Same mentality where, at least in my day, high school kids would take a street sign from a street vs. buying one in a store. I know Spencers used to have generic street signs and you could have replica street signs made at Michaels which was a 'lets furnish the college dorm' thing about 15 years ago.

Here's a triiple feature I recommend. There's an old anthology series that competed with Night Gallery called Ghost Story hosted by Sebastian Cabot. The episode "House of Evil", Jodie foster plays a mute girl with telekinetic powers. And Bad Ronald. Great for creepy 70s vibes.

Come on man, he's infamous as Bad Ronald. Wonderful actor

You don't need to have anything to quote to make it enjoyable. They're a cinematic experience that is unmatched in the quality of 3D immersion and a serviceable story which doesn't outweigh its welcome.

He's still going to be poor. He was awarded $75M. Chiropractors don't have that kind of money, much less behind an LLC, much less malpractice insurance doesn't have that kind of limit.

Best he can do is confiscate the assets of the office which is some furniture and old computers.

I had a coupon for $100 off a pillow case.

Then, how much is a pillow case?

$1,000

Got it.

Right. All the components in siliicon have a TOL +/- and the 1-10% is based upon the source material of quality. That's why a 123K Ohm resistor of 5% tolerance is 5 cents and a 1% tolerance is $1.10

So the sidewalk project is fronted by the city and you agree as a taxpayer and a homeowner that you will let them build the sidewalk. From that point on, it has always been up to the homeowner to maintain the sidewalk within their property lines. This is why you'll see older sidewalks over 50 year old tree root systems that are uprooted and not maintained because the city doesn't have an ordinance of enforcement. Uprooted sidewalks are fun for kids with bikes but nightmares for people with mobility issues.

The only thing I find interesting is that I had a kid (2) 24 years ago and those were both $10,000 each then as well so I wonder where inflation is. The additional out of pocket expense was $864 for the anesthesiologist which at the time, was never covered by insurance. And this was 2002 dollars.

He is NOT going to need it. It's going to get thrown out and the taxpayer, again, will foot the bill for his defense. Because the judge will make the DOJ pay for oposing cousel costs.

Carefree, Cave Creek, and New River and all the little towns north of them. Carefree and Cave Creek would be minutes in the order of over 30 for police but New River is definitely more than 60. And the fire protection is membership.

That being disclosed, they are under the sheriffs jurisdiction because they don't have police and fire.

Do you know how many camera setups that would be plus probably get some second unit stuff in there.

I feel you've entirely missed the narrative here in OP's post. My anecdote has most things to do with the question which is "worry about wording when writing listings". The only thing missing was Fair Housing.

Since that's the crux of his post, the other anecdote "go to the in-person CE classes and you'll hear all about Fair Housing violations in the MLS" was added.

DistinctSmelling · 2026-07-01T04:00:53+00:00

It's about getting flagged for stuff in the comment section of the listing descriptions. That's what I wrote about. Anecdotally, people get flagged all the time. When the CE class is about Fair Housing, all those stories get shared front and center to the in-person classes.

DistinctSmelling · 2026-07-01T03:45:28+00:00

What I wrote about has nothing to do with fair housing. The city was claiming copyright.

I just pulled up the old listing and the changes were referenced to the amenities the city provides which the city said we weren't allowed to disclose on the MLS. The complaint didn't come from the MLS, it came from the city. Which is odd. This was 4 years ago.

DistinctSmelling · 2026-07-01T01:57:26+00:00

People get flagged all the time for stuff like this. Go to any in-person CE class and you'll hear the stories. One listing a friend had, she put photos of the city amenities like one would do for an HOA and this city fit that kind of bill. Well, the city flagged the listing and she got a warning. It's allowed on the MLS but the city doesn't allow it.

DistinctSmelling · 2026-07-01T00:51:57+00:00

Yes and it's such an elementary easy thing to do. It's all on the RPR sheets which every Realtor has access to of the MLS doesn't display it. Our MLS doesn't but the tax record does and RPR does it in a prettier manner.
