When the crash comes they are probably too busy using those savings to stay afloat after losing jobs. You'd be an idiot to invest unless your in a super stable job or confident you can find another quick in a recession. I've been

Most of that is the poorer side. Due to violence in poorer neighborhoods, less blue collar work, and ironically higher rents in some poorer "hip" neighborhoods. Many high rises under construction here....they aren't building

If the zoning laws werent there, they would be building new buildings(like they currently do in china. Hence the term ghost cities) instead of investing in overpriced existing stock.

This is bad but much more significant is restrictive zoning laws. I live in downtown chicago where rents are reasonable and skyscrapers for living at everywhere. Meanwhile, you gotta move heaven and earth to build high density housing in so

Same here....I suspect it's middle and lower managers that will be first to be obliterated. Cashiers don't simple run the register, they do other stuff. Janitors fix stuff and carry heavy boxes, etc. Managers and supervisors? Over

As a former airbnb host, I feel these problems are due to existing bad policies on new construction or zoning unless the city has a huge boom in tourism and not enough hotels. It's a reflection easily corrected though(more hotels). I&#

That's resale companies that recycle or sell used goods. They often won't take pure trash on junk that can't be sold(food waste).

The reason direct contact fails is due to the contract sellers repped by an agent sign: voiding the contract by going around they're back still is a fee. It lasts 6 months or so...after it fails to sell, you should be good assuming the

Actually some would prefer no agent buyers due to contract arrangement. For example, the buyer and seller will split commission but in some cases one side can collect all of it.

I assume most folks hire an inspector or appraiser before signing the final line? I agree real estate agents are way too trusted. The good ones are great but any moron or scumbag can get a license.

I can't see why they're can't be a uber human driver option or you can simply ask from a cart boy to help with groceries. Heck, with amazon groceries and other similar services, why do they even need to go to the store?
