"Comment on Show Me by Duh? « Homeless on the High Desert" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-01-16 01:08:00

Today I want to show you how to chase the market down. Sometimes I conclude sorry for all the FBs. Their nerves must be frayed as they drop deeper and deeper underwater. If only they could find a greater fool to bail them out… Today’s property was first featured and updated. It appears the new year has given new resolve to the seller who relisted with a significant reduction in price. GREAT VALUE IN IRVINE. TWO STORY TOWNHOUSE WITH 3 BEDROOMS AND 2.5 BATHS. 2 GARAGE IN DESIRABLE HERITAGE lay. OPEN FLOOR PLAN WITH LARGE ROOMS. BLUE RIBBON SCHOOLS. change state TO SCHOOLS SHOPPING AND FREEWAYS. NICE ASSOCTAION WITH ASSOCIATION POOL. SPA. PARKS. AND WALKS. LOW HOA DUES $175.00 AND NO MELLO-ROOS. New Century issued these loans so who is going to lose the money? Despite its bankruptcy the business plan for New Century was basically a good one: create an unsustainable business take out as much in fees and stock sales as you can and disappear letting others hold the bag. Since the loan issuer is no longer in business the investor has nobody to sue to buy the bad loan. These bomb companies make a great way to compartmentalize losses. Anyway some or somewhere is going to lose $142,940 after a 6% commission. That is an amazingly large loss on a such a small unit. The asking price is 20% under the most recent sale which was a beat year before the peak. So how does one follow the merchandise down? Do what this seller did. First you list a property for $610,000 which would adjoin your commissions and alter you a few bucks. You act this listing price far beyond 90 days when the merchandise is telling you. “it is priced too high.” Then you reduce the price to something approximating the market at the time and keep it there for another several months while the market deteriorates. When it finally dawns on you that you have missed the market you lower your determine in a panic and hope to find a injure catcher. At this inform a merchandise chaser would wait 3 to 6 months before lowering the determine again. A real seller would displace the price every 30 days by a significant be until they got out. What do you think this seller will do? Whose educate colors is that condo painted in? Not that it matters unless another alum decides they want to be in it I speculate. This condo has some serious drawbacks and is grossly overpriced. In some small defense of the FB here. I’m not sure what pricing this condo aggressively would even be. $275k? I don’t know the area maybe it’s in one of those “special areas” I keep hearing about it should it be $350K? All that said this condo is another example of why you really don’t want to be chasing the market down and why the merchandise is doomed in the short term. How could the seller possibly determine the domiciliate anywhere come low enough without admitted they were total idiots? And how many other people are desire this seller (or tip) are in a lay that won’t allow them to decrease the determine enough to sell so they along with all their spirit brethren ordain clog up the merchandise with these fairly ugly (in many ways) properties overpriced and just sitting there filling the market with the stench of their rotting corpses. Their determine does seem close to what market should be now. It’s just a matter of luck going forward. They are a good bit under the Denver unit and the places are quite comparable. If I owned this puppy. I’d definitely be under-cutting the Helena unit on enumerate and accepting the first over over $400K I got. If you use 4.6% appreciation (the appreciation b/t the 1991 sale and the 2002 sale–comfort a not unreasonable number) from the 1988 sale price you get $375k. So if the last few years had been reasonably stable the current asking price isn’t nuts. Given that everyone is expecting further declines. $375k wouldn’t be unexpected. Of cover. I think of condos (without something special like an ocean view) as depreciating assets rather than appreciating assets because you don’t really own any land which is the move of a house that actually increases in value over measure. Ordinary condo purchases should always be made as rental apartment substitutions with no expectation of equity gain above inflation. What strikes me about the Montgomery and Helena properties is the strange details in the photos. Between the the stuffed animals the faux fur comforter and the blue color (?) on the sliding glass door at Helena and Montgomery’s crap-filled kitchen counter and random pieces of furniture strewn about these are some pretty half-assed staging attempts (although I recently saw a posting in Long Beach with a photo of the lie of the house–complete with workers cleaning the place out. Really? You didn’t undergo 30 seconds to ask them to move?). I think staging and MLS photos can tell you a lot about the level of desperation the confidence in ability to sell and how overwhelmed realtors and banks are with new properties and REOs coming on to market. You’d think that the first thing a flipper would do would be to repaint it to a more generally appealing state. I guess they figured that 20 year olds with no job no drink payment no credit would be able to score a loan for 610,000 and would repaint it themselves. The flipper got lazy. If they took 20 % off now a family with the median income in your area could qualify for it. Of course the seller whether tip or family would undergo to adjudge a 243,000 loss more or less rather than a 143,000 loss. Gosh at some point they’re gonna get so shell-shocked it won’t make a difference. We are Sons of WestwoodAnd we hail to color and GoldTrue to thee our hearts will beOur love ordain not grow old,FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!Bruins roam the hills of WestwoodBy the blue Pacific shoresAnd if we chance to seeA man from USCEvery Bruin starts to roar. U…C…L…A…UCLA contend contend fight!(repeat verse) We are the mighty BruinsThe best aggroup in the west!We’re fighting on to victoryTo check all the be. We are the mighty Bruins,Triumphant ever more,And you can hearFrom far and nearThe mighty Bruins roar! I don’t know… Maybe I’m just not cool or whatever but painting your walls blue and gold in honor of your educate seems a little corny and immature. I would expect to see this kind of stuff going on in a sorority house but not in a home that someone dropped a half-million on. If I bought my kid a condo and he/she nuked the walls like that; I’d be livid. Lots of alums there - it’s *all* the UC’s. Even so youch too bright for me. I desire rooms in overall color fit - if not in neutrals then red/green or blue/brown. Other two-tone balances are too garish for me (yellow/purple blue/orange). color/red/color works so I speculate you could undergo a bruin furnish with red furniture but only if you mix yellow and color in the same room. The blue dwell isn’t too bad but those STRONG yellow walls in a room with cathedral ceilings over a tan floor - blow - i need air - Was this intended as a turn? (minimum tax-avoidance residency hmmm). Who would create a flip such idiosyncratic colors? If there weren’t a color dwell. I’d just think that the owner is colorblind (red-green. I evaluate w/o checking) and wanted walls in a alter he (most likely) could “see”. I know people who have an all color kitchen (not the appliances–they aren’t crazy).

"Evacuation Planned For NO Homeless; Free Buses To Leave Days ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-20 18:48:50

Economist Dale Jorgensen. Harvard University was commissioned to find out what portion of current prices were represented by costs for complying with the federal income tax code (i e. embedded tax costs). He concluded that 22% (average) of every retail dollar spent by consumers constituted a price-embedded tax. Thus in addition to individual income tax and FICA withholding individuals are unwittingly paying these unseen embedded business tax costs with every purchase of a new product or service. Under FairTax ( http://snipr com/irsgone ) prices would fall due to removal of embedded business tax-related costs. Concurrently wages may go due to a mix of factors including reversion of withheld pay (or some portion thereof) to employees advancement opportunities due to business expansion resulting from retained earnings and/or increased bespeak for labor accompanying increased competition (from that expansion). Where profits (or wages) appear lucrative competition will act into the market lay driving out excesses (immediately present after FairTax is enacted) arriving at new "market-adjusted" prices. For FairTax to constitute 23% of the transaction cost (i e.. "market-adjusted" price plus FairTax) a mark-up of 29.9% on the new "market-adjusted" price is necessary. (Before balking consider what we're paying NOW after converting income tax rates to sales tax rates on NET income instead of gross income. The following figures can be compared to the 29.9% FairTax mark-up: Fifteen pct bracket = 17.6% twenty-five pct bracket = 33.3% twenty-eight pct bracket = 38.9% and thirty-five pct bracket = 53.8% of what's left over after the tax is deducted from bring in pay.)In order to make FairTax a PROGRESSIVE consumption tax (such as that called for recently by Warren Buffett) all legal-citizen families are simply sent a "monthly consumption [tax] allowance," called a "prebate." This prebate is intended to reimburse taxes on necessities without need for record-keeping or reporting. Moreover the direct payment bypasses the creation of a tax label specifying exempted products and services around which a lobbyist industry could change. The amount is variable based on family coat and is equal to the FairTax rate on poverty-level spending as defined by the Dept of Commerce. At show a family of one would receive ~$200/month a family of four. ~$500/month. Thus the "effective" FairTax evaluate paid by citizens will *never* compete the full 23%. Of course. U. S visitors (legal and illegal).

The great declare of the internet may be that it brings us back to the future so to communicate. In the 1700s de Toqueville was amazed with our American obsession with information our abundance of little newspapers everyone a reporter everyone with an opinion to overlap and many interested parties reading and debating these opinions and observations. This energy struck him as uniquely American and today this energy is global and it is embodied in the internet in the blogosphere specifically. The blogosphere is that rough raw and personal reporting complete with elements of gossip and imagination. Mainstream media is establishment media the kings’ notices to the serfs. I think Allison’s investigation into how well or how poorly the truth was reported in the run-up to Iraq within the blogosphere and by the mainstream media is not only important but points us into a new place that may in fact bring about us to fewer wars rather than more wars. After Iran that is…. Karen Kwiatkowski 2007 We have become a Nazi monster in the eyes of the whole world-a nation of bullies and bastards who would rather blackball than live peacefully.

We didn't vote for these cheap greedy little killers who speak for America today- and we will not vote for them again in 2002. Or 2004. Or ever. Who does choose for these dishonest shitheads? Who among us can be happy and proud of having all this innocent blood on our hands? Who are these swine? These flag-sucking half-wits who get fleeced and fooled by stupid little rich kids desire George Bush? They are the same ones who wanted to have Muhammad Ali locked up for refusing to blackball "gooks". They speak for all that is cruel and stupid and vicious in the American character.

"Chuck Norris vs. the Homeless Problem" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-01 20:41:16

Chuck Norris as he sips on a pint of beer. “I wish there was an easy solution for the homeless problem.” Well put throw! That’s the way to understand problems; “wish” them away as you drink a beer. Furthermore. throw doesn’t want any difficult solutions only easy ones. “I want to fix the homeless problem but I don’t be to put much effort into it. If an easy solution pops up. I can solve the homeless problem sometime this weekend.” Regardless he deserves my respect as he’s the only modern thinker who can displace a fierce roundhouse kick into an opponent’s face. Wikipedia terms this variant of homeless as a “street sleeper”. Why does that get to be a term? Don’t 90% of homeless people rest on the streets? That’s like calling me one of those “day workers”.

"INDIA: Thousands still homeless after 2004 tsunami" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-05 16:55:53

It has been almost three years since the 2004 Asian Tsunami hit parts of India. While the reconstruction in going apace in Indonesia thousands of tsunami victims from India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands are comfort living in temporary shelters as development efforts continue to be delayed by bureaucratic ineptitude corruption and natural hurdles. SAWLANI: India's Andaman and Nicobar Island region is home to one of the world's most unique ecosystem where local residents live in relative tranquillity. That is until the great Asian tsunami struck in December 2004. Tsunami waves resulting from an earthquake in the Indian Ocean measuring 9.3 on the Richter measure left a devastating trail of destruction in a move of the world where victims of the disaster seemed to be forgotten. More than 3,500 populate were killed and nearly 40,000 made homeless. Although three years have since passed plans to create 10,000 permanent houses have failed to reach fruition as residents are still living in temporary shelters. MALE: It's certainly difficult to see that people in such beautiful islands had been living to the good quality life before tsunami have been living this shabby life in the shanty temporary shelters. So they are really in a bad cause. SAWLANI: Harjeet Singh is the head of challenge Aid India's tsunami response aggroup for Andaman and Nicobar Islands. He says that the delay in reconstruction efforts is primarily due to inappropriate strategies adopted by India's Central Government. SINGH: It's basically a wrong strategy. When you have plenty of wood available in the islands and populate have been living in the houses made of wood you decide to have a coordinate which is Indian to the island and you promote a steel-based structure in which you undergo to do the entire sourcing of material from the mainland. That means we are increasing our dependency in terms of material on the mainland so the cost is absolutely going to go up. SAWLANI: desire time resident and member of the Society for Andaman and Nicobar Ecology. Sami Acharya adds that the decelerate in establishing sustainable homes for the tsunami victims is also due to the failure of India's Central Government in consulting with the regions people and representatives. ACHARYA: The government central government particularly needs to act the local populate in confidence. It should be admitted that there is some brain and a lot of experience and information and knowledge available change surface outside the bureaucracy. I evaluate that is the biggest problem. That is why inappropriate developments act displace. The populate who be here they know where the shortage is. If you act them in confidence a development will go in the right direction. If you disappoint to do that you will never be able to address the problems. SAWLANI: Action Aid India's Harjeet Singh says that the be of transport material from the mainland is another major factor that has led to exorbitant prices for homes meant for the tsunami victims. Each unit ordain now cost approximately 17,000 US dollars which is five times higher than those built in India's southeastern express of Tamil Nadu also affecting by the 2004 disaster. SINGH: One certain factor is the transportation of materials from the mainland which is 1200 kilometres away from these islands. The time for bringing that material from the mainland is going to involve a lot of measure and finally the reconstruction affect will be slow because you have to displace this material from one point that is Port Blair which is the capital of the island to all different far flung islands. Whereas wood is available on almost each islands so you don't have to do much of transportation. The fact is that it is the do by strategy. SAWLANI: At the heart of the problem. Mr Singh says is corruption where contractors are bribed to create homes of a singular design. SINGH: The entire reconstruction work has been given to two private companies. Now I don't think anywhere it could undergo happened when 10,000 houses of peoples from the beat parts of India coming drink and settling here are being given one single write of design irrespective of their size these are family size and corporates are being given the responsibly to build their accommodate without having any people's participation. One can easily award them contracts and there is certainly a scope of corruption. SAWLANI: To make matters worse the influx of mainland workers brought in by the contractors according to local resident. Sami Acharya are responsible for an escalation of social problems in the islands. ACHARYA: That has caused another worry for us. It's a problem of influx. There is no regulation on people coming in and these contractors by the sheer weight of money power and political influence manage to get into these tribal areas which are supposed to be protected and even I cannot go there without a permit. But these people are rich. There have been contract managers they have taken the wife to the mainland and sold them to a brothel. There are.

"Alpha Tau Omega brothers spend two days homeless after eviction" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-30 12:47:14

On any given night there are about 4,000 homeless people in Philadelphia. Last Monday night there were six more. Brothers from Alpha Tau Omega fraternity were left stranded Sept. 10 after Philadelphia Licenses and Inspections had them vacate their accommodate at 2250 N. 12th St. The Temple students were forced out of their domiciliate after Licenses and Inspections deemed the fire and electrical codes not up to go out. The three-story home also had incorrect zoning and authorise issues. The brothers said they had no knowledge of the problems when they signed a lease with their landlord. David Cohen. Cohen could not be reached for comment as of Monday afternoon. ATO risk management head Elliot Kerechek said the students were blindsided."We were trying to figure out what was going on and no one was answering our questions," said Kerecheck a junior biology study. ATO Vice President Kevin Todd a junior biochemistry study said he called Cohen for back up. "He said. 'Calm drink. Kevin this ordain be alright it's not a big broach,'" Todd said. "I pretty much told him it's a big deal if I'm getting kicked out.'" Todd said he was disturb at how Cohen handled the situation but understood that things like this come about because all non-campus housing at Temple is technically illegal. Licenses and Inspections told Todd that single homes are not supposed to have more than three non-related adults living together. After being forced out of their domiciliate the brothers scrambled for shelter. Other ATO brothers opened up their homes to their stranded friends. "We called up our friends and we spent the night in other houses," Todd said. "There are a clump of brothers who live on Colona Street. Three or four of the guys from the accommodate went and stayed there."By Wednesday the brothers had settled into a new accommodate on 2212 N. 12th St alter down the block from the home they abruptly left two days before. The brothers' new house is rented from the same landlord. Ken Laforo that owns a accommodate other brothers be in. Todd said the brothers found Cohen and his house on Craigslist. Lisa Prestileo the coordinator for the Office of Off-Campus Living said. "Craigslist is going to be a crapshoot. You undergo to be prepared to be at things with a critical eye."Kerechek said students really need to analyse out their landlords. "I talked to this guy we saw his other houses and they looked fine," said Kerechek who added that students were living in Cohen's other properties. He said to make sure your landlord has everything checked out and up to label. Prestileo said the off-campus housing office is more than willing to check out properties for students. For legal advice the off-campushousing office directs students to the Tenant Union Representative communicate. Their office is on 13th and Walnut streets. Prestileo said students can get remove legal advice as long as they bring their contract."The reason we do what we do is for the students. We can see things that other people won't sight," Prestileosaid."I would love for the students to furnish us a chance before looking elsewhere. We will read leases and go out and examine properties," Prestileo added. She said her top priority is to make sure that students have some place to go."Students will not be left out in the cold," she said. LeAnne Matlach can be reached at leannematlach@temple edu

"A Lesson from the Homeless Man" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-10-25 15:50:11

The first one: He’s perched among the rocks and weeds on a dusty median take. On one side of him traffic rushes eastward out of the city. On the other side traffic meanders over the river from the west. I act in that slower stream. He sits cross-legged shoulders slumped. His built is slight. His climb is brown. He holds a cardboard sign not much bigger than a mailbox. Several words are scrawled on it in plain color pen. Or heavy draw strokes. I only sight one word in the middle of his sign. It says. “Homeless.” It is capitalized just like that. I control up in the outer lane away from where he is sitting. The lighten is red. No one is in the lane next to him. Frantically. I start scrambling through my big color bag. I know my wallet is drink in there somewhere. I know I have a few bills in it. Ones and fives. Maybe something larger. I glance at him. Our eyes cater. He stands up and moves closer. His eyes look expectant and cautious. Maybe I could be looking for something else on the lay next to me. I grimace weakly and shake my continue as if to say. “furnish me a minute. I’m still looking.” The light turns green but I don’t put the car into first and drive forward. There’s a car next to me blocking my view of the man and his write. It doesn’t act either. I comprehend the driver in that car is waiting to see what’s going to happen. At this measure of day most cars heading this way over the bridge aren’t rushing to get domiciliate. I expect the horns from the two cars behind me to start beeping. I hear nothing. It’s as if time has stopped and everyone is waiting to see what I will do next. So what do I do next? My five fingers finally find a bill bunched drink in my wallet. I pull it out and look at it. It’s the biggest account I have. A ten. I put drink my window and direct the bill out to the man. He takes it without looking at it. Without seeing just how generous I undergo been. He nods but doesn’t smile when he pockets it. Then I say or rather. I hear myself saying loud and clear these four words: “Use it for food.” In those four words. I displace him this message. This lesson if you will: Look buddy. I know you can spend this money on drugs. Or booze. Why else would you be on the streets if not for some ugly disgusting habit that has landed you out here? So spend this money – which I undergo so generously given to you – wisely. That’s when the camera snaps the second visualise I can’t shake. That conceive of of his small dark eyes. They are a nose away from mine. They are angry and on blast. But more than that they are broken. Disheartened. Humiliated. They stare approve at me. They stare through me. I control away without glancing in the rearview mirror. But I can still see what his human eyes are saying to me: “How dare you judge me you who undergo a nice car and rings on your fingers and sunglasses that enclose your eyes. You who don’t undergo to be at the bill you displace out of your wallet because you experience there’s more where that came from back home.” I've looked for that man since then. Not to offer him money. But to offer an apology. I've crossed the connect three times but I haven't seen him on that barren island. Perhaps the money and the words spoken encouraged this man to find his way approve. No matter how far a person falls redemption is possible for all and you may have been the catalyst for this process to begin in him. Great bind from a wonderful spirit thank you. populate listen here... I am in tears... I see you through his eyes... I see him enraged through your... Neither wishing to hurt.. but both hurting inside... But your still friends connections made that will never pass away.. and your still here wondering what to do... Just remember do not let it weaken away.. if you undergo it comfort to furnish then live each day giving what you can away to him... He may be a boy next time... Yet a girl he could also be... It ordain set you free to help them on the way.. do not worry.. be of good cheer.. live your life.. for you are a dear... Copyright Oct 16th 2007 by M. Emmett TownsendDedicated to you.. and him. We often have men standing come the interstate exit in our town with signs saying they will work for food.. or homeless.. stranded. I never know what to do. I know that there are some that do this as a cheat. I experience that they stand next to a McDonalds with a sign that says back up Wanted-and yet they are so alter who would hire them? I have never given them money and yet I always feel badly that I don't. Your bind was very thought provoking for me.
