'I love you': Longtime Commie-Toe ally has been friends with CCP group's top exec for over a decade

Democrats/Communists, their policies and their bleaters are destroying our country

If Abortion is your #1 issue

And God knew those people at Flat Creek were going to get hit by a 300 foot wide debris flow before they were born. Would have been nice if he told them before they had to die.

Which brings up this argument: wouldn't God already know a fetus was going to get aborted? Ain't religion weird?

Evil runs this Earth right now. Satan is free and it's clear he has a strong hold on you.

Jesus will return and evil is going to lose.

We have free will to choose faith in God.

You choose not to. He's giving you that choice. Man can't survive without God and it's being proven now. Satan is going to take as many as he can with him.

I choose God. You all do not. We all will face the consequences of our decision.

I think I may agree with this

are the same ones ignoring who actually impacts the price of homes the most: The Federal Reserve.
That's conventional thinking, but that isn't what is happening now. Today's mortgage rate is pretty low compared to where it has been over the past 55 years, except for about a 10 year period that was spaced between 2008-2021.

Let's say an average Atlanta metro single-family house is $400k. Including taxes, a reasonably low HOA, home insurance, 20% down, and a fairly average (compared to the last 10 years) interest rate of 4.2, you're paying about $2050/month.

Current interest rates are quite high compared to the last 10 years but are quite low compared to outside of that short span of years. Even with a quite high rate of 6.5% compared to the last 10 years, that same homebuyer is only paying about $2450/month.

Do you think an extra $400 per month is keeping people from buying a $400k property, especially knowing they will be able to refinance within the next 3-5 years and get rid of that $400 addition? Not really.

The federal funds rate is not really impacting the price of homes in this market. The lack of available homes is what is the cause.

Conventional thinking is that as interest rates increase, homes on the market sit longer, and prices eventually tumble. In many areas, that phenomenon is not holding true. My unincorporated little town went from a population of 0 about 10 years ago to a population of about 12k now. They are continuing to build thousands of homes, and they continue to fly off the market. Exactly four years ago, a friend who lives a few blocks from me bought a single-family home for $1.1MM. Last month, she listed it for $2.3MM (other than a pool and hot tub, she hasn't done much to it). After realtor fees, she will easily make $1MM on that even though the interest rates have jumped from 2.8% when she bought it to nearly 6.8% now. The Fed having that higher rate hasn't impacted housing prices like historically has been the result. Her house, and others all over this region, aren't impacted when prospective buyers don't have much of an option if they want to get in the game due to lack of availability.

Starter/first-time buyer homes? Sure, the rate will impact them a bit more, but there are still enough buyers that homes aren't sitting and having their price impacted by it.

US Media: Trump Staged a Photo Op

A guy who was basically born a billionaire, who has made a career out of screwing over and defaulting on the little guy, who employs a team of accountants to create schemes around the tax code (learned from his father), who has filed for bankruptcy numerous times to avoid having to pay people he owes, who has been sued twice for racial discrimination, who has been convicted on 34 felonies, who has been found liable for the civil equivalency of rape, who has been married three times, and who is now married to an Eastern European who used to get paid to show her tits to guys is “real” and “a candidate for the people”?

Yes.
