That's ok, if you did you wouldn't be a fit for this board 🙂.

I am broke...

Not even waterfront.

We know, but we are putting our faith in Gorilla Glue on this one. I think there is hope….they have amazing commercials!

My Niagara County house, bought in 2017, has more than doubled in value in 8 years. (Probably more than that, even, with all we've done to it.) But the exponential scale of equity accrued by Thompson's developed property in nearly half the time is bonkers. Money makes money. Affluent markets make money. Warm climate non-flood zones make money. 

 

Eventually the property values in WNY and CNY will increase at an accelerated pace compared to country-wide due to higher latitude advantages like improving agriculture and viticulture conditions and legendary fresh water access. Whereas the Carolinas will be subject to intense heat events and destructive extreme weather disasters. Outside of WNY's own localized disasters like floods and blizzards, the general YoY trends will take much longer to reach cataclysmic levels in much of NYS. The temperature trendlines of the Great Lakes are probably the most impactful markers of future problems. (Lake Erie gets REALLY warm these days; harmful algae blooms are increasingly common, as is reduced winter ice cover which leads to heavier lake effect totals.) 

 

Where is your residence in relation to flood zones and watersheds?

Yes, I do.

 

Looks great.  A nice little summer and vacation getaway cottage to spend a few days relaxing.

We just spent a long weekend with the grandchildren on vacation. I mentioned this great news to the 2 1/2 year old, and it did not seem to relieve her. The screaming in the restaurant at breakfast continued. 🤷‍♂️

 

 

P.S. - It’s nice to be the grandparents. Just hand them back!

I’ll be very disappointed if he doesn’t have an Open House when the Bills fans come to town. I think that would be the proper gesture.

 

Now would be a good time to look into adequate insurance, including an umbrella policy to cover the things that only Bills fans could think of! 

get all the tables out!
