I see no evidence that this home is even worth 250, 000.00. The materials are substandard, the build quality is shoddy to say the least. How big is that lot? Looks like it's sitting on a 1/4 acre at most. Who buys these jalopys?

Dragline Posted January 28, 2018 Posted January 28, 2018 I inherited my house. My Father bought it in 1980 for 45,000.00. It is currently valued at 165,000.00 but that took 38 years. When the rail is finally done this city will become a Boston bedroom community and the prices will go up quite a bit. I will sell it and move to a small country house where i will die in peace.

I'm just not into P.C. and call it like I see it. they have artificially inflated the lower mainland real estate market beyond comprehension. What you see in the vid is a "cheap" house for around here. I live a couple hrs from where this place is, but the trickle down effect has hit where I live and my house has skyrocketed almost $200 000 in just the last 2 yrs after pretty much being at the same level with normal minor increases for 22 yrs. Of course with these skyrocketing prices, property taxes are also skyrocketing, to the point quite a few seniors are having to sell out.... and 10 to one nobody will be living in that house anyways. Take a trip to Vancouver, you will be shocked. Where there used to be communities with family's and kids playing, is now just blocks and blocks of huge empty houses. The chinese buy them and just keep flipping them to each other, most of them don't even live in Canada, always at a profit, pretty much ruining the real estate market, and it has now hit the point where locals have been completely priced out of the market, for junk like this "2.4 mil" piece....my kid will never be able to afford a house where he grew up.... but like I said, they keep building them like this, and I keep getting paid to fix them.... here, have a look at this. we just got our property assessment last week. we bought in '94 for $126 000, right 'till 2014, normal small increases, then- BAM-O. and this is not for a fancy house, a new house, a big house, this is for a 980 sq ft house built in 1956 with 2 and a half bedrooms on an old city lot, 200x90. a little excessive don't ya think? wondering what property taxes will be next month.... yah-hoo Hmmm, I wish that our property taxes were that low.

He didn't actually indicate how much property tax he is paying - he just showed the evaluation which shows the value of his house. The actual tax depends on the tax rates of his town.

Tom Geiger Posted February 3, 2018 Posted February 3, 2018 (edited) The Eagles frenzy is in full gear here in the suburbs around Philly. All the electronic billboards on the highway mention Go Eagles! in the advertising this week. We went out to dinner tonight and there was a lot of Eagles sweatshirts in the restaurant. My chuckle came the other day... on my way home from work on the Pennsylvania Turnpike there was a tractor trailer that someone had written in the dirt on the back door... huge letters... three lines, actually pretty well done, the message must've been written in the dirt with a sponge or something. It read.... FLY EAGELS FLY Edited February 3, 2018 by Tom Geiger

I've suggested countless times (literally...so many times, I've lost count) to the flat-Earthers on youboob that all they need to do is walk to the edge and take a selfie. So far, nada. BUT... "Interest in the flat-Earth theory spiked when NBA player Kyrie Irving said in a podcast that he believed the Earth is flat. In September when rapper Bobby Ray Simmons Jr, otherwise known as B.o.B, launched a crowd-funding campaign to send satellites into orbit to determine the Earth’s shape. Also, Tila Tequila has said she thinks the planet is flat. Even UK celebrity Freddie Flintoff has come out in support of the outlandish theory." Celebrities CAN'T be wrong, right?

mk11 Posted February 7, 2018 Posted February 7, 2018 (from the pages of today's Grey Lady (nyt)... {...With the railway’s regular signal system inoperable, the Amtrak train would have navigated the track with help from a dispatcher at CSX, which owns and operates the railway in Cayce, S.C., just south of Columbus, Mr. Sumwalt said. Federal investigators interviewed the dispatcher on Monday but did not disclose what was said. Still, Mr. Sumwalt cautioned against casting all the blame for the accident on the crew that flipped the manual switch. He said that the Amtrak engineer on the train should have also noticed that the switch was positioned in the wrong direction...} ...Mr Sumwalt is described in the story as the chairman of the NTSB. He was apparently commenting on a train wreck that happened at 2:30 am involving a passenger train travelling at nearly 60mph that was deflected onto a side track containing a motionless freight train via a padlocked switch. Could be a reporter's misquote too... draw your own conclusions mike
