One other comment in relation to this, not really in response to you but just something I thought of with Helene. I know my earlier comment was about hurricanes generally hitting coasts, but even in regards to Helene in NC which hit inland areas worse (I live about 2 hours from some of the hardest hit areas), we don’t know all the details yet but I have a feeling even this will have a bigger impact on higher dollar homes. My understanding is the worst part of Helene was just the tremendous amounts of rain that caused rivers and other bodies of water to flood, and the homes most in danger from that are likely to be riverfront (there was even some major flooding in some small areas here, but mostly confined to riverfront homes). Also while there are definitely plenty of locals living there, many of the towns impacted are sorta resort areas and often second homes, so more reason it’s likely higher dollar homes were more impacted.

Disagree. Like massive increases in illegal immigration, Wall Street buying up huge numbers of homes is concentrated in certain markets, so it doesn’t explain prices going up nationally. And even then, some of these numbers are overstated when they talk about “investors” buying homes, which often includes Mom and Pop investors that have always been around. On the other hand, the rising cost of new homes and repairs/materials due to inflation was directly evident in increasing housing costs across the country. There are many stories of people under contract on new construction houses around 2021 that either had their prices increase due to materials costs or the builders complaining that they were losing money. It’s also why it impacted all pricing brackets including trickling down to lower price brackets as well. That’s how economics works, not the opposite with some of these idiots claiming an increase in people looking for the cheapest apartments around will somehow cause prices to rise in all price brackets everywhere.

Crazy photo (this is in WV). My understanding is part of the reason it was so bad was because there was also a lot of rain that fell just BEFORE Helene even hit.

Can’t believe he did it right before leaf peeping season too.

I guess they’re running out of deaths to blame on the Covid vax, moving on to unnamed people claiming 2 sons both had reactions to the Meningitis shot at the same time

How exactly are you defining “coastal area”?

Home prices & rents went up nearly everywhere, in every price bracket. That means it wasn’t illegal immigration driving it, which would only really impact the lowest price brackets, in areas that saw large numbers of illegal immigrants. If anything, an increase an illegal immigration in 2021 would’ve helped prices not rise even faster than they did, because in addition to the effect of the pandemic (which was still going on), a big reason for the sharp increases in 2021/2022 was inflation and the increase in construction & repair costs that occurred as a result. You’re welcome for solving your mystery. Let me know if there’s any other mysteries that you’re too dumb to solve.

Thank you Kenneth Walker III

Also, housing costs were not even rising at a ridiculous rate until Covid - that (people realizing they really didn’t want to live in an apartment when the next pandemic hit) was the single biggest reason for the increases in the past 5 years in particular, not illegal immigration

I’ve been to many coastal communities particularly in the southeast, and with all the development in the past ~20 years, those areas you mention are getting fewer and fewer from what I’ve seen. Many of the people that work in coastal communities live 20+ miles away. I’d agree that for the really bad like once every 5-10+ year type storm then the lower income areas get hit harder, but for the more common medium-intensity hurricanes, their impact seems to be more focused close to the coast IMO. And of course even when lower income areas are impacted, that doesn’t necessarily mean many of the people impacted are immigrants as @jonnyutah implies. But I’ll admit I’m not an insurance adjuster, so would be curious if there is actual data on this. Also going back to @jonnyutah’s comment, I’ll acknowledge that “population increases” contribute to increased cost of damage, but if we’re talking coastal areas, that population increase is driven by Americans wanting to move to desirable areas, not illegal immigrants

The election is in over a month. Everyone still alive will be able to go vote IMO. Which makes the question to me which side will have more people die. For NC in particular, hard to say, I’d say probably about a wash. Asheville was the biggest city hit hard and is a lib stronghold, but other areas hit hard are not. Libs would have been more likely to go somewhere else before the storm hit, but righties would know better how to handle it once it came.

How so?

The issue is really with the NCAA. I believe they specifically allow transgender athletes as long as they meet specific hormone requirements. So if the NCAA permits it I don’t see how a school could prohibit it.

Maybe Jesus was a tranny. He did have that long hair.

Calling NC a flyover state lolololololol. It might decide the election

Houston? What was that, Harvey? 7 years ago? Thanks for proving my point (key words in my previous post being “most often”).

Lol

Telling the truth. Make it your thing. Thanks in advance. Signed, The geeks that don’t appreciate lying (which seems to be a small number these days)

Agree that she should not be on a woman’s team, but per usual, this seems to be being blown out of proportion. The team is not even ranked in the top 25 and Fleming doesn’t even appear to be the best player on the team, which would suggest the “safety concern” is being overblown. Also apparently the teammate that filed a lawsuit lived with Fleming for awhile before even realizing they were trans. So much for @weepaws being able to identify trannies going to the bathroom so he can beat them up.

He’s a traitor because 10% of his employees are Haitian? Hyperbole much?

Do you think immigrants are the ones living in the million+ dollar homes that are most often the ones destroyed by hurricanes in the coastal areas? If so, they must be doing pretty well!
