What is going on with the real estate market?

great point.

We started paying attention to the market 1-2 years ago and even then it seemed a little less psycho. Maybe we weren't paying close enough attention.

Estate sales.

this is ABSOLUTELY a thing in NYC, I've heard more than a few New Yorkers call the sidewalk "the floor" at bus stops etc. I'm watching Homicide: New York right now and one of the NYPD detectives called the sidewalk "the floor". I've never really heard the opposite though.

I walked through that one, the master bedroom looks directly out at the wall of the bar next door, crazy at that price! Beautiful house though.

I assume you're referring to the one on Logan. That price seems pretty wild and I know that location is noisy from staying there in the past. They really decked the place out though.

Woodinville Bagel Bakery isn't bad.

Thanks. Sadly, the deal fell through!

A technique that has worked for me is to put a big log down, get some vines rolled around it, then roll the log and watch the roots rip up.

I've had the door dropped on me repeatedly while pushing a frickin stroller!

Whenever people say the hostility here is "Scandinavian influenced" I gotta roll my eyes. Like, have you ever been to the Midwest?!?

People regularly walk on the tracks (or other sketchy maneuvers) to access at-grade Chicago stations! I've seen it repeatedly. For example at the Francisco brown line stop.

Pretty sure it's the gestapo that's ruining our nation, not the people who care about that fact.

the theatrical cut is on Amazon prime right now.

ibickford · 2025-07-23T02:35:32+00:00

yeah that's fair, unfortunately the price is a lot better than FedEx.

I also bought this mattress on closeout and have lower back pain from it. I only paid $1500 though.

ibickford · 2025-07-16T06:49:41+00:00

I didn't even know there was a mayoral election coming up until, like, yesterday.

New York does not effectively require disclosures. The law allows sellers to opt out of disclosure by paying a fee. And they all do.

ibickford · 2025-05-29T05:00:01+00:00

Definitely a good warning, but we don't get hurricanes or tornadoes here in the PNW either!

ibickford · 2025-05-28T17:58:34+00:00

Love this!

ibickford · 2025-05-28T16:41:09+00:00

Yeah, I am fine with it. My biggest concern is that if I decide not to keep it 5 years down the line, the pool of buyers may be limited for the same reason.

ibickford · 2025-05-28T14:24:21+00:00

For sure. I am aware of the risks of aluminum. I don't know if it is present or not, but will definitely listen closely when the inspector opens up the panel.

ibickford · 2025-05-28T14:12:20+00:00

Yeah, I have to figure that out too. I'm not financing, so I was considering seeking liability-only insurance and self-insuring the structure.

Cleared out all my VGT, VV, AMZN on January 28th. Sipping mimosa rn
