Setting aside being irony poisoned, what’s the HB/SB number?

I think I can still expand it 4 feet leftwards before the rain.

In retrospect, not sure I tilled deep enough. I think I went only 8 inches down and need to go about 12. And the soil becomes very clay-like after about 4-5, rocky, and with some smattering of roots from nearby trees. Rain doesn’t start until evening tomorrow. Will measure in the morning.

I’ve probably spent $4,000 in a year on stupider stuff.

I need to go and find my 30-year-old Vandy starter jacket. It’s somewhere in my parents’ house.

Watching Nuremberg and while I don’t speak German, Russell Crowe’s German sounds about as good as his Greek accent.

Oh, and I've seen rabbits, foxes, and armadillos out here, so I'm going to have to stake out the perimeter and put up chicken wire.

I've also seen crows but only once, so maybe some strips of something reflective on the stakes. Or a full blown scarecrow. Who knows?

This screams, "a year later it's broken and they don't sell replacement parts here."

Right now this about 4x6 and I want to extend it leftwards until it’s about 18x6. But that’s going to be over several weekends.

It’s also a flat spot on top of a pretty steep hill so I’m going to have to make a set of little trenches and set in some brick to make some steps up to make it easier.

I’m going to be out of town for a family reunion, otherwise I totally would.

I’ve helped my MIL for years with her garden and know how to start seedlings. Even did so with some grape tomatoes we bought from Kroger. Have a little greenhouse I need to set up. Out back too.

Jing got this drum/ xylophone thing for the kid that can switch from the glockenspiel to saying animal names.

I told her that was mistake.

Now I’m working on my masterpiece.

She agrees it was a mistake.

So the options, in theory, are more likely to expand with this legislation if institutional buyers wanted to stay in the housing game.

They own 3 SFH, well, have to give that up or push them to be multifamily to buy 3 more if you already own 100.

The way the legislation is written, it caps SFHs at 100 for any institutional buyer.

The work around as I see it to add more to their portfolio, however, particularly if they own multiple adjacent SFHs, is to push to rezone to multifamily.

Here's what happens when private equity buys homes in your neighborhood What makes rents go down and neighborhood diversity go up? Corporate landlords. But they also make it harder to own for yourself.
