@follard HOA’s are a weird evil. I hate them for me. Love them for the hoarders that like to decorate yards with trash.

America has quietly become an HOA country. Drive through almost any new neighborhood and ask yourself, "how much freedom do you actually have here?" Can't park here, can't build that, can't paint this, can't rent that, can't store this. People say they want affordable / attainable housing but then regulate every ounce of flexibility out of it.

Wide is the path that leads to destruction. This is true spiritually and w investing. The masses are manipulated exit liquidity. Be early. Sell into the feeding frenzy. The best buys are the things that will get you mocked on X. Weird isn’t it.

@adamcarolla @CNN hmmmmm

I’ll bet

How many articles have you read about the mass exodus from blue states? I meet people almost daily from high tax and progressive states finding refuge in az. It’s the biggest migratory trend in decades and the media is basically silent…? Weird.

@PriteshSMB I’ll never go back to windows

Should I buy a macbook pro? First computer was a packard bell on win 95. Rolled with windows through 98, 2000, XP, Vista, 7, 8?, 10, and now 11. It's now intolerable. I have 16gb ram, but 80% memory full running just chrome and slack. After being an android fanboy for years (custom roms and all), I switched to the usb c iPhone 15. Painful to admit, but just exponentially better than any android phone I'd had, including the pixels. Potential alternative is @FrameworkPuter or sucking it up and forking more money to dell

@moseskagan @raeforla I’m increasingly weary of anyone who goes by rev.

@raeforla This is a really disgusting thing for someone hoping to lead LAPD to write Strongly recommend deleting it

LA safety does not equate to a massive LAPD force exclusively - they do not protect and serve all Angelenos.

@Jacob_Naviaux Please run for city council

I don’t pull permits on my flips. On the SPD in GA, there’s a question that asks if permits were not pulled when work done required them. I mark Yes, explain what was done, and tell the buyer’s agent we do quality renovations. Every time I’ve had to do this, no issues. Here’s my thinking: Pulling permits means bringing things up to code. That costs more money AND increases holding costs while you wait on inspectors at every stage. Worst case? Someone tattles on me, stop work order, pay the small fine, then pull the permit. I’m going my route every time. Caveat: I would not do this when doing additions that are obvious from the street or flipping in historic districts. Disclaimer: laws vary drastically state-to-state and city-to-city. Do your due diligence before running this approach. Just sharing what works in my market.

@jamesonhaslam Very common

that’s a new one

@abc15 Please keep this dysfunction away from az. They ruined the most beautiful state in the us with horrible ideas. They can’t even get basic things right.

California is seeking millions of dollars in penalties from State Farm after an investigation found the insurance company was slow to investigate and underpaid claims from the 2025 Los Angeles-area wildfires, regulators announced Monday. abc15.com/life/money/sta…

Thanks

@fortun8fool Oh no

woke up to the red light of doom on in my yard at my septic tank

@JensTwoCents_AZ Keep at it!

@elonmusk @TheRabbitHole Tax receipts right now are at record high. Logically, that should also mean we have the best government we’ve ever had. Do you think that that’s the case?

I have paid over $10B in taxes in a single year, more than anyone in history. If I exercise and sell stock options, the combined federal and state income tax is ~45% (I still pay California taxes for every day I spend there). Then there is another 40% tax paid on my estate when I die. Overall, I will probably end up paying trillions in taxes.

Do rich people pay taxes? > Yes. Do they pay their fair share? > More actually.

@DrNeilStone I’m sorry Neil….You do realize the cdc funded the research that made Covid 19 in a lab? It was not accidental. Wake up brother.

The CDC has been gutted. I'm telling you now. The US is NOT ready for the next pandemic

@ErikVoorhees The ocean isn’t on land.

Imagine thinking we shouldn't use water

@GeriPerna 😂

I just left Sprouts. They have to be insane there. Rotting apples, among other produce that I wouldn't eat. I asked the produce man if they had any FRESH apples in the back. He said no, and wanted to see the apples I said were rotten. He looked at them and said "Do you know how hard it is to keep removing the bad fruit here?" I said at $8.99 for apples, he should make it his priority!

@abc15 The schools have literally no control of anything. They are afraid of looking like racists so they do nothing to protect your child. Take your kids out immediately. Whatever you see on the news or read… it’s worse than you think.

A 13-year-old boy was punched and kicked repeatedly at a Tempe middle school, and his family is now considering legal action against the district. tinyurl.com/55cxmkfa

@GrulkeLamonte Love this idea! I know you don’t need help but I wish I could!

Thinking about building a home and offering it at 99k.

I’ve know some amazing parents that raised horrible children. I’ve know some amazing children that came from horrible parents. Weird world out there.

@NathanQuinlanGC And a need for more Nathan! Pay that capital improvement fee!!

Went to grab a building permit yesterday in a town I barely work in… and the size of the building department left me speechless. This is one of the biggest municipal buildings I’ve ever seen in the entire area — and it only serves ~22,000 residents across 32 square miles. If you’re wondering why local governments are always broke… this is your answer. Massive overhead, endless offices, and zero restraint. Government bloat on full display.
