They are going so fast it is insane- because the tax base of the city is busy tripping over themselves to get out.

Didn't you meant sell?

Though I understand, really. Rethuglican drivel is not intended to have any resemblance of logic nor any affinity to truth.

No, I mean buy.
Houses in suburban Philadelphia don't stay on the market more than a day or two.

The City's tax base is fleeing.

You do understand the difference between "city", and "suburb", do you not?

Houses in Atlanta proper and in the Atlanta suburbs don't stay on the market for long, either. I guess that means everyone is leaving!

Apparently the White House will go in to full lockdown tonight.

Nothing says "of the people, by the people, for the people" quite so powerfully as an 8 foot high fence reinforced with 18 inches of concrete

Correction: nothing says "your country has filled up with millions of civilizationally incompatible pieces of crap" quite so powerfully as needing to take such measures.

Given that President Trump significantly outperformed the polls in swing states last time around, I'm tempted to believe the so called "skewed" polls AND give him the margin of error too.

As a result, IMO Biden +5 points is too close to call so Michigan is a Trump-leaning toss-up and Biden is just edging Wisconsin.

edited to add.....

Florida and Pennsylvania are IMO lost causes and will go to President Trump by a comfortable margin.

I've mentally doubled Trump's chances of winning in any state based on voter suppression or voiding.

That assertion is meaningless without concrete numbers and hard data. How many? How high prices? When it started? Are there other cities suffering same fate?

In other words, or rather one word: why?

Yea, overlooked that part.
 
The PDJT is currently giving a little speech at the RNC offices in Virginia. (I noticed they have FOX News on their TV, of course.) Sounds raspy and looks exhausted and almost defeated. He even brought up the L-word possibility ("losing"). I'm enjoying that.

Cool. Now all you have to do is tie that to riots and looting.

You don't know what you're talking about Bob. Homes in most American cities are significantly more expensive than outside those cities. A 1,000 square foot apartment in downtown Seattle is worth more than a 2,000 square foot home on a quarter acre 15 miles away.

Seems that the White House are confident of victory though. :(

Why else would they need that wall ?

To protect them from all the partying lefties who don't want to wait until 2021 to drag his sorry ass out and throw him into the Potomac. Duh.

Yes. Real estate is a booming industry right now as people flee the cities.
There are influxes of investor money in the urban neighborhoods- it is a good time to snatch up property to rent out- and it is safer than keeping ones' cash in China.

For more enjoyment, listen to his Fox & Friends call-in this morning.

Definitely is an influx of New Yorkers currently into NJ, but doubt there is hard polling data of the reasoning. More work from home opportunity seems like the larger and most obvious possibility.

I need do no such thing.
If you wish to reject an obvious reality because it sits uncomfortably upon your world-view, feel free.
I am experiencing it first-hand, and your assertions that what is happening is not happening are so laughably out of touch that bothering to disabuse you of your illusions is exhausting to contemplate.

Yeah, I thought most large cities are seeing an exodus as Covid rages on and restaurants and other social gathering areas are closed.

Living in NYC would have been great, even in a ****** apartment. Living in NYC under lock down and without any restaurants or other social gathering places would be like living in a ****** apartment anywhere else in the world. What's the point?
