By i can get you a toe Go To PostI'd like to know the type of apartment/rental too, as I said, the only drops I've seen round here are new developments that were asking for bullshit prices in the first place.That's an average for all apartments, thats just how averages work. I don't think there is data for just new or just old apartment listings.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostLovely place but no, thank you lol. The air quality is awful over there and it smelled worse than New York City the last time I went.Now now, let's not go that far
By diehard Go To PostThat's an average for all apartments, thats just how averages work. I don't think there is data for just new or just old apartment listings.So it's a useless statement.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostSo it's a useless statement.But your anecdotal evidence is useful?
You came in like "but prices are lowering on rentals in larger cities" to a very real housing crisis issue. Then when the numbers are dissected further it's even more suss.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostYou came in like "but prices are lowering on rentals" to a very real housing crisis issue. Then when dissected further it's even more suss.I never said the housing crisis wasn't a real thing, it is. Rent prices decreasing was a datapoint to add to why home prices have been increasing as people have been moving out of downtown and increased the demand for home ownership.
By diehard Go To PostPoor usage of the word "Housing".?
Rent prices in the largest cities has actually been falling.
By diehard Go To PostThere is absurd and then there is San Francisco absurd though.?
Sorry but what are you even arguing. And SF isn't the only absurd place. It's shitty in Portland too and we're not even LA, NYC, Seattle, Chicago, MIami...
I'm sorry, what are you arguing? I said rent prices in the largest cities are declining and presented data to back that up when it was refuted. I have no argument against housing being too expensive.
Specifically Portland:

Specifically Portland:
Rents have dropped in the downtown area by about 6% since the start of 2020, Basham said. An average one-bedroom apartment in Portland is listed for around $1,120 by apartmentlist.com.

Christ you really don't get it and listing downtown portland to me is even more lol. And exactly what we're discussing amongst ourselves in terms of "lol them prices."
By i can get you a toe Go To PostChrist you really don't get it and listing downtown portland to me is even more lol. And exactly what we're discussing amongst ourselves in terms of "lol them prices."Portland as a whole is down too but whatever, there is clearly no discussion here.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostWhat? Montreal doesn't even register on the cities with expensive rent. You must be thinking of Toronto or Vancouver....I said coming up.
Yeaah, Vancouver is no go.
By diehard Go To PostPortland as a whole is down too but whatever, there is clearly no discussion here.I would ask for who but you'd just quote me more averages and percentages with no insight as to what they mean.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostI would ask for who but you'd just quote me more averages and percentages with no insight as to what they mean.I would give you a number but you would just come back with anecdotal evidence to refute them.
At some point one has to question what the data is all about or sourcing when you're seeing everyone around you who rents not seeing drops and even the opposite. But sure, my shit anecdotal, whatever.
By i can get you a toe Go To PostAt some point one has to question what the data is all about or sourcing when you're seeing everyone around you who rents not seeing drops and even the opposite. But sure, my shit anecdotal, whatever.Questioning the data is fine, but at a macro scale that's all I can go off. These are the metrics we have for determining rent prices, similar to the metrics we have for determining home prices. Either way I don't really think there is much of argument here.
Feel like the EU is catching a lot of shit for export controls considering export controls are why the US and UK are doing so well at vaccinating
The idea that the UK is slowed down by 2 months and it only saves the EU a week is some real shitty number wanging. Those vaccines will go to real people in the EU, it won't speed the EU up that much because the population is that much larger

I only casually follow this so please correct me if I'm wrong.

By diehard Go To PostIf only Britain could get its act together maybe the EU will allow it to join its bloc so they could participate under this large negotiation power.
Don't know which thread this belongs in
What I am trying to say is: this is a self-made problem for Britain. I guess leaving the EU didn't bring the forth this magical negotiating power, huh?
I really don't know enough to say anything about that situation other than the 2 months/1 week math seems flatly absurd
By Pac-12 Go To PostTalking about rents going down in a huge pandemic-driven economic downturn. That's rich.I mean do you really want to get into the nuances of things like lumber prices doubling, the cost of labor increasing or should we just keep doing the only blame Boomers and Capitalism schtick? Let's not forget our favorite taglines like "working as intended" too. To be completely fair, I'm not sure I have the required energy or required knowledge to debate such a complex topic very well.
By reilo Go To PostIf only Britain could get its act together maybe the EU will allow it to join its bloc so they could participate under this large negotiation power.But.. it did work? The UK specifically did better because of their separate contracts from the EU.

Say what you will about the global fincancial meltdown in 2008-2009, but at least rent was more affordable.

I only casually follow this so please correct me if I'm wrong.The UK has first choice on Oxford vaccines, because of their funding agreement. So, while not an outright export control, it was something that pushed the UK's priorities higher than others, regardless of who bought first (EU bought Oxford-AZ before the UK). The UK also stopped Oxford partnering with (American) Merck, with the understanding that working with a US company would harm the UK pipeline.
Meanwhile, the German funded Biontech vaccine did not have an EU first clause, and was allowed to partner with Pfizer leading to massive US production of the vaccine being prioritised for Americans.
I think the EU fucked it, hugely, but I don't know that calling them out for vaccine export controls seems fair, when that's what both the UK and US have done in all but name

Biontech wasn't fully funded by Germany and had quite alot of private investors, but either way they could have had alot more vaccines secured, if they didn't wait that long.
Pfizer was also necessary cause they didn't have the infrastructure to mass produce everything at Biontech. They set up new factories to produce, but they were just not prepared to handle everything. So Pfizer was a good choice as partner.
Main problems for the EU was that it partially ordered to late at certain places and not enough. It was pretty clear at one point that Biontech would be first, they could have helped setting up new production place and ordered more.
And putting their money on Sanofi cause France wanted it badly to suceed, which did not happen.

By LabouredPatriot Go To PostDid many of them actually get the golden ticket to America that was dangled in front of them?depends. there are levels to interpreters.
some local dude that you just happen to build a rapport with on routine patrols through an area? honestly those types are lucky to even be allowed on a base and far too often those guys get lumped into the same group as the super hard to find college educated or incredibly dialect nuanced types that are fought over at every level.
the two guys i worked with the most were pretty high up. one was from iran actually. ran away when he was in his 20s and i met him when he was in his early 50s i think (could never guess his actual age). dude swore up and down he was a basketball prodigy and i only humored that bullshit until our basketball tourney. mcbuckets. talked all kinds of shit too. he actually got me smoking too. i think he flipped the time with the US into a full time position in kuwait actually. i know he had zero interest in coming to the us mainland. loved us money tho
another guy was from pakistan but he was rich af. legit joined for citizenship and i honestly feel he pulled on one over on everyone lol. cool motherfucker fr. stayed in those zumba classes turning aunties out. one of the smartest guys i've ever met. pretty sure he's in indonesia or vietnam now if things went according to keikaku.
most legit linguists are in supreme demand and eat free wherever they fuckin want
