OFFICIAL 2020 STIMULUS CHECK THREAD

[Mark Antony]

Yea that’s why I ain’t pressed to move back to ATL…The prices down there anywhere “nice” in or close to city creeping up on DMV, they losing ground on the COL benefit

Yeah when the mini mansions out in the burbs out there were 250k, sure. Now they're creeping up on 900k too, nah, no way. Plus, you still have to bring in a decent paying job because they're not there.

Yea that’s the nastee part, salaries still reflect 2005 COL in the south

Gotta bring your work from home or transfer salaries down there

 

[Raji Lowenthal]

Hats must be a huge deal to some, lol.

Gotta be if you putting your life in danger simply by wearing one.

 

[TURBO UNO]

Yeah, just depends on where your at. Most know who to press. This isn’t a regular occurrence though, not at the places I mentioned earlier, got folks wearing all sorts of hats in this sunny weather.

 

[fluid hips]

I heard it was mad expensive in Hawaii as well

It is. Getting goods in and out of there is expensive

Cali gang politics

Cats won't pull up to the nice areas and press people on the rampant inequality

 

[mplsdunk]

That’s why cost of living isn’t everything. Yeah mn is expensive but I make triple what I’d make down south.

California is expensive but I just checked their wages I’d make 55 an hour base with big shift differential. 110 an hour on Sunday.

Still don’t know if that’s livable in NorCal the way you guys make it sound though.

It’s doable in the suburban areas. Closer you get to water, it gets tougher….

 

[mplsdunk]

I like the Tahoe area but I’m too broke for that. Idc about water. I like mountains and forests.

55hr is what 120k a year roughly with out taxes rent for a 1 bed room 800sqft will be 2500-4000 depending if you want an apartment. Buying a house in NorCal at minimum for a decent house 1 mil anywhere near SF forget about it 55hr isn’t enough

Come down the mountain a bit, closer to Sac, it gets cheaper. But the higher you go the higher the price lol..

 

[mplsdunk]

Sac isn’t that bad. Last time I was there it was just kind of whatever but not like a bad spot by any means.

 

[Air Champa]

Damn shame someone can make 100K+ and be close to homeless

You would think something would eventually give, but I don't know. Even if they built a bunch of new homes, what's to stop regular people from being outbid by billion dollar corporations if they take interest in an area.

Prices went up there as well unfortunately it’s wild man

People been getting robbed in Melrose and Beverly Hills like crazy.

 

[tay1]

You’ll be fine in Cali making 120k

And you can for sure find places to rent cheaper than $2500. My girl has a nice spot in Los Feliz for $1500.

 

[mplsdunk]

That’s just me. My wife works too. Just good to know what’s out there because I can’t do mn winters forever.

 

[TURBO UNO]

Yup, I came across a local LA news report on YouTube about it. Got dudes on e-scooters robbing people and bouncing just as quickly. Tourists never knew what hit’em.

that’s what happens all over SF. people put in offer above asking but companies come in and out down offers $100k-Mil over asking in cash and it’s a wrap

Facts, when people talk about I’m moving to ATL I’m like oh you haven’t been there lately huh.

 

[Grine]

I’m in downtown Decatur (10 mins from
Atlanta) - 2bedroom homes going for 475K

At this point I don’t even know if building more helps. The more you build the more they take. We’re all just F’d.

 

[townbidness]

Man all these new homes by my area got no yards.
Signs say “starting in the low 800s”.
Never selling my home the way prices are,

Downtown Decatur known as kinda “nice” now so I’m not

Gentrification hit the east side of the city out to downtown Decatur crazy

 

[DB Cooper]

Been seeing a few stories where folks that were having a brand new house built, only to get told by the contractor that they are terminating their contract and selling it to a higher bidder.
