‘In 2018, CCP officials shut down his humor and meme app Neihan Duanzi (translated as “Insider Jokes”). In response, Zhang issued a self-criticism letter, pledging allegiance to the party agenda.’

      I literally laughed out loud when I read this. These tech companies who are in bed with China can go fawk themselves. If you use Fakebook, you are the problem.

      1. Unfortunately, I see that happening right here in the U S of A. Do the people with TDS — the people who are deliriously happy about the election — even know how deep China’s claws are? Will China be able to hide their involvement?

        1. They probably don’t know how deep the CCP’s claws are because they are too focused on their TDS and “winning.” Or they don’t even care, which is even scarier than the TDS.

          1. they don’t even care

            My opinion is that a significant chunk of the country is so happy to get rid of T that they will support *anything* that makes that happen. Which of course is a bad sign for the future of the country…

    2. “Fact checkers = communist propaganda.”

      +1

      – FB: We say our “fact-checking” is fair, balanced, and unbiased, because “shut up!”

      – Fact-wrecking if you ask me, but nobody at FB is asking… 🙂

      – Opinion only: The longer that these types of high-tech sleaze, leftists, etc. are allowed to continue with their agenda, including one-sided propaganda and outright attacks on our system of government without constraint, then the less likely there is going to be a peaceful solution by political means. I for one am getting fed up with the whole sh*t show and I’m sure I’m not the only one. Our duly elected representatives are supposed to be looking out for our best interests, but instead they’re focused on anything but. How about “First do no harm?” That would be at least a step in the right direction.

      – Wall St. again got bailed out, but Main St. not so much. Small businesses, which are the engines of job growth and innovation are taking it in the shorts. Monopolies and trusts continue to gain power and market share. It almost seems like it was planned that way…

      – If there’s anything left of the social contract in America at this point, it’s wearing pretty thin. Note that gun sales and background checks continue at very high levels. 2021 should be “interesting.” Stay safe out there.

  14. My little burg’s city council, which last election put up a ballot issue to raise the sales tax because “reasons” (it was shot down), is going to issue $500K in small business grants. So much for being broke and needing to raise sales taxes.

    I suppose that it’s only a question of time before they stuff the ballot box to pass a future prop 2A. I also realize that’s how TABOR will be repealed as well, they’ll just stuff the ballot box.

  16. Very untrue. People bought pre-built condos for 2%-5% deposits down with the full expectation that the ‘value’ would rise by 10-20% 2 years later when it was built. Renting out the unit once completed, was a good deal – because they could HELOC out some money – and ‘invest’ that in the next pre-built.

    I looked her up – she was working on a customer experience role at CIBC – and then did a COO job at a real estate investing company (Keyspire). This is not a random person from the street – it was an insider that was doing the Bloomberg interview.

    —-
    “The worry for Canada is that its major cities contain a lot of other people facing the same problem. The dense thickets of condo towers that have transformed skylines in Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal over the last decade were financed, in part, by tens of thousands of mom-and-pop investors buying individual units to rent them out. With rents continuing to drop, similar financial distress among these small-time landlords could become more widespread.”

    2. Most women in the U.S. don’t net $2,400/month unless they’re educated and living in a metro area where there’s room for diversity hiring.

    3. “…which Melinda Gates suggested recently in a Washington Post op-ed.”

      I’m tired of first-lady’s and/or rich wife’s meddling. Nancy Reagan and Hillary Clinton come to mind.

      1. Why do I think the Melinda and Dollar Bill won’t be volunteering to foot the bill for this generous handout?

      2. The older she gets, the more she looks like a dude. Never seen anything like it – looks like a tranny tbh. Maybe she is the guinea pig for some of the vaccines they fund?

    4. Reparations, UBI, paying “caregivers”, free college, Medicare for all.

      Have any of them stopped to think about how much this will cost?

      1. Have any of them stopped to think about how much this will cost?

        They. Don’t. Care. That’s somebody else’s problem. I used to hate them for that attitude. But now I can’t blame them since the Fed has done their best to convince everyone that anything needed by “good people” is worth running the printing presses for.

      2. Must be the MMT Modern Monetary Theory cost doesn’t matter if you can print money. It might even work for awhile but not for long.

        I don’t know why Gold hasn’t gone up more with all these crazy ideas

        1. Once the inflation dam breaks, PM’s will fly into the stratosphere. And if they print enough money to pay for all that stuff, there will be inflation.

  19. Aww, the poor speculators…

    US Lawmakers Tell Mnuchin to Back Off From Potential Crypto Wallet Regs

    Implementing regulations around self-hosted wallets might have the unintended effect of turning anyone who currently uses one into a criminal, the letter added.

    “Over-regulating self-hosted wallets will crush a nascent industry and leave the United States behind the rest of the world when it comes to harnessing the power of blockchain and cryptocurrency,” he added.

    1. This stuff is monumental. The four defendant states have responded today. I noticed that the PA General Assembly joined the suit against its own state! The logic is they want to make clear the separation of Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of state government.

      1. he PA General Assembly joined the suit against its own state

        It filed an amicus curiae brief. An amicus curiae (literally, “friend of the court”; plural: amici curiae) is someone who is not a party to a case who assists a court by offering information, expertise, or insight that has a bearing on the issues in the case.

        1. joined the suit

          OK then, as friends of the court they encouraged the SC to proceed to judge their own state in the case.

          3. Word searching “interven” in the docket shows 3 motions to intervene: DJT, 6 states, and a bunch of individuals.

    “Sorry but Antifa will destroy these pussy cops. Since when did police forces only hire girlie men who terrorize the innocent citizens, set up punks for dope, shoot unarmed punks 97 times reaching into their pockets for a cell phone (which could have been a gun) write jillions of traffic tickets, harass and arrest men for child support obligations-but STAND DOWN when a group of tranny homos and liberals threaten to physically harm them? They actually don’t have to threaten –just say “Boo” and they run away.

    Unleash the Proud Boys.

      “Portland protesters drew a line in the sand warning onlookers and press not to shoot footage in an “autonomous zone” — set up to reclaim a house where a black family was evicted — as they returned for a third day Thursday.

      Activists behind the armed occupation of the “Red House on Mississippi” urged camera-wielding lookie-loos not to enter the sealed-off streets surrounding the Kinney family home in a heated warning on Twitter.

      “The space at the Red House is an active eviction blockade. If you enter that space not to defend the Kinney family, but to livestream or film the risks that others are taking for your personal gain, then you are a guest. If you aren’t respectful, you will be an unwelcome one,” the PNW Youth Liberation Front, a group of social justice activists, tweeted Thursday morning.”

  23. Pennsylvania House Leaders File Brief to Support Texas in Supreme Court Lawsuit Against Pennsylvania

    ‘A brief (pdf) filed by Pennsylvania House Speaker Bryan Cutler and Majority Leader Kerry Benninghoff, both Republicans, requests that the Supreme Court “carefully consider the procedural issues and questions raised by the Plaintiff concerning the administration of the 2020 General Election in Pennsylvania.”

    “The unimpeachability of our elections requires clear procedures of administration so that everyone gets a fair shake. Unfortunately, outside actors have so markedly twisted and gerrymandered the Commonwealth’s Election Code to the point that amici find it unrecognizable from the laws that they enacted,” they wrote, adding that the state of Texas “raised important questions about how this procedural malfeasance affected the 2020 General Election.”

        1. I believe they have been rigging elections for a long time now.
          They got George Soros on tape saying in essence that he was going to take care of Trump in 2020.
          What could that mean but a rigged election?

    ‘I was ready to die’: Man attacked after confronting suspects for not wearing masks

    BY CNN NEWS SOURCE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 10TH 2020

    OCEAN SHORES Wa. — A Washington man says he ended up in the hospital after confronting two men for not wearing a mask.

    The 43-year-old says they attacked him.

    Police say they don’t know whether the men acted in self-defense or not.

    Daniel Troublefield took these pictures at the hospital right after he says he was attacked.

    “I curled up in the fetal position and I was just ready to die,” said Troublefield.

    He shared this surveillance video with reporters, which he got from the neighboring drug store.

    Daniel says that’s him, in the parking lot, walking out to his white car in the middle of the screen.

    But he walks past it as he was taunted by the mask-less men.

    “They kept berating me with expletives, calling me a snowflake and it’s not science, it’s a hoax,” said Troublefield.

    Looking back, Daniel says he wishes he ignored them.

    “To my regret, I walked up to the car, I was trying to explain it is science and they should be wearing a mask because they’re endangering me and everyone else in the store by not having a mask on,” said Troublefield.

    That’s when things escalated even further

    “The gentleman tapped on my chest. And I flipped up his hat, and that’s when they both got out of the car,” said Troublefield.

    2. Looking back, Daniel says he wishes he ignored them.

      Perhaps he will remember that next time he feels compelled to lecture burly strangers, and mind his own business.

      1. I suggest that the next time there are mostly peaceful rioters burning some street down, that he go and lecture them on social distancing and wearing masks.

  29. Biden is a traitor to this Country and if he gets in the White House than this takeover by enemies of America will be allowed.
