Buying Empire!

geekster · Post by **geekster** » Sun Dec 05, 2010 11:14 pm

You would probably be better off moving to Gerlach than Empire. USG is going to want to keep that property for when/if housing ever comes back. That will probably be about 40 years from now, after the boomers are done selling off their homes and moving into retirement places.

As they move out of their last homes, there is going to be a huge surplus of housing in this country. Another reason to raze any home older than 10 years when if it goes into foreclosure. The generation moving into housing is smaller than the generation moving out of it. We are going to have quite a surplus for quite a long time.

Thanks for posting the blog addy. Very interesting read. One of my friends is a school teacher in Gerlach.

Nobody, including this hurting corporation, is going to spend money maintaining empty homes. They're going to start falling apart, USG is more likely to sell them for instant revenue rather than pouring cash into their upkeep.

Can i be the town drunk/mammographer?

I wonder if we can run a virtual town, with all the Town officials spread out around the country. Town meetings can be held on "Go To Meeting" and we can have all virtual residents all over the world.

So what is it called when he keeps hitting the folds in his belly by "attempting" to touch his toes, repetitively, in a high speed fashion.....MIDDLE Wife?

Oh goody gum drops, nobody took the best job there is, Commodore of the Empire Yacht Club

And as Commodore, I will oversee the construction of a brand spanking (heh heh) new club house that positively sparkles along the banks of the sprawling Frog Pond. The dress code will be strict as well with partial to full nudity required. However, sticky buns will get you half off on your membership.

Wozza, I can already picture Wednesday night round the can races

Burning tract housing I'm cool with, but don't condemn every old house. I'm living in a 95 year old place these days, and this thing is bomb-proof. Not terribly well insulated, but I'm fixing that quite easily.

Gee, wonder what I wanna be?

Excessive use of fake-fur is at the top of my list. Anyone who looks like they came from a 1982 Haysi Fantayzee video but thinks they're cutting edge & modern is next.
