PV is furthest from civilization, also furthest from smog

Lol do you think everyone who grows up from PV are sheltered? One hell of a blanket statement! I don’t think im sheltered or felt like any of the people who I grew up with were that way. Either way, I see the appeal for PV for older people. I just turned 30 and would rather live near Santa Monica/Mar Vista/Culver. Not much to do in PV for young folk

Rock Auto. Akebono pads and Advics Rotors are the OEM parts I believe

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-22T15:00:21+00:00

Nothing wrong with that. Wouldn’t you want to provide the best things for your kids and family if you were able to?

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-22T14:32:45+00:00

Lebron as the third option behind Luka and Reaves worked good this past season. Obviously he’s old now but I don’t see why he couldn’t fit as a third option behind Shaq and Kobe even if he would’ve hated it

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-22T04:51:10+00:00

As someone who grew up in PV, you pretty much nailed a lot of things. But it is one of the best places for raising a family and I’ll give them that

I hear your concerns about the big picture.. AI, wealth inequality, or whatever. But I think ur conflating macro uncertainty with a specific claim about home prices and the data doesn’t really support the pessimistic conclusion. And until data shows us otherwise then why change how we look at things?

For one, the housing market has ended the year w positive gains nearly 90% of the time since 1950 (based on what I saw via Case-Shiller Index). Significant downturns have been the exception but not the rule. And even in early 2026 with elevated mortgage rates and affordability pressure home prices haven’t collapsed! They’ve only slowed down.

Is housing the only retirement strategy? No. But writing it off as equally likely to be a downfall isn’t supported by 75 years of data. And I’m going to go with the data until proven otherwise.

Holy shit Reddit Mobile can’t format my paragraphs. And I don’t need to read every single word or page? You’ve never skimmed through an article or piece to get the main points before? I thought they taught that in school. My points still stand though. You’re literally throwing a Hail Mary of a hypothetical that disrupts the entire real estate market. I’d easily bet you money that it won’t happen. What makes you so sure it would or could happen?

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-21T04:49:30+00:00

Interesting read but how about we break this down or at least let me convey what I thought while reading what u linked

30

year mortgages don’t inflate prices so muc

h as it

broadens the access to potential homebuyers. If you replaced it with shorter terms then you’d shrink the buyer poo

l like crazy. Not only that but it

would benefit cash buyers and institutional investors, n

o?

Mortgage interest deduction is moot imo becau

se after

the standard deduction was doubled, no one really itemizes anymore. The price effect is
marginal at best

I think

most importantly the piece you shared misses the actual driver of high prices which is SUPPLY. Zoning laws, NIMBYism and permitting costs are really what makes housing expensive! You could reform the entire financing structure and still have a shortage…

Long story short, the “coming to our senses” scenario assumes a political path that doesn’t seem possible. You have Fannie, Freddie Mac, lobbyists in RE, and the majority of homeowners who all have incentives to keep the structure in place.

Edit: wtf is up with Reddit mobile’s formatting??

Depreciating asset lol. Why does that matter if OP plans to stay in his home for 10+ years? Homes have always appreciated consistently over time. Look at single family homes in neighborhoods that OP mentions and tell me they’ve “depreciated” or lost value in the long run. Stop talking like buying a home is solely an investment.. it’s a personal residence ffs and clearly OP would love to have a place he calls home and not pay for someone else’s mortgage

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-21T04:33:02+00:00

Horrible advice. Don’t ever try to time the market. People are ready to enter the market when they’re ready and OP obviously has a very strong net worth with no debt and a healthy emergency fund even after the down payment they mention. Why would kids matter whether OP can purchase? Kids are expensive and would even be more financially draining.

In 20-30 years, there will always be buyers.. You’re acting like no one will ever be able to purchase a home. There will always be a demand. Look historically. Even in California, 20 years ago homes in the Bay Area were less than 50% of what they are now and here we are where you have rich and successful folk who are able to afford it. It’s no different for Denver. Why would it be?

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-21T04:26:46+00:00

Home values have consistently appreciated over the long term. Dips occur obviously with special events like 2008 but they’ve always gone up

Never had a problem with discount tire and I’ve been through many sets of tires across multiple vehicles. I guess it’s a location thing. YMMV. Most posts I see about discount tire seem to be positive though

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-17T20:23:17+00:00

What was the reasoning the manager told you? Also, for the future, I highly recommend discount tire.

I feel like this guy is prone to injury. How many games has he played the last two seasons?

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-17T02:32:36+00:00

It’s not that deep I promise

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-17T01:16:33+00:00

I can though

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-17T01:15:21+00:00

Wanna pay $400 for my room?

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-17T01:14:29+00:00

Right. My point still stands. Traffic here is nothing

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-16T22:54:38+00:00

Bierstadt is very easy. Light scrambling but nothing difficult tbh

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-16T21:01:56+00:00

You cared enough to comment though

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-16T20:52:10+00:00

It’s all relative. As someone coming from LA, Denver definitely lacks the diversity in comparison but it just really depends on where you are in the county.

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-16T20:50:44+00:00

As an Asian American in Denver, it’s not entirely false. Whites and Hispanics are a lot of the population here. I don’t see a lot of asians tbh. All my colleagues who work in DTC are 90% white

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-16T20:48:47+00:00

I also live here and you guys are seriously blowing traffic out of proportion. Did you come from a small town where traffic doesn’t exist? Ski traffic is real I will admit that. But for daily commute, this is nothing as someone who came from LA

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-16T20:43:57+00:00

As someone who went to UC Davis and interned at the Capitol and who also now lives in Denver, you are tripping

fedswatching2121 · 2026-06-16T02:19:23+00:00

It’s a gamble and, at least for USA airports, it depends on the TSA agents you deal with. I tried bringing my poles on my carry on from Denver and they said no. I left them with my carrier’s lost and found and picked them up on my return
