It's an intense place! I didn't like living there but I was 26 by that time. I think I could have appreciated more if I had been younger or older.

New Orleans - "Point of no return" -
22 styles of house we no longer buildInteresting!
The Second Empire, FTW! (j/k)

I want to meet the people who live in this houseI wouldn't want to see their heating bill.
The red bathroom sink is a crime.

New Orleans - "Point of no return"It's all messed up but a lot of the problems with are manmade.
As to New Orleans, of course, it's the terminus port city of the Mississippi River.
People aren't going to abandon it. It's just not going to happen it.
-
New Orleans - "Point of no return"That's a nice picture of the city after the levees were, um, taken out by the storm, um, no, um, well, whatever happened to them.
I had moved about a year before this happened.
I left because of the crime. It had the #1 homicide rate.
Avoiding the flood was a random bonus.

What do you think of this house?It looks like it will turn out to have been a good investment from the data provided.

New Orleans - "Point of no return"Well, it's already flooded once. Katrina wasn't because of the storm. Everything was fine the next morning. Until it wasn't. So, it will flood again? This time they won't be able to save it? People didn't relocate to higher ground since that city was founded by the French. They aren't going to start now.

Trump 2028Well, the election would have to be 100% rigged it he were to do that, and, win. There's no way he's electable.
Will he? I don't know. Yeah, he's a first born son, so it might seem logical, but I don't follow stories about him closely enough to know; I have to hit "stop" if I see his face.

Victory Day in Moscow won't be business as usualAnyone who underestimates Russia's military capabilities is an idiot.
But I guess we're meant to believe Ukraine is causing a crisis for the continued existence of Russia.
Ok, then.
The sainted Ukraine which massacred 100,000 Poles in 1943.
The absurdity of it all reminds me of Trump's military parade.
Maybe Cold War style military parades are just anachronistic and dumb.

Yum! -
Iran (Disclaimer-- the war, not the country)Well, the war isn't winnable. If one defines "a win" (and Trump has dementia; he hasn't defined "a win") then whatever "win" equals, it doesn't equal anything militarily realistic for the US.
I'd add Trump's doesn't have guts. He is a cognitively impaired con artist who is frightened half out of his mind that he will be assasinated by Iran.
The irony is Iran never planned to assasinate him until he assassinated Iran's head of state.
He isn't going to finish anything. He doesn't even know what he's trying to do let alone how to do it.

Iran (Disclaimer-- the war, not the country)Iran controls the strait. The conceit the US is policing it would probably be entertaining if it weren't abjectly pathetic.

US Federal Government construction requirements for Federal loans, 1943Link to videoI live in a mobile home (technical term, trailer-- colloquial term, mobile homes manufactured after c 1980 are technically manufactured homes).
I know a thing or two about it.
These home that were build in 1943 were not much different than manufactured homes today.
They were built cookie cutter style in suburban developments but used mass production and assembly line methods.
The result was the house would last the life of the mortgage if it was maintained well enough.
In contrast, the oldest inhabited house in Europe dates to c 1040.
I'm glad Florida has concrete block on concrete slab housing stock built between the '40's through the '70's.
The units in condo buildings are a steal because the market for sellers is bad and projected to get worse through this year.
The single family houses are still selling for very high prices.

Will Fetterman flip?My opinion is not an argument nor a disagreement with any other opinion expressed in this thread or in any other thread.
My opinion is Fetterman is a tool of the Israeli lobby. I think he's a fool and an ass, when he belligerently waves his Israeli flag, the flag of a foreign nation, at anyone and everyone, in the halls of Congress.
