I had a feeling this was baitCare to explain yourself, pitbullowner?
You’re supposed to flip out and start ranting about how those statistics are just from bad owners but YOUR pit is a sweet angel.
Murder rates seeing double digit increases across the country.
H curious the city?Do they even keep looting and other crime statistics during a "peaceful protest"?
In my city, people are buying property distant from the center of town. Properties that were on the market for more than 6 months have multiple offers. Part of this is low interest rates, part of it is a greater demand for larger houses, and part of it is a desire to get as far away from high crime areas as possible.

Almost anyone who can work from home can be replaced by someone working in Bangalore or Warsaw. People really need to be careful what they wish for here. A lot of the people who bid up the prices of suburban homes are going to find themselves unemployed soon.This is happening all over the US. So many companies have moved to having people work from home that you no longer need to be near the office. A friend of mine lives in a mountain town 2 hours from the nearest major city, and houses used to sit on the market for 6+ months before they got a buyer. Now everything is sold and there are bidding wars for what remains. Low interest rates help, but also the general shift in how and where work gets done.
I have another friend who is in commercial real estate in a major US city. Office vacancies are high as companies abandon their office space, or downsize to a much smaller on-site staff. He has landlords willing to take 50 cents on the dollar for back rent, as they are so desperate for revenue.

The unemployment lines are full of people who were well-qualified and did a good job. Companies aren't going to settle for some savings on office space if they can save on labor, too. At minimum, a lot of the people working from their expensive NYC and San Fran apartments are going to be told their company's new pay rate is based on Tennessee's cost of living.Not if they are well-qualified and do a good job.
Capitalism creates not just an incentive but an actual *requirement* called a fiduciary duty, where the managers of capitalist organizations *must* operate as profitably as they can. In other words, they aren't just encouraged to lay off working American families and replace them with Bangalorees, they are to some degree required to.The unemployment lines are full of people who were well-qualified and did a good job.

One of my employees got carjacked last night at gunpoint when pulling into her parking garage down by Loring Park in Minneapolis. Stole her Mercedes, company laptop, and one client file. She’s ok, extremely shaken up. Minneapolis is totally out of control. Happening every day now, sometimes three per day. They tracked car on Mercedes app from her phone, police chased them twice, found them walking. One had car key fob in their pocket; police told her they could not prosecute based on this. Said if she wanted to pursue fingerprinting of her car, it would take weeks, and they’d need to keep it for that duration, due to being backed up in police department. Physically, she’s ok, mentally, she’s a wreck. Fuckers are going to walk. It’s much worse than it even seems. When I go downtown for meetings, it has to be before noon and still it’s an eerie & dangerous place.
