WTF-Beta

Try cooking with no electricity, no range, no refrigerator, and no freezer... for a year. It's a small miracle I'm still alive.

I'm looking forward to doing intensive experimentation with shopping, cooking, and my diet, the universe willing, soon.

I saw a computer 3D model of what it will look like when it's finished. The ballroom is a very, very long rectangle, perpendicular to the White House, and will dominate the entire complex.

It looks 1000% better!

@Steve-Miller said in What do you think about this one?:

Looks nice!

I like the front windows.

I do too. I like the way they look and they're likely to be recent replacements given the looks of this place.

@Bernard said in What do you think about this one?:

I don't see a ballroom . . .

Looks really good. Nice room sizes. I can't get over the price. Why so low? (Up here, much smaller prefabs would be ~150K, nicer ones well over $200K).

The prices are amazing for the ones that are renovated and need nothing done to them!

Maybe I'll demolish 1/3 of it and build a ballroom.

Oh, wait!

They wouldn't give me a permit!

Thanks, everyone!

I forgot to mention this one has a wheelchair (or walker) ramp so that's desirable.

The prices have fallen dramatically. I don't know why because "affordable housing" in this metro region is a sad joke (so different than back in the day).

wtg, Yes. The trade war with Canada is the only logical reason I can think. Their vacation homes were about 1/2 the units here. This park actually removed its Canadian flag because Americans complained it should not be flown as high as the US flag. And then it disappeared. Can you believe that?

The Canadians never liked us because these were vacation homes for them (in a foreign country no less). They looked down on us (whatever). I imagine the trouble of crossing the border didn't help.

You can tell when a place has been well maintained.

This is kind of a big place for one person but it's my second choice now.

My 1 bedroom is still for sale. I went to look at it from the outside last night.

It will be a cash deal. There are still some at high prices. Im not interested in them.

I like the idea of not needing to go outside to do laundry. Who wouldn't?

It's on a good street. It has a luxury bathroom. The washer and dryer are inside. It had a lot of floor space.

It's a lot bordering a two lane road. It's the same road where the back gate is located. This proximity to the road isn't ideal but I could live with it as a trade off.

I'm not going to be doing any renovations. I have no interest at all.

and the ACA?

Have Democrats said specifically which part(s) of the cuts to the ACA they want reversed via a vis the cuts in the so-called 'big beautiful bill'?

What about the almost $1 trillion in cuts to Medicaid?

What about the equivalent cuts to Medicare?

I have a strong feeling that there's a lot we aren't being told.

That's good.

procrastinating sometimes because of mild depression and a chaotic domestic environment.

Wow.

We've had no Gulf Coast hurricanes so far. We've been very fortunate.

This narration is verbose and lacking precise details but you get the picture. I made it through a few minutes of it. The worst case scenario is happening if it's remotely accurate.

How tragic.

I hope it gets restored. Excellent thought. There are more important things happening in the world but this is a profound symbol of depravity.

True.

There's a feeling you get when you're living on a small island in a situation like this and you have no where to go-- it's a kind of existential terror. This situation makes me very sad.

But, Ax, it's not relevant if some people want to violate the Constitution. It takes rights away from everyone.

That is the strangest fascinator (?) I've seen and the ugliest.

Completely ruined, gone.

Thomas Jefferson originally built what has been demolished. This is an egregious demolition resulting in incalculable historical and cultural loss. I thought the ballroom was going to be attached to the White House. I was wrong.
