I opine about real estate, financial markets and economics (and occasionally stupid politicians).

@Chris_Smth I don't think most people realize how common this is. But no worries, it's easy being a real estate agent. Most all the responses are a variation of "see ya".

How would you respond to this seller? "We don't need an agent. We already know what our house is worth because we checked Zillow. We want $750K." The identical house next door just sold for $585K. Go.

@Amelia558rs If its not hurting anything and its important to him, let him have the win. There are more important things to worry about. This is the type of little things that eat at a marriage.

The deep state powerful and elites... doubt it will ever go away.
Stacy is Right@PoliticalStacy

I used to view Donald Trump simply as a solid, effective president... someone who delivered results on the economy, borders, and foreign policy without all the usual political polish. But over time, I've come to see something much bigger: the entire American political system has been rotten and corrupt for decades. It's not just isolated scandals or bad actors; it's a deeply entrenched network of career politicians, unelected bureaucrats, lobbyists, intelligence agencies, and media gatekeepers who operate as a self-protecting "uniparty" or "swamp." They prioritize their own power, insider deals, endless wars, and special interests over the actual needs of everyday Americans. Elections often feel like theater, with the same outcomes no matter who wins—more debt, more control, more erosion of freedoms. What sets Trump apart is that he's the only major figure in modern politics who's truly taken on that machine head-on and actually shaken it. Previous leaders talked tough about reform but ultimately played along with the system, got rich from it, or were too tied into it to challenge it meaningfully. Donald Trump, as a DC outsider who didn't need their approval or their money, has exposed the corruption, fought back against weaponized institutions, and forced the hidden power structures into the open... even when it meant relentless attacks, impeachments, indictments, and lawfare aimed directly at him and his children. He's far from perfect, and the battle is far from over, but for the first time in my lifetime, someone has genuinely threatened the status quo and refused to back down. That's why the pushback against him has been so ferocious: he represents the real possibility of dismantling the corrupt system rather than just managing it. To me, supporting him now isn't just about one good presidency... it's about finally having a fighter who's willing to take on the whole rigged game for the sake of the country, and God help us if he fails.

Robert Mueller harassed an innocent man (Peter W. Smith) until he commited suicide. Robert Mueller ruined HUNDREDS of lives based on a fraudulent case he KNEW was fabricated by Democrats. Robert Mueller drove families that had ZERO involvement with Russia into bankruptcy. Their children even received death threats. Spare me the pearl clutching over Trump's response to his death. Robert Mueller was heartless. ☠️

All states issue Drivers Licenses to non-citizens. 19 states issue them to illegal immigrants. Some have already legalized non-citizen voting at the local level. There are 30 million non-citizens in America. This is all headed in one direction. Unless we SAVE America.

I suspect our entire almost 40 trillion dollar national debt is due to fraud. I actually suspect the amount stolen from us is way higher. We are being robbed blind and absolutely nothing is done about it

Public real estate brokerage stocks just got obliterated: Zillow: -70% Compass: -80% Redfin: -90% Opendoor: -95% Average: down ~85% This wasn’t a “bad year.” This was the market realizing: Real estate isn’t a tech business. It’s a transaction business. No volume = no revenue Low margins = no profits High overhead = no forgiveness 2020–2021 was a liquidity-fueled illusion 2022–2026 is reality And the stocks already repriced it.

Buffalo, New York Mayor Sean Ryan says property taxes in the city could rise at least 25% to close a budget gap of approximately $109M. The mayor added the city needs to buy garbage trucks, snow plows and police cars. He also told WBEN this tax increase may not be the last, but it will be the largest he proposes. "It took years to get in such bad shape, and it's going to take us a few years to get out of it," Ryan said. "But there's no more magic budgeting where you can pretend the budget is balanced but take all the money out of reserve accounts." The budget has to be officially released by April 15. The Common Council will have until May 26 to make any changes and adopt it. #RealEstate audacy.com/wben/news/loca…

@MichaelAArouet Baltimore City tears down city blocks after stripping from owners for not paying taxes, in a dilapidated block. Then makes them safe for trash and drug needles. Grass become a jungle and then they pretend like its a park.

It’s so fantastic to see cities turning from concrete deserts into beautiful liveable green parks. Why do so many people complain? I got rid of my car five years ago and will probably never buy a car again. Move to the suburbs if you don’t like it.

Phone confessions: I had a long talk with an executive at a large AI company about the realities they face. He was one of the folks that booked cohort 1 of my 17 minutes with me, it was for non corporate folks, but he was honest with me and paid 17 times (no accident, thank you) more than the minimum. He wanted to remain anonymous but I told him I knew who he was but will ignore it. I had my plan beforehand and built an approach, honesty my only poach. My 17 minutes of monologue (really non stop talking) was centered around on this patent and the story of how a massive well funded company had the future that would take it out being built literally in THE BASEMENT by a hacker in 1975. What was it? Steven Sasson developed the FIRST portable, battery operated, self-contained digital camera at Kodak. It weighed 8 pounds used a new Fairchild CCD image sensor having only 100 × 100 pixels (0.01 megapixels). The images were digitally recorded onto a cassette tape, a process that took twenty-three seconds per image. It only took images in black and white. As he set out on his design project, he envisioned a camera without mechanical moving parts (although his device did have moving parts, such as the tape drive). Well this genius in the basement (or garages or kitchen tables) are never encouraged in ANY corporate environment especially “go to market” startups. The arrogance level and loose money with a desire to say “yes sir” to the they-must-be-smarter-than-anyone-because-they-are-running-an-AI-company folk, makes anyone with they REAL outlier ideas kicked down be the crab pot (not ironic) colleagues and bosses. This Kodak moment is playing out at all major AI companies today and it will be the undoing of US AI. The only company that is facing this is XAI and Elon, he just about burned down the entire process. The other companies just got magnitudes worse over the last 6 weeks. Some context directly a through my ~80 GitHub (all anonymous for reasons) I got to know 100s of actual builders at these companies and interact sometimes hourly with them. Some know me through here and have the guts to say it (reasons) and most know “me” from my repos. I get to see beautiful talent being wasted. So today I told this executive that everything they are spending time and money on will be a waste in 3 years and they need to pivot to a new technology now and most importantly they have a garage team already doing it but they shut them up, like I said, all HR based companies do. Ain’t no innovations will come with this mindset. He got emotional as I give him the X-ray of what he knew was the reality. It is just no one in the inside could say it and I just did. The second point was open source and China. They have no plan and there is yelling. At the company whenever it is proposed by just about all the builders there. I told him that because I knew and he freaked out because he was one of them. So the call was a good one for an early Saturday morning. It is my hope he follows through on the plans I helped with. And the possibility of officially advising the company. But I would not bet on it. Egos will be very high until the accountants take over. Why did I do this and why am I telling you? He knew I would write this and encouraged me. The problem of this arrogance is systemic and dangerous to not just the AI industry but to the entire US economy. As money from the Middle East goes dry for AI the shock wave 1 has hit. The next 5 shock waves will be far bigger and impossible to hide. If innovation and garage thinking like China has in AI right now does not rise, we are in layers of trouble. In the basements of ALL of these AI companies are silent geniuses that hold the future of the company. They are ignored like Steven Sasson was in 1975. The current hardware approach, software approach and model training as well as the model technology is broken. This is out Kodak moment for AI. Now back to the garage for me. Suits notified.

This is your monthly reminder that congress gave @PeteButtigieg $2 TRILLION to fix infrastructure and nobody knows where the money all went. That’s 135 nuclear aircraft carriers worth of cash. Poof.

@nickgerli1 When prices of any asset drop, buyers freeze. Very, very few people are in a position to wait for the bottom, intentionally. Those that must buy, do so and pray… even the non-believers.

The thing everyone gets wrong in the housing market is they think it's about mortgage rates. When it's actually about prices. Buyer demand is at record lows because prices (inflation-adjusted) are at record highs. No one wants to buy a house they know it will be worth less in 3-4 years. Meanwhile, mortgage rates around 6% is abundantly normal for the U.S. going back 100+ years. That's why movements in mortgage rates (either up or down) aren't having any material impact on sales right now. Meanwhile, if you manage to bring prices down meaningfully, the buyers will flood back.

I love when strangers tell me here that they've lost respect for me because of this or that thing I've said. To hear I've lost what I never knew I had and never sought from someone is not a loss at all. It's a puff of wind.
