Find shitter dumps. https://www.rvdumps.com/dump-stations-by-state/ I just don't know how ideal it really is to build where I am, even if it is cheap. Mobility seems ideal for the near future anyhow, and I wouldn't mind seeing the parks of the PNW before it all burns to the ground, the southwest before the Colorado dries up entirely, maybe check out Canadian parks, never make my way to texas. But I'm at least a year out from any of this nonsense so who knows what I'll do by then. It's a fun pipe dream though.

someone who had moved from memphis told me they had done a really nice reno of their condo, it was like 1400 SF, two floors, kitchen remodel was super nice and costs 40k, it sold last year for... 325k man if you are willing to live in a terrible place you can possibly sort of afford a home maybe

Mud Island is the Memphis version of sea level rise. It's in the Mississippi and every few years a quality flood comes through and fucks up half the place. Insurers love it! I lived in Memphis for 5 years, the Cordova end (city/county line was my back fence). I do not recommend it.

Schmeichy posted:We got a van with the idea of camping in it instead of living in it full-time, but before the pandemic we got a used dodge caravan that we outfitted with a camping storage station and bed. I think it was around 10k (we did a trade in). Hasn't needed much maintenance so far. It's also our daily driver. I have been interested in doing this. I want something I can stealth camp in and work vans are too much of a break in risk because people think they're full of tools. Also lovely work vans are now $10,000 when they used to be $1,000  Edit: to be clear I just want a weekend camper vehicle, I have a home I don't need to do the Nomadland thing. I want to go camping but thanks to the pandemic all the campgrounds fill up too quickly for me to compete, hence the stealth camping Lacrosse has issued a correction as of 18:04 on Jun 17, 2022 |

We just took the back seats out, put in some plastic platforms for a bed frame, got some futon cushions for a mattress, and rigged up some curtains. Works great, and you could do it a lot nicer if you wanted. There are so many ideas on YouTube

Is there any consensus on the smallest appropriate amount to take a former landlord to small claims court for? My ex-landlord is holding back money for repainting a room, which he shouldn't have done because in this state landlords can only take deductions if they return the remainder of the deposit within two weeks and provide documentation of their costs. It's not a lot but I could ask for damages, including punitive damages (landlord has violated the law before, and frankly I'm furious at how I bent over backward to be a nice, compliant tenant).

Anything less than the cost of the filing fee + postage you can let go.

Is this Pennsylvania? That sounds exactly like the PA law and in PA (landlord tenant act of 1951) your landlord owes you treble damages no matter what if they violate the two week return + documentation limit.

Here in Chicago they're supposed to pay 0.01% interest on your deposit, my friend had a similar dispute to yours and his lawyer found out they failed to do this and won a judgement for $14k

when i moved out of ohio i sent my landlord a registered letter asking for my deposit back (at that point if he didnt get the itemized list to me in 30 days they owed the entire deposit back) he sent me a check with a note saying i left the place a mess with a lot of repairs needed (i didnt) bit he decided to be generous and give me the entire amount back

BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:different cities have different statutes or w/e but talk to a lawyer, you may be surprised at how much you can recover. The thing is that I would have been disappointed but okay with him deducting like thirty bucks to touch up the paint in a room that clearly hadn't been painted in years, if he'd just gotten the rest of the deposit back in time. He texted that he had planned to return the money the weekend after it was due. But he sent me a check the day after I first texted him, and he could have sent the money electronically, the same way we paid our rent. So there wasn't any reason why he couldn't return it in time- he just didn't care. euphronius posted:always take pictures of your old unit when you leave. 100% of the time.

after the fed rate hike the average 30 year rate went to 5.78, up from 5.23 the previous week lol https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=NUh my father told me that rates are actually too low, because when they bought their home in the 80s it was 13%. of course housing was cheaper than and wages were better.

nothing is listing on the low segment. mid segment buyers have dropped down to low segment and those still sell when if they list. anything above the ceiling sits.

He then specifically called out softening in the Seattle market:  as someone in tech, it was always weird to see techbros hopped up on FIRE double/triple-down on being reliant on tech for income in terms of getting paid in tech stocks, doubling down on re-investing in tech, and getting home loans predicated on tech stocks etc

its kinda weird having seen most of the pacnw being hollowed-out old timber-farming (timber belt) / old foundry-smelting towns with cheap land where now the only industry left is meth and gas stations, indistinguishable from most rust belt towns, to super overpriced tech/computer touching-friendly upscale towns. a lot of the 80-90 grunge or other music scene was all about how destitute and lovely it was there
