I don't think there is a good single source. You might have to do some digging on your own. Someone did make a website where you can track what properties are owned by who in NYC.

this is my old landlord!

who I have won a (couple million dollar!) class action judgment against that is being dragged into judicial purgatory!

he also owns 326-338 E 100th St.

Whoa dudes I'm sorry y'all so thin skinned about the amount of money you earn from your jobs i guess, poo poo. Is it in bad taste to point out if you make house buying money you're in a different social class? Cause i thought acceptance of that was kind of how solidarity worked or whatever but I'll admit i only spend hours reading so if my take from the poors side isn't welcome then I'll just go back to using this forum as a beacon of sanity i never interact with.

the idea that the supply of houses is at all responsible for this mess is a nice indicator that you can disregard whatever else a person's thoughts are

two houses on my block in a village of 2000 people are full time airbnbs

two others are second homes

Please gently caress off with your stupid bullshit. Stick to talking about your $60k house and your $100k job.

Illinois is that bad?

yeah, secondary cities in Illinois are all remnants of long-established, but then Pleasantville-era heyday boom developed, "urban" cores that took longer than the rest of the Rust Belt to die. It's sort of... like a meeting of industry and agriculture at the threshold of the plains, with a heavy lean on the last remaining public institutions that are just now being cored out. I kinda think of the extractive (in the form of calories) / productive (in the form of other stuff) industry "frontier" rusting from east to west, and it's pummelling Illinois and Missouri now.

Springfield is the seat of government and nothing else, in the middle of nowhere. Peoria used to be Caterpillar's world headquarters but they left 5 years ago for Chicago burbs. Bloomington/Normal area has two state universities one of which was chartered to train public school teachers (oops). Rockford is the second largest city in the state and managed to turn around and pick up a big UPS hub after Chrysler bailed, but is just decaying as their bet on the healthcare "industry" reverts to profit-seeking and extraction of patient wealth.

in a vacuum and a reality where capitalism doesn't make everything loving suck poo poo rear end all the time, Illinois is a really interesting place

they all have downtowns, density, green space, anything you really need besides jobs. But every remote worker went someplace more picturesque. The only cold city on the list is Rockford.

in my most optimistic outlook it would take a relatively very small public investment to make all of those cities not only attractive but actually good and cool but welp public transit, internet, and healthcare is a nonstarter even in places of 100k people where the material need isn't particularly onerous. a sustainable modern urban core would be child's play in a place like Peoria

none of that hires more cops or pays CEO salaries htough so welp

i've been thinking more and more about some sort of multi-family living arrangement as my parents and in-laws age

we're not there yet, but when/if faced with putting them in some sort of managed care situation where someone who is underpaid, overworked, and has their own life stressors is taking care of my family as a job... i dunno, i'm close enough to all of them that I would make drastic life changes to avoid it

the only thing that keeps my wife and i from doing it preemptively is that there are no loving jobs for us in areas that have actual multi-family homes we could afford

(and "affording" those houses means pooling resources with everyone because lol we never could)

having just watched my business partner go through this with his elderly mom (ten years older than my parents) it's goddamn awful and heartbreaking.

our shop is physically attached to the house his mother lived in with his sister so they made a real earnest effort to provide for her but once mobility issues became more severe than "needs a cane" it was curtains. even with two able, willing and caring people, if those people are also working full days it becomes a mess. at least they found her a local place near family friends who can supplement the facility/community but holy poo poo. A catastrophic stroke/heart attack seems like it would be a blessing.

Steel conducts heat like a goddamn highway too, the increased insulation costs are probably going to eat any savings because with thin studs ur insulation batts aren't gonna fit properly.

sprayfoam the entire structure maybe, but then you have to upgrade ventilation and air processing (probly a good idea these days anyway)

You can actually shower quite a bit with hot water with any kind of tank-style water heater when the power's out because you still have a big tank of already-hot water that takes a long time to get cold. But the water heater will not actually be heating water up unless it's from the 70s.
