lmao I thought 90k for a trailer was ridiculous but now there's a trailer going for 175k and 300/month in park fees. I have a friend who bought a house with a few acres for around that price three years ago

lol

up here I looked at a trailer you could stick your fingers through the siding that had been used to board large numbers of cats.

firm 800,000

I think there is plenty of room in the thread for tech workers who bought a house for themselves and normal people to hate on class traitors and aspirational landlords together.

listening in to some single tech workers talking about the houses they offered this last week. the late forties overweight lady wanted a house way out here in the woods so she could build a ropes course in the trees on it. the other person younger appearing LBGTQ was talking about how after not getting this property they would be looking in Hyak.

hyak has a bike trail head bathroom. that’s about all there is to Hyak.

I’m still processing this.

I mean, good mountains, seems like it was bound to go that way after Issaquah blew up

I threw up in a parking lot at midnight in Hyak once! I wasn't drinking, I was running an ultramarathon

yes up in the pass Hyak. yeah that parking lot for the iron horse trail is about it. apparently north bend is the trendy cool place now. going to be real funny next year when they get snowed in for a couple weeks.

my room until I was about ten was the second level of a closet. after that I was on a screen roomed exterior porch in Florida until I went to the academy. before I was born my parents lived in a tiny airstream uh down by the river. my dad remembers living in a farm work house in WV (think like a of mice and men type bunk house) as small child.

But only for jumbo loans

So really you'd be an idiot to get a mortgage for less than a million dollars

out here price per square ft on some of the million dollar properties is 277. on the 1000 ft homes it is as high a 700.

We had no bathrooms during a renovation and 24 hour nationwide gym chains seem like a real innovation in homelessness. Thirty-three bucks a month gets you hot showers, potable water, and a place to charge devices in addition to an opportunity to getting swole. My local even has a tv lounge area by the occasionally staffed smoothie bar. If you hit the place after 11, nine times out of ten it's your private facility.

I remember at the beginning of the pandemic there were articles about people doing this who suddenly couldn’t because of the pandemic.

There's a few class As on ebay under $20k, but they're all 20+ years old. Some are pretty clean though.

my parents bought a 30 + year old class A for 2000 once. it was pretty good until somebody siphoned the gas out and they didn’t notice. the sludge at the bottom of the gas tank killed the engine the next time they started it and that was that.

edit: if you are already living in one of these communities they’ll come up cheaper. people sell them off to friends when they are going to die.
