Mom and pop housing providers have been begging for a seat at the table for years. We are the largest segment of rental property ownership yet excluded from policy discussions. Instead, policy makers have relied on tenant "advocate" lobbyist insulated by their DC white papers.
Every time here in the Gary burbs that grew from 1968 until 2020. Now, they're opposed to any new housing near their newer housing. When they're proud enough to print their opinion on the local paper, I print the facts about their housing being built without protest.
The country is done with you bmw bolsheviks cosplaying communism, I didn't even listen to Kirk before, but now, we're all him. You'd all laugh the same if someone offed a landlord, like me, too. Own it.
It's interesting to see @debra_kamin tap dance this piece on Pope Leo Dolton home. What happens to home values when they're rare, Debra? Go on, finish the thought...
It's not realtor commissions that determine home values. It's supply and demand. Funny how she never mentions.
Leo Lived Here: The Price Goes Up for the Pope’s Childhood Home
"It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be the broker to represent the seller who owns the pope's childhood home."

.@nytimes won't publish this, it interferes with the Lina Con pushed by @debra_kamin that Realtor commission determine home values. Everyone knows it's supply and demand. Yet debra took another swipe last week, and it was wrong as ever. Kudos @BHHSRE Chris Kelly.
In an op-ed for REALTOR® Magazine, HomeServices of America President and CEO Chris Kelly says that a recent podcast draws incorrect conclusions about broker compensation—and at times gets facts wrong. bit.ly/44NX15R
Such a scathing story she had to get quotes from zillow shills Rob Hahn and Jay Thompson, while pretending they're just concerned citizens. This is why Trump won the election, because former institutions like NYT are now just pushing narratives. How much did costar pay for this?
White cosplay commies living in the north side who look just like weiner insist the children living on the south side embrace Tren de Aragua gang members living in their already very dangerous hood. You can fuck off, weiner.
People lose their minds because it's not a valid argument. It would be valid if you said every dollar I spent building my own house, saved money on homeownership. In your example, it's no saving whatsoever, just a substitute.
They've been telling me I should die for the crime of renting housing to people. I'm a third generation broker owner of a small real estate office that leases free market housing to people earning less than $40k/yr. They'd prefer I die, the govt take the housing. Great people.
You build the condos to free up the single family housing. If you build none, there's no where for retirees to move, so they remain in their single family homes. Hence....
Aleela Taylor, a recent law school graduate in Miami, ripped down photos of Israeli children kidnapped by Hamas. When confronted, she said, "You're trying to shame me over civilians that have been murdered for decades...I don't give a f**k what you think I'm supporting" canarymission.org/individual…
BJ has been clear from the very beginning, he's rolling out the dsa playbook and you all need to sit back and see what happens. It hasn't worked anywhere else as crime and homelessness are worse than ever, but just shut up and trust BJ cause socialism going to work in Chicago.
Maybe they see what DSA policy has done to destroy other cities? Encouraging homelessness and crime isn't an attractive policy for people who actually live in those places. DSA doesn't have a stronghold in Chicago and will never survive Chicago politics.
Can't buy what you don't build. Funny, they stopped building right as the largest segment of household formation since the baby boomers just entered prime home buying age. We don't want revolutionary change. We want abundant housing like every our parents had. Build it.
Maybe they can do lawyers next. No way they're worth $300/hr. Talk about price fixing. Then, those mechanics all charge similar prices. Sup with that. And don't get me started on the veterinarians.
Im a third generation Realtor whose initials are NAR because our family was proud to be a Realtor. My nephew just got those same initials 2 years ago. You just rolled over and died to a marxist revolution on the 100-year anniversary of our preamble that warned this would happen.
Thank goodness 35% of the debt isn't an adjustable rate mortgage, and most borrowers have rates under 4%, the US is conservative compared to the rest of the world
Toll Brothers gets it, we need to build. Eliminate exclusionary zoning and cut out this tax on home owners. It seems electeds are just fine with housing values rising perpetually.
