Another shining example of why liberals should never be put in charge of anything.

Don't forget to take the poll too.

here’s the problem

the “home owners” actually think they shouldn’t have to pay for thier home

I have a Christian old lady friend who is owed more than 5K in rent, for Heaven’s sake, by some operator who keeps asserting she is expecting a car wreck settlement and will pay her rent then. I keep telling my friend to get rid of her tenant and that I will do it for her, but my friend thinks if she waits it out, she will get her money. To which I snort.

but yeah, the tenant thinks my friend is “rich” and should spot her for the rent, disgusting

Tell your friend to kick them to the curb. The free ride is over. They’ll trash the house (if they haven’t already).

You are describing my grandmother.

She had such a tenant and took payment in wrought iron stuff. I still have some of it.

Maryland is third in the nation for homes in foreclosure actions, lead largely by a flurry of foreclosure activity

Not sure we should trust a source that can't spell "led" correctly. I still keep an eye on the real estate market and Maryland is not high on the lists I see.

Endless building going on out here in Howard county Maryland. Every field and forest will be mowed over for housing or businesses here. Plenty of gov $$$ here and an endless supply of immigrants to fill them.
(my taxes keep going up)

Guess Balt or Prince Georges counties don’t appeal to them.

Guess who lives in the Counties mentioned.
Thaat’s right. Obama voters.

O’Malley Democrats, the people who keep putting Steny Hoyer back in office.

Guess where Maryland’s criminals live. Guess where all of the darker set that is being moved out of Washington DC have settled. The riot corridors of 1968 in DC have turned white. U street, 14th.st. even H st. Of Course that hasn’t effected across the river in Anacostia yet. That is still the quickest way to get killed in DC , Go to Anacostia.

..."the spike in foreclosures will continue until year’s end..."

The spike will continue until 2 years after Obama leaves office, there is a Republican President, and the recovery is actually underway based on factual data.

Your post gives me bad flashbacks.
Tell your friend to start eviction proceedings with an off-the-record apology to the tenant that shifts the responsibility to elsewhere. Say the insurance company or the big bad bank requires her by contract to start the process at a specific stage of tenant arrears. The old goodcop-badcop routine.
There is probably no “car wreck settlement” at all (95% certain), and if there is, the tenant will spend it on anything but the back rent (99.99% certain).

Ironically DHS is relocating to the St. Elizabeth’s campus in Anacostia. Right near the corner of MLK jr. and Malcom X. Projected to have 14,000 employees and only 2500 parking spots. Getting to work from the Metro is going to be a daily version of the “Warriors.” (Obscure movie reference......check)

Come to Pennsylvania. Except for the cities it’s pretty clear of the things you’re sick of, yet not too far from civilization. My property tax is under 500/year, and this house in Maryland or Delaware or Jersey would be way over 5000.
Plus, there is no way they’ll ever get every field and forest in PA, even if China annexes it.

What a great place to put them, in the former institution for the insane. Hopefully Howard Hall the former residence of the criminally insane.

The employees will be right at home.

I have noticed a lot of buildings being built at St. E’s surely they will put on some new parking.

I remember when Malcolm X St. was the former Portland St. and MLK was Nichols Ave..

I grew up in Columbia, left in 1990. Still go back to visit friends and am amazed how fast it has grown. When I left 29 had stop lights. Now it’s mostly clover leafs.

It’s not obscure to people who grew up in the ‘70s & ‘80s.

RE :”I grew up in Columbia, left in 1990. Still go back to visit friends and am amazed how fast it has grown. When I left 29 had stop lights. Now it’s mostly clover leafs.”

It started around the late 90s really getting going under GWB low interest rates and increases in government spending, still going strong.

Besides that back in 1990 was the period of lots of enclosed malls. You could always find one nearby booming in the 1980s.
By the early 2000s most had died replaced by either discount chain stores (in strip malls) like BJs and just a few of the malls like Columbia, Arundel Mills and Towson growing massive for those with $$$ to spend.

A few that died I am familiar with: Owings Mills, Laural, Hunt Valley, Golden Ring, Chatham.

I think it was the movement out of the city that caused much of that.
