Yeah right, give it a few hurricane seasons and they, too, will exit the FL market.

GA is looking more and more attractive with each passing day.

This is just beyond dumb.

<redacted> administration changes <redacted>-era rule, will ban liquefied natural gas on trains.

<redacted> canceled all of the Alaska drilling on Federal land. At the same time he stopped allowing liquid natural gas from being transported by train.

That leaves the only mode of transportation by trucking. About 2 months ago the largest trucking company went out of business:

Yellow, one of the nation's largest freight and trucking companies, announced it is shutting down, leading to one of the largest mass layoffs in recent history and potential shipping cost increases. The company is in bankruptcy just three years after getting a $700 million loan from taxpayers.

So that is going to create a massive supply chain issue of liquid natural gas which means your utility bills as well as the price of gas is going to skyrocket.

<redacted> used 300 million gallons of gas from our reserves to keep the gas prices artificially low. They can't do that anymore. They have set us up in every way to purposely make gas prices and utility prices skyrocket, so fill all of your gas cans, buy propane ect NOW while you can still afford it.

Y’all can thank me later.

No way lol I was just in McAllen not too long ago visiting family. I live about 5-6 hours north of McAllen, and it’s only marginally better up here :(

Can’t imagine it’s much better in Florida though

"Have you run into difficulty getting a loan recently?"

1 of 2 things are happening with the aggressive rate hikes:

1. Getting flat-out denied.
2. Getting qualified/approved for much less than before but with a much higher cost to borrow.

"The US dollar is king again."


If you are on the investing side and getting a return, then yes, the US Dollar is king. For the rest of the common kin folks on the spending/borrowing side, then no, the US Dollar is not going nearly as far as it used it.

"A former Marine was pulled over for following a truck too closely. Police took nearly $87,000 of his cash."

No crime and they took his cash because a K9 alerted to drugs on the money. Well, the majority of cash will have trace amounts of drugs.

In-law's relocated up there recently about 2 months ago and we will be following suit. I've actually gone to Atlanta/Marietta/Alpharetta area the past 5 weekends in a row to look at houses.

My house will be listed for sale soon, and this is where it pays to be a licensed realtor and mortgage loan originator at the same time (I will be representing myself for the sale and the purchase, and no games when it comes to the lending aspect). I'm actually looking forward to vetting out loan officers, and will switch lenders in a heartbeat if they use any dumb tactics.

Been looking at transfer options at work, as well as any opportunities with a different company in GA.

I'll bring ice cream :yum:

And I'll let you drive MZ SNOW WHITE :rofl2:

Between hurricanes, sink holes, 1 season of HOT@$$ weather year-round, property insurance increases and lack of options, it's time to move out of FL.

Friend just closed on a house today. Took 2 months for the closing to happened. And he was pre-approved.

It's a good feeling, esp. in today's economic environment. If someone is able to close on a home in current conditions, that means they are in good financial shape (in addition to having lots of patience on actually finding a home to close on).

They’re drooling at the thought of having the power to switch off your money supply anytime they feel like it.

Vote the wrong way? We take “our” money back.
Own a firearm? We’ll take “our” money back until you get rid of it.

It’s a Communists wet dream and certain people are trying very hard to get it done.

Ordering ammo online is PITA everywhere due to supply issues. Getting harder and harder to find.
