    I appreciate the reply, I hadn't seen these before and I'll do some more research on them. My initial reaction is how does this address the issue of developing more units in dense …

    The comment is about landlords being predatory, not about an underwater investment.

    It wasn't like that at all when I worked there. Quite the opposite, people were very quiet so we could do focused work, we did our work, then went home. We usually ate lunch togeth…

    Right now interest rates are low, they cannot use them as a tool in a crisis, for this reason they are printing money to lower the overall debt obligation of the US. Inflating away…
