  1. Why not? While I do appreciate the inexplicable irreverence as a general bit, I hope this pompous ass has not moved back from Cali to Dallas. God forbid he’s anywhere near HP. Lulz.
  2. That’s not enough to live in Cali. Certainly not in coastal SoCal, Central Coast, or anywhere near the Bay Area. It would be a struggle in Bakersfield. It’d be a struggle in Austin, Dallas or Houston with a mortgage. Of course dude
  3. This was my recollection of BG and Afton Oaks and West U area closer to 59 from about 20 years ago, and why I mentioned them. $375/SF isn’t that much, relatively speaking. 10 years ago, you were lucky to get into HP at $400/SF. That has skyrocketed.
  4. Long post. Congrats pal. You got me. I guess. $375/SF isn’t that much.
  5. I would for sure. But I just don’t live there.
  6. Preston Hollow is closer to town. LH is in NE Dallas, just north of Lakewood. LH and Lakewood are affordable. Both are very tight knit good neighborhoods that love their sports and close to town. Preston Hollow is pricey. Probably akin to Tanglewood and why I didn’t include it. Heights is probably equidistant from town as LH is. Didn’t read your links but Briargrove can’t be that much? I’d never categorize them with the other 2. I figured someone might jump me on West U and Tanglewood. I haven’t lived in Houston in 19 years. My bad. I don’t live in LH. Christ am I talking to a bunch of 8-fig guys here?
  7. Ok? Doesn’t mean those 4 aren’t true “cities” whereas every other city in the union really isn’t.
  8. Not all. Lake Highlands isn’t expensive. I am sure there are comparable areas in Houston like Briargrove, or even Tanglewood or West U. I’m less familiar with Austin neighborhoods as I left in ‘96 and haven’t returned.
  9. 1. NYC by a longshot, and that’s saying something because the steak places are way behind Houston, and the Tex-Mex is nonexistent. 2a. Houston 2b. New Orleans
  10. I agree with a lot of this, but there are many neighborhoods city proper adjacent (3-10 miles from downtown) in Dallas, Houston and Austin that are within very short distance to restaurants/nightlife/cool parts of town that have excellent schools and sports for kids. I wouldn’t consider these suburbs.
  11. With the exception of NYC, San Francisco, Chicago (outside Chicagoland), and part of NO, I agree. That was my point. And I disagree it’s pathetic even though I’ve always lived in a city proper. It’s totally logical.
  12. They’re the same city with a manufactured rivalry. I’ve lived in them both. Dallas has plenty of “city” features to it, and FW is distinct from D. I’m knee deep in high school and middle school sports, and while I live here, I travel to suburbs all the fucking time for those activities, oftentimes multiple ones in the same day, so I understand the characterization. But in baseball, while we play all over the place, so do Houstonians, and we very often play in the same venues. It’s a beating but Dallas area (not FW), Houston and Austin have by far the best serious youth programs. FW and SA lag way behind. Edit to add that I love Houston, and agree that Texas has superior food to Cali and far superior to Denver. Houston is up there with NO and NYC food towns. Dallas lags. Austin is really good, and Dallas is getting better.
  13. Anecdotal as well but I know 5 couples here in Dallas that moved from Cali or Seattle. All doing very well. All complained about Cali/Seattle politics. All love it here. I imagine Austin gets a different crop of people.
  14. Kidd is handling THJ fine. If he’s off, he doesn’t really play much more than 15 minutes. PJ needs to just take the ball to the basket until he has a full offseason to work on his 3s.
  15. I don’t know. I suspect ‘25 but could be this year. Election could delay that. If Trump is elected, stock and crude markets will temporarily go down. Or not; I think both expect him to win. Permian will continue to churn out prolific wells that will offset other oil shale basins’ decline that exists today. The Eagle Ford, Bakken, D-J and others are in irreversible decline. People don’t realize that. Largely because the Permian is masking it. That will change, and I expect in ‘25. Maybe some signs of it this year but I expect election (and serious civil unrest) to keep it down in ‘24.
  16. I don’t want to discuss politics at all, but I know exactly with whom I’m dealing with you and the ugly whoremonger. I’m not going to read the article because I already know what it says and have posted three times why it’s wrong. It’s basic to anyone who follows the industry.
  17. Why is this about politics for you? I love Jamie Dimon. He’s the best CEO out there. He routinely owns grandstanding congressmen, in particular tlaib and Warren, and if he were to run as President I’d vote for him regardless of which party he’d run for and it’d probably be Democrat I’ve explained why it’s a bullshit report despite my affinity for Dimon and frankly JPM. You can argue with me, but then again, I strongly suspect you cannot.
  18. I won’t lift a finger to read a bullshit report. He’s had multiple opportunities to link it here but won’t because he knows it’ll be ridiculed. Go back to CR lil buddy.
  19. No there shouldn’t be any increased communication effort. If any idiots want to do a modicum of research, instead of emotionally rant, what you laid out is very easy to understand. Or they can choose to simply not attend UT. It might make for a less nutty Cloak Room in the future, but fuck that.
  20. Agreed. I’m no fan of Trump in general or his manipulation of oil prices, and he monkeyed with SPR as Biden has. Trump has a populist angle to keep prices lower but is a much bigger champion of the industry whereas Biden and his Energy Dept have been outright hostile. But any notion of energy independence then or now is fraught with ignorant folly at best and arrogant political scoreboarding for simpletons of whichever party to eat up. The posters that celebrated the JPM report of independence, I know at least 1 of the 5 knows better and probably 2 of 5. Again, that graph is meaningless nonsense. I would rather have a champion encouraging more exploration because whenever the Permian peaks, we’ll have a possible crisis.
  21. That the purported independence occurred in Trump’s 3rd year? I’m not sure that’s the message you want to convey to your CR buddies on the Dark Brandon thread. Regardless, it’s a totally meaningless sign. One that signals we have a glut of gas that isn’t compatible with most of our country’s transportation energy needs. The graph doesn’t tell anything other than that. I would argue it’s a BAD sign that your champion’s energy department has that much gas in its borders, and puts policies in place that show it has zero idea had to administer that tremendous resource.
  22. Is this the basis of JPM’s energy independence conclusion in the article you won’t link?
  23. Guy Richtie + Ray Winstone + Vinnie Jones = in. Also, Susie would get it.
  24. Link? I’d be interested to read an article where we produce 50% of what we consume (and not even that because of what we export) and a conclusion is we have energy independence. We have nat gas independence. We don’t have crude independence and never will again. Crude prices are irrelevant to one nation’s production / consumption / independence because of the global nature of the commodity. Gas independence is totally relevant to prices because of the regional nature of the commodity (lack of transport capability excluding minimal global LNG capacity). This is why the Biden admin’s LNG pause announcement, while it has no immediate impact, was monumentally stupid. I’m bullish on crude in the short mid and long term mainly because of the hyperbolic declining nature of US shale. When the Permian peaks, and it will later this year of ‘25, it’ll possibly set off a slight panic. Bearish on gas in the short term and maybe mid term. Long term I think we are in the early innings of a 15 year super up cycle.
