Small communities up here, with no extra capacity are struggling. Illegal immigration, huge numbers are taxing our ability to cope. Same everywhere I think.

Illegal immigration, huge numbers are taxing our ability to cope. Same everywhere I think. It’s rampant mostly in areas where housing and rent prices have escalated. I was in Bend, Oregon two weeks ago. The housing prices have literally gone bonkers over the last 18 months with the influx of California tech workers all working remotely. They’re paid salaries that few in Bend could compete. Residents are selling and taking huge profits. Rental costs are such that the locals can’t afford to live there. Homeless went from nonexistent to an estimated 2000 individuals and accelerating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even in my area, a spot you could have bought a house 5 years ago for $200k, a one bedroom apartment i now s $2000 a month. Who knew injecting billions into the economy, freezing rent controls and evictions, allowing millions more in would inflate the housing market?

When we were out west this summer, the amount of homeless around Seattle/Tacoma/Olympia was stunning to say the least. Never seen anything like it. Even in some of our small communities around here (think sub-5k), there have been homeless and panhandlers popping up where we have not seen it before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stopped at this brewery in Packwood, WA by Mt. Rainier. It was packed, only place to sit was at the end of this table of remote workers. Grabbed a couple beers, walked to the table, and some cunt was in a Webex and her manager called her out. Saw us walk past on the webcam carrying beers. That cunt thought we were somehow to blame for her not following her company's remote work rules. None of them looked overly engaged in their jobs.

We are heading the PCB in 2 weeks. Hoping for nice weather Where are you staying in PCB? We go every April. I think you will be fine weather wise. Any later might be hit or miss. We like Emerald beach resort. Really nice condos on the beach. Cape Coral/ Ft Myers is the best place to go in Florida. We do that December- March. Can usually count on decent weather.

Can usually count on decent weather. I rented a whole house in a gated community in Rosemary beach area. It’s a block off the beach. I had my finger on the trigger of many condos but I just don’t want to deal with idiots. I like easy parking , pulling right up to the house or having my vehicle right there to run to the store or whatever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get our groceries for the week and walk everywhere. We walk down to pier park and hit all the bars, Tootsies is usually a good party. Senor frog, Donovan’s is a dive bar we like. Mo’s bbq , little shack but great food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last spring I linked up with two guys that live in their rigs. One is a remote techie and the other a traveling ANP. Both have incomes well over $200k. The ANP has to carry his own health insurance but with his income it’s a non issue. The tech guy does data warehousing and is an animal with production. He can get a days work done in as little as three hours. Then he has the rest of the day to himself. Nice gig if you the skills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
