Naïve observers blame the corporate landlords for the rising prices and rents. And, so, now, at several levels of government, bills are being proposed to exclude these buyers from the market. If we can keep Wall Street money out of local housing markets, prices will go back down. This is true. Rents, then, would continue to go up.
This is worrisome. This is the last round of the vicious cycle.

Let’s review our national devolution. In turns, we have restricted:

• All housing in a few key metro areas.
• Multi-family or infill housing in every major metro area.
• Single-family mortgaged entry level homes in every major metro area. And now, potentially,
• New single-family rental homes.

That is all the forms of housing, short of tents and underpasses. We are one step away from legislating mass homelessness.

I would actually say that North America is *the* safest area in the world to be Jewish, though I do get the "safety in numbers" argument for Israel. Europe is also mostly not bad, most of the time.

True but europe?
say that to a jew pre-1945 hell actually no pre-1991 since the soviets were pretty anti-semitic
Europe have been possibly one of the most unsafes places to be jewish before the 21st century and even now it starting to look like with the increasing hate crimes against jews, this chapter of jewish safeness in europe will just be a weird few decade blip for europe if it continue at this rate

My prediction?
Trump does a rally in nyc and get a decent/large crowd and well basically all news will cover this and this will probably bump trump numbers up in the entire eastern seaboard
So generally it help trumps number up a good bit

bumping.

Conservative has conservative opinions and shares them with audience at conservative venue. News at 11.

Really pointless and kinda annoying to get worked up about this stuff. Yes, I'm sorry, there are many people in the country who disagree with you, and some of them have opinions that are quite gross. It's not worth it to fight against every single one of them once they get a microphone.

I really try never to be a conspiracy theorist, but that's at least not helpful in that cause. Certainly extremely unfortunate.

Boeing whistleblower John Barnett died by suicide, according to a police report released on Friday, bringing to end an investigation of the shocking death of a longtime employee who raised concerns about the airplane manufacturer’s safety and production standards – and who sued the company, claiming Boeing illegally retaliated against him.

Barnett, 62, was found dead in a vehicle on March 9 from a self-inflicted gunshot wound in Charleston, South Carolina. Officers had been dispatched to conduct a welfare check on Barnett at a Holiday Inn when he failed to show up to a deposition in his case against Boeing, according to his lawyers and a police incident report.

When they arrived, responding officers found Barnett dead in the driver’s seat of a truck in the parking lot. He was holding a handgun. The initial police report also said there was a note in the truck.

But Barnett’s lawyers said in a statement following his death that his deposition was nearing an end and he appeared to be in good spirits.

“We didn’t see any indication he would take his own life. No one can believe it,” his lawyers, Robert Turkewitz and Brian Knowles, said in a statement on March 12. “The Charleston police need to investigate this fully and accurately and tell the public what they find out.”

The Charleston Police Department on Friday concluded their investigation into Barnett’s death, saying the Charleston County Coroner’s Office determined that Barnett had killed himself.

The investigation found that Barnett was shot in the head at close range and the weapon was found in his right hand. There was also a notebook found in the front seat of the car that showed signs that “he was going through a period of serious personal distress,” according to a media release about the police investigation.

Police shared with CNN an image of a note left in the car, which had multiple disparaging messages directed at Boeing.

Though they are now on a definite downward trend south of the border.
