President Biden: The NEW one and only politics thread

UPDATE: Well, come to find out my neighbor's house, Zestimated at less than $900k, sold for...$1.2 million, and it's a bit smaller (but younger) than my house. He got 14 offers and the buyer made a ridiculous bid. The Manhattan-based buyer didn't see the house until the inspection which itself produced a 72-page report, down to removing the moss from the roof of the backyard shed. I laughed but my neighbor, a retired locomotive engineer, said he felt obligated by the buyer's purchase premium.

In 1998 when the world was young, I bought my yet-to-be-listed place for less than $300k. And that was during a hot market when our realtor -- a schoolboy chum's mom -- showed it to us at night and insisted we decide then and there, pointing to another buyer coming up the front walk.

 

This is what's coming for the country if we ever let the GQP get their hands on the levers of power again.

We moved from a 2-bd/2-bath condo to a 4 bd 2,000 sq ft home last year, right at the dawn of the pandemic. We sold the condo in a bit of a rush, for $320k, because there was no way we could do both for long and who knows how long the market would be a mess, right? This was all March 2020, after all.

One exactly like it with some very modest remodeling just sold for $465.

Kind of goes to show you how much having money can make money. If we'd have been comfortable sitting on that condo for a year, we may have profited $100,000 or more, and we'd have been able to rent it out for $2,500/mo that whole time. Who the fuck knew that in March of 2020, though.

At the same time, our home is supposedly worth 50% more than we paid, so no complaining here. It's all just mindboggling though.

 

I'm reasonably certain this is unconstitutional. Whether or not the court will agree with that remains to be seen.

 

I’d love to know what the questionnaire asks.
How long will it be?
What are the consequences for refusing/forgetting to fill it out?
What if the Business school doesn’t have enough libruhls?
So many questions.
