Home values are driven by the cost of living?

I think you may have cause and effect reversed.

Terror above Seventh Ave.: Construction crane collapses in midtown Manhattan as Hurricane Sandy storms into New York City
As the broken crane dangled from the 70th floor, records show that inspectors were investigating hydraulic fluid leaks and rope defects in recent months. One57 is a 90-story skyscraper that will have sweeping views of Central Park and a $115 million penthouse.

(the crane is 70 stories up...)




If this thing falls we will have to hunt Sandy down and kill her.

Wow, now you're making progress.

Anyone doing radio tonight?

Sure thing, Tubby. That shit would fly here if DC was an undesirable shithole like Macon. 4 million in the metro area say you're a fucking idiot, but like that needs repeating.

How are your wife and my kids doing?

Florida wouldn't be so bad if there were so many Floridians living there.

All the animals come out at night - whores, skunk pussies, buggers, queens, fairies, dopers, junkies, sick, venal. Sandy will come and wash all this scum off the streets.

Why is it that a staunch free-enterprise-because-I'm-free hack doesn't have a clue as to how a market works? Your home in Sugar Land is cheaper because no one wants to fucking live there. But nice excuse to get in some tearjerker about the government ruining your life.

Wow you don't read much. The government isn't ruining my life. They do add extra regulations in the NE which add to the cost of living. It also added to the cost of my homes in MA and PA.

No surprise you are clueless on who wants to live where too. Houston is the 4th largest city and 5th largest core based statistical area. Additional seats in the US House also says you aren't paying attention.

Again for you slow people, the reason home values are higher is because of the higher cost of living. This higher cost is also driven by population density. NYC has over 27,000 people per square mile, Chicago 11,800 per sq/mile, LA is over 8K per sq/mile and Houston is 3,500 per sq/mile.

Wow, breathless. I'm clueless because I said population drives supply and demand in the real estate market and you counter with no, population drives supply and demand. Otherwise, great, Houston's a large city. Get back to me when Texas as a whole resembles the NE corridor or when you have something more substantial than "cost of living creates higher housing prices" as your argument against real estate being more expensive in that part of the country even though you're saying the same thing. I'm happy you glommed onto some alternative definition of value as the materials used to construct a house but unfortunately everyone else in real estate defines it differently than you.

Also, your whining about media coverage is adorable, especially because you think they only want to cover this particular storm because it's a coming for them rather than it's going to affect the most important part of the country, economically speaking. Or did you just think they randomly set up HQ in NYC? Here's a thought experiment for you: mention Oklahoma City to any rando from the Dakotas and then mention 9.11. See which one gets them more worked up, if they even know what you mean by OKC.

Once again, mother nature reminds us that living at 5 ft above sea level is not a particularly smart thing to do. I guess the shoreline, particularly at the west end of long island sound got buttfukked in the mouf pretty bad. Here inland, nuthin'. A little windy, not all that much rain. Garden hose and ext cords in yard didn't move an inch.

Apparently the surfing conditions on Lake Michigan are pretty good this morning thanks to Sandy. I hope that bitch keeps this track. If so, it ought to mudslide Mikeye's place into the pacific ocean, sometime this weekend.

So, 50-60MPH winds and heavy rains and surf are a big deal to these folks who Darwin hates?

Man, I haven't seen conditions like that since...

yesterday.

Would have kept fishing if the rivers didn't blow out (that means "approach flood stage" to you greenhorns).

Just a little rain, right.

Agoraphobic? Use big words you don't understand much? How very Whiteyesque of you.

Thankfully, loser, I can afford to drink whatever beer I want. I have significant stock of both of these:


IPA and Double IPA

This liberal rag says Sandy shouldn't affect the economy too much.

You do see that it is an Associated Press story right...but published in a liberal rag that refuses to endorse a candidate for President this year after endorsing Obama in 2008...

That is big time shit for the weather pussies, something to make them complain.

Looks like Friday is the day I will be on the river this week.

Was thinking friday or saturday (too freaking crowded on weekends, though). Might even do the Kilchis to avoid some of the crowds.

We were on the tidewater of the Poor White Trask sunday... a little color, but fairly decent shape... and the fish were few and far between.

Rained so freaking hard sunday night, when we woke up on the Kilchis (that free lodging ends this week, a major bummer), all the pastures were full. Went and checked out Carnahan Park for shits-and giggles, and the brown water was up to the top of the boat ramp... at low tide.

On the way home, the Wilson was rippin. Hung out at Jones Creek (they went nuts fixing that place up), had some beers, and treated some tourists from Atlanta to some smoked fish... they were happy. What we didn't do was fish, since it was at about 9 feet when we showed up. Looked to be dropping and clearing fast, but it's supposed to rain a bunch more for a couple of days in The Range... but the forecast looks like friday or saturday. While there's little sign of them, you can't tell me some fish didn't come through on that blast... even if they were still in the ocean... they've got 3-4 days to go wherever.

The coho runs sure suck this year, but since it wasn't too many years ago we couldn't fish them at all, I won't complain about one off year.

Really? I'm probably one of the last people you could apply it to, you wet-brained fucktard.

So the power will be out for a few days, huh? That tends to happen when a hurricane blows through. Are you really surprised at that fact? What did you think was going to happen? Geez...buncha wimps.

The proper term is "turd herding". Or one who does such work is a "turd herder."

Actually it would apply to those you work with too.
