@levelsio Also not sure walking around clean malls is a good example unless malls are what you are into. We have great malls in the US but people drive everywhere and parks are full of homeless

I think increasingly it's just because UK and W-Europe is getting exponentially worse while exponentially increasing taxes Like if everything around you turns into a shithole, then you fly to Dubai or Asia and it's just refreshing to finally be able to walk around in a clean shopping mall with shiny floors where the staff is nice to you and the streets aren't littered with trash and unsafe with thugs trying to stab or rob you It's not even that Dubai or Asia is so great, it's that what's left of W-Europe isn't so great anymore for the amount in cost of living and taxes it costs to live there!

@levelsio You have so many followers so not sure if my answer will get thru but you are too hard on W Europe. I live in California and spend summers in W EU and it’s night and day when it comes to safety. Taxes are too high in Europe but they flatten the curve.

@Jason @grok what is this meme? Whos in this image?

And just like that, a meme is born

@RyanDanz Where in San Diego is this? Some of these images look like Hawaii. Maybe the image with the pool is from San Diego

It truly boggles my mind that Americans will travel all over the world in search of an international beach vacation, when instead they could travel just off the coast of San Diego.

Most people dont understand AI and what inference means so fears are overblown. Not everyone is a trader and sees this a good time to get it. I could be wrong but this is what I did, I invested. I also understand AI decently well and my judgement is that fears are overblown. I dont see big tech scaling down their clusters anytime soon or reducing their CapEX.

I see a lot of people scrambling to buy $NVDA today. My question... why? Price has broken down through the lower bound of the consolidation range that started in October. And we'll be closing below the 200-day moving average for the first time since January 2023. What's the rush?

@levelsio Yet the Dutch and danish consistently rank the highest on happiness. Could be bias cause I’m considering moving there but there’s beauty to gray and indoor slow productivity

Depressive weather is great for indoor culture though And indoor culture makes you work hard and get rich So that's why Netherlands is rich You can barely ever go outside in the sun, apart from a few weeks per tear, cause there literally is no sun

Some people find this beautiful But growing up here for over 2 decades I find the Netherlands aesthetic highly depressing The desaturation of literally everything because it's always cloudy just shouts depression No wonder the Dutch in 1600 went on ships to GTFO in search of sun As we did

Where in Portugal are you? We stayed in Lisbon and considered living there. No, we live in San Diego and considered moving to Portugal, but taxes were too high, and the environment wasn't very business-friendly. The Netherlands seems more business-friendly, especially with the Dutch-American treaty.

@chimpvc It's like San Diego mixed with Miami here very nice

By aligning with free speech, Zuck has immediately become the enemy of the media again The European media is so obviously directed behind the scenes to have an angle against American tech, and wanting to censor everything It's like reading Pravda during the Soviet Union

@YieldOnCostSTR @TXStrGuy I applaud to you for being super honest on this. I’ve done the same in low season but as you said, emotional wear tear is not worth it. Usually people that get a really good deal were the cause of most headaches as well. Could be anecdotal but was our experience

@TXStrGuy Upside of having no outside investors is not having to squeeze every drop of financial return out of each property

This is mostly due to the fact that I am unwilling to reduce our rates to the clearing price during low season. Not worth it to me to rent a property for 1/5th of what I can get during high season just to fill a bed in January.

@texasrunnerDFW See how much variability is in this median sales price data (MoM) so it is not necessarily valuable metric of itself IMO

Data on Englewood market from Redfin sourced here: redfin.com/city/22414/FL/…

Think home prices haven’t fallen “very much” anywhere? The median sale price in hurricane battered Englewood, FL is down a whopping FORTY PERCENT YoY And inventory jumped 18% last month Absolute bloodbath.

I would take this interpretation of data with the grain of salt. This metric by Redfin is showing median sales price. It could be a signal, but it could also be a seasonality thing where smaller or cheaper home sold in Sep/October 2024. Zillow index showing only marginal drop from August to Oct 2024.

@speakbits Google is becoming more like a wrapper for reddit :D

A federal court has ordered a nationwide preliminary injunction halting enforcement of a law requiring the filing of private business ownership information with the federal government. Our company is a c corp so we will be monitoring this closely. getchalet.com

@NewsLambert Very fascinating, do you have the data on rest of the country and are there any outliers?

40,000 mortgage borrowers became past due in October because of Hurricanes Helene and Milton, calculates the Intercontinental Exchange 27k in Florida 4k in North Carolina 4k in South Carolina 4k in Georgia

@mrdbourke This is pretty interesting and could be a game changer for Short-Term Rental hosts
