Springfield Fatts posted:Is this the thread to post in if I am in the final stages of buying a house after 10 months of looking / fighting dozens of offers on every loving property we look at and to be pushed two cities further from work due to rising costs and shrinking inventory and though all media tells me I should be high fiving my wife in slow-mo while we pick plants for the front yard I instead feel all-encompassing dread mixed a seething desire for this whole awful process to just be finished? I want to buy a house right now but I also don't want this for myself

CRUSTY MINGE posted:Probably should have said beforehand, the valley is a weird loving place. Linda Moulton Howe (Ancient Aliens) got her big break in the 70s reporting animal mutilations out here. As such, there's a big UFO community vibe. Lots of people living in 50 year old trailers miles away from town. A lot of alternative religion types out in Crestone. There's an alligator preserve. The great sand dunes. The San Juans and Sangre de Cristos. Wetlands, farms, hot springs (one with clothing optional days), forests and a desert. I drove through there a few years ago and wanted to stop at the UFO stuff but didn't have time. It's weird how long it takes to drive from one side of the valley to the other, even though you can see across the whole way.

I'm always scared to make maintenance requests because the landlord obviously uses them as excuses to raise the rent. A bunch of stuff rotted last year, so we had to ask for repairs, and then the landlord increased our rent more than she ever has before.

I made a deal with my landlord that I'd maintain the landscaping in exchange for lower rent, and she agreed. A few months later when we renewed our lease she simply raised the rent back to where it'd been before. So now I'm cutting the lawn for free basically.

I have actually maintained it as a low-mow lawn with some wildflowers mixed in, but she still pitched a fit the one time she drove by. I actually wanted to do the landscaping myself. The part I'm annoyed with is the immediate rent increase.

I'd be opposed to flipping just from their aesthetic choices alone. Every house around here that got remodeled in the last couple of years is gray and white.

The stereotypical house flip (and I don't know what portion of them fit this description, but it's what's being criticized) is mostly focused on aesthetics and a few flashy upgrades that help it sell rather than important things like plumbing or electrical work. New paint, kitchen appliances, granite countertops, etc.

It was a relief to finally be able to move her kids out of the hotel, but by the time she closed in July, her mortgage rate was 6%, setting off a chain of financial consequences she was unprepared for. “I feel like I bought more problems,” she said.

A lot of people felt pressured and rushed into bad purchases. The woman in my quote for example was only looking to buy because she had to move out of her rental because rents shot up everywhere.

Proper roommate response is to dump all that stuff in their bedroom and have a big fight when they get back, both feeling entirely smugly justified for your own behavior.

I asked someone on the planning commission if the city was considering doing away with single-family zoning, and I'm pretty sure they tried to tell me that multifamily zoning was the actual problem. I, uh..

anime was right posted:it is to what they hate (poor people and minorities) The interesting twist is that they seemed to be blaming multi-family zoning for the destruction of minority communities. Which, yeah, historically black neighborhoods have largely been zoned multi-family here, but the conclusion isn't that we need to expand single-family zoning to protect minorities.

Greg12 posted:many people think the role of planning is to plan for property owners' investments to grow in value forever Yeah they were really making a racial equity argument that went in the wrong direction. In their view black property owners were denied the advantages that come from single-family zoning, thus multi-family zoning was to blame. Great starting point with a terrible conclusion.

palindrome posted:I'd take it, kitchen looks to have a decent layout. Good sink, hood over the range. Marble floor is questionable bordering on tasteless, but functionally it looks way nicer than any apartment I've lived in. That trim is also a little alarming since it infers they took numerous other shortcuts. Oh well, kitchens don't leak do they? $400k for 860 sq ft
