Pittsburgh Fentanyl Cloud posted:City earned income tax is 3% and there will absolutely be a reassessment after sale to what they paid at 22.99 mills I don't think the city is doing much in the way of reassessments right now. My neighbor bought a far more expensive house than that and hasn't been reassessed in 2 years, neither have I for that matter and I bought a little over 2 years ago.

I still can’t figure out on house shows in Canada where all these houses are $1 million and the people who live there I don’t think are earning super high salaries but yet they have like $150,000 for renovations. Are they just taking an equity loan?

Are they just taking an equity loan? The house shows are completely made up. the house prices are made up, the budgets are made up, the jobs are made up. A couple here that was on House Hunters said after the fact that they had to have already closed before applying to be on the show and had to provide the two comparables (they just borrowed family houses for a day of filming). The producers wrote a backstory for them.

The entire purpose of shows like House Hunters is product placement and influencing home decor / remodel trends, that's why you've got people pausing to say "I think we'll skip this house, I don't like that shade of green. I think we're looking for a muted blue color!" and the next commercial break has an ad for Behr Paints in muted blue colors, available now at Home Depot. Get more done.

Tons of them are just straight up inventing stories for the people on the show, who may or may not actually own the house and/or be in the market for one.

Here's an actual article from HGTV where they admit their flipping shows are bullshit: https://www.hgtv.com/shows/hgtv-stars/articles/hgtv-behind-the-scenes-facts quote:Speaking of inside the home, many viewers swoon over the final layouts. But here’s the kicker: More often than not, the homes are staged, meaning the homeowners don’t get to keep the furniture and decor that’s shown on TV. HGTV has been sued a few times because when they do work with real homeowners, they tend to really gently caress up or do damage or leave homes in unusable states. It's all loving garbage and it's contributing in a material way to the insane state of US housing.

Remember those stories about how families who were given rehabs bc of adopting 10 special-needs kids or w/e ended up not being able to afford the property taxes on the re-assessed properties? eta: thinking of that abc show with ty hair-in-the-socket

I talked to a rich guy once who said a rich neighbor of his had her house robbed by someone. She was home at the time but her house was so big the thief was able to enter, rob, and leave and she never even noticed he was there. Would give that thief a high five if I could.

There's no water or sewer and it doesn't appear to be insulated. He turned a dumpster into a wooden tent as a branding exercise.

my boomer dad is sad because he couldn’t buy a 8x15” plot of land for $20000 in time and now has to deal with someone that wants to use it as a boat launch and they’re suing each other because he claims the property is land locked and access to the water is trespassing by a couple feet. gently caress property owners. he wonders why I barely talk to him.
