    Home for Sale in S Austin - 4/3 2714 sq ft, over half an acre lot.. (Thad and buddy flip home) - https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/5306-Mc-Carty-Ln_Austin_TX_78749_M89494-20496

    Was curious and went back to see if this one was still on the market. Curious to hear what the feedback is for it to have been on the market for several months and taken over a $100k price reduction. From the stories on this board about the Austin market that seems really out of the ordinary.

    In Texas, this only works for early voting. On Election Day you have to vote at your precinct voting location. Not sure about rules in other states. 

    Perhaps sports should go on a hiatus for several days before Election Day for this very purpose. 

    Not sure about other counties, but in Harris you can vote at any precinct on Election Day.

    It’s quite surprising that it missed the mark with you. Ultimately I don’t think you’re in any of the target demographics. I watched a total of 20 mins between both conventions so I’m gonna have to take your word for it about most of what you said. 

    I do think it’s interesting that you accuse Rs of being out of touch with reality, but Ds just had an entire convention without, to my understanding, addressing any of the violence/riots/looting in cities. You know, the stuff your preferred media called “mostly peaceful protests”. But, as soon as they get word back from polling or whatever that it’s not going over well, they start half assed denouncements and their media mouthpieces start running interference trying to shift blame elsewhere.
     

    So who is really out of touch with reality?

     

    How can you claim that if you admittedly only watched 10 minutes of the DNC?

    And you wonder why the under 40 crowd are turning into full-blown socialists. We've been left with little other choice.

    That doesn't impact just the under 40 crowd. That impacts every citizen of the country that doesn't die before 2023.

    Then she better hurry up and find a new sugar daddy.

    She's tainted for life. Who the hell would want to be anywhere near her after she allowed that troll to have sex with her?

    I honestly believe Scott Elder has some sort of mental handicap. Which begs the question, why would you buy a car from him? I guess if you "bring home 400 a week" and wanna drive a 25k car, you're probably on the same level as him.

    I don't understand how he has such a large advertising budget. Does anyone actually buy Mitsubishis? I'm not seeing them all over the road.

    I texted my mom and brothers that Trump was going to win maybe 45 minutes into reporting, hours before the networks started intimating that he had it. They thought I was crazy. The map guy on CNN will give you what you need to figure it out, you just have to walk it out a bit further in your own head. If they wanted to, the networks could give really good analytics and could probably project a winner 30 minutes in, but they're not going to do that, for obvious reasons. I'm pretty sure CNN's map guy knew, he had a couple of "oh shit" moments that I caught, because I was sort of in the middle of my own.

    Similar thing here. Was living in AZ last election. Walked into the living room around 4:30 to turn on CNN and start watching the returns. By the time my wife got home from work between 5:30 and 6, I told her it was already over and to settle in for a long night of drinking.

    And in the 5 years I've been coming here there hasn't been much of a cycle, but yeah I get it. That's part of the reason of renting for months, looking for some sort of bargain. 

    Just wait. It's coming. Lived in AZ for 17 years and went through two big down cycles. Made good money buying low-ish and selling high-ish (sold last year and moved to TX - could have held and sold this year, but don't like timing market) and making good money both times. Know too many people who have lost their shirts in the RE market. Now is not a buyer's market in AZ, but it's coming.

    I can confirm the Tucson market is the same. Been looking for a couple of months here to buy and if you aren't first, you're last. Starting to get a little frustrating with cash in hand.... may have to revisit the $Stonk thread....

    Arizona is one of the most cyclical markets in the country, second only to Vegas/Nevada. Why would you be looking to buy at the absolute top of the cycle? Give it six months or a year and buy at the next crash.

    It's an add on says Thad, and he says that picture makes it look a lot bigger.  That's a 10 foot door too.

    He should consider different photography to make the perspective better if that's the case. That photo makes it look way out of proportion and like an afterthought tacked onto the front of the house. I would skip past that house based on that photo alone if I was looking.

    It gets so hot the ac can’t keep up I’m sure. Car yes (once it takes some time) but the house is a cool 85). In my experience (not Phoenix but dry heat) the advantages of it being dry go away at about 105-108. Anything g over that is just misery even if it’s dry. 

    Lived in PHX for 17 years and the A/C kept up just fine. I ran the A/C at 68 all night and had zero problems. I live in Houston now and the unit that serves our bedroom runs all night to keep it at 68. The difference in humidity also makes it easier to cool since the A/C isn't having to remove so much moisture from the air.

     You are 100% right on the parent thing.  It's a problem.  Logic tells me there are a lot of working parents who can't help due to their jobs, and I don't know what to do there - it's a structural economic issue more than anything.  But those parents seem to get shouted out by these "fuck, now I have to raise these kids too?" parents when I read the stories. There's one of the parents in the WSJ article like that - just shocked that 2 of her 4 kids under 10 required constant supervision to stay on task.  She acts like she had no idea that a kid that age needs supervision "from 9 to 2" - 7 whole straight hours each day.  She planned to spend that whole time teaching her 4-year-old "letters and numbers."  That part of the article just reads as sympathetic to the idea that "I had 4 children, now you assholes expect me to also take care of those 4 children? I can't do that!"

    Hope you're not responsible for the math lessons in your house.
