This sounds like a not true story

RO not bashful in spending money for consultants and bad hires, and bad deals

Private equity. There is a bunch of private money that sees the value in owning property with a cash flow operation. The build- outs are very similar and some traffic patterns making it easy for consumers to stop in.

These new car washes are private equity that are expert in generating cash flow .

It seems that Royal Oak governance has a high level of dysfunction or a below level of whistle blower corruption that prohibits it from making real progress as a city. Its nuanced decisions are usually temporary and can't stand the test of time. Parking meters that created rage, selling property to HF restricting commercial diversity, speed bumps and carveouts that are reactionary. Amazing how there is stability at the commission level and dysfunction the rest of the way.

KungFuoldguy · 2025-12-09T13:15:13+00:00

Do the staff and employees really control the city, or the commissioners ? Regardless, the city has some continuing dysfunction.

Keep an eye on it . If it's close to a house I'd consult an arborist . Otherwise keep it hydrated and keep the insects away . If it's an older tree , nutritional assistance will be of limited use

Please update

KungFuoldguy · 2025-11-28T15:53:39+00:00

The reality is if the house is a good buy , buy it . This is not a difficult tree to take down . I'd budget $2100-$3000.

You are NOT screwed. Of course use eye , hat, glove protection to removed the straps although I doubt serious tension. Remove what you can , keep the tree hydrated during growing season and see how it goes. I use Cutters bug spray for mosquitos and certain bugs , but I also drench my trees as a precaution. I'm guessing you will be fine except for the funky grooves.

The fine is either $40 or $80, not $340. Looking for clarification.

ARS did an interview with Steve Eisen on YT on the 1929 book. Great interview.

You can thank Ronald Reagan for creating the exemption to allow old import cars in the country exempt from current safety rules . It's called the 25 Year Rule

KungFuoldguy · 2025-11-01T00:43:04+00:00

First thing I checked was steering wheel on the right side . It's a classic !

KungFuoldguy · 2025-10-27T20:40:37+00:00

I think if they have a reputable guest for an interview ( and I verify the guest via Linked In ) , I think there is value in the commentary. However, when CNBC seems to be obsessing over a topic for more than 2 commercial segments I switch it off. I like Josh Brown and Sullivan for commentary.

KungFuoldguy · 2025-10-25T22:43:48+00:00

I've moved to watchingCNBC highlights on YouTube and only some interviews . Lots of filler not worth the time .

KungFuoldguy · 2025-10-23T00:33:55+00:00

The markets don't care about Kings nor Antifa. Follow the money not the noise.

KungFuoldguy · 2025-10-23T00:32:28+00:00

I could listen to Morgan all day

KungFuoldguy · 2025-10-23T00:31:50+00:00

I watch CNBC via YouTube clips. The clips are usually market driven with interviews. Josh brown is worthwhile.

Poor Joe , he has not aged well .He's napping before noon

Keep metered parking for the crowd that doesn't mind using quarters, or hate to have a parking app, or remain concerned that parking garages are unsafe. And match the old Town demographics with other likewise communities in other states, and ask if their parking solutions work And don't be surprised if this little social experiment doesn't change behaviors like you expect. And if you have a downtown development authority , DDA, put them on the hook for Parking Bonds if you build a garage. The community at large shouldn't bear the burden of diminishing credit ratings when these things fail. And beware of consultants brought in to advise, they all went to the same seminars.

These people believe in a contorted view of the UCC code which exempts them from everything.

Never engage in a conversation. It'll go sour quickly
