Flash Gordon Ramsay posted:Historically, real estate has pretty much always gone up in value. Which is why real estate has always been considered a good investment. It can't be destroyed (well, except for Love Canal/Chernobyl type events), and pretty much always at least paces inflation. Thing is "holding on to it" means you have to sink money into repairs and poo poo to maintain the value of the investment. Houses are constantly under attack from the elements and repairs can get very expensive.

If you are buying a piece of property where the house vastly out prices the land you may be investing poorly. The house doesn't gain value only the land does.

Just bought the latest Cards Against Humanity expansion. It looks like what they've done is combined the first three and second three expansions each into their own big pack and reduced the price to $20, then created a new one the same size as three previous ones and that's $20 too. Threw in the Trump cards since we'll unfortunately get some mileage out of those now.

This is a dumb derail, but every hot sauce has its purpose. Texas Pete for reheated pizza; Cholula for hard boiled eggs, Sriracha for Asian noodles, etc.

I have to submit exterior changes to the board, but they are interested in preservation like I am so it's no biggie. Considering this is a newer build (1960's) for the neighborhood they probably won't care as much about my house as the do the old mansions.

I'm sure all the euro-goons just snicker at us when we talk about preserving historical things from way back in the 20th century.

Check this historical house from 1968     It has it's own charm but I tend to prefer buildings from before WWII where I live (before the widespread use of concrete post war). They tend to age better

Oh I usually run to the basement at least once an evening to do laundry, grab something from the freezer / beer fridge and then don't turn the lights off, or remember if I turned the lights off. Tomorrow the Google Home assistant thing is going on sale for $100, I think I'm going to attempt to buy one of those as well to enable voice commands. Then I can really be a lazy rear end in a top hat.
