Assisted living costs $5,400 to $6,300
Cost to build assisted living is $475k-$530k a unit
You need $11k-$13k rates to justify putting shovels in the ground
Construction starts are at record lows because nothing pencils

2008 was insane. Values were absolutely tanking in San Bernardino and many parts of the Inland Empire
Values dropped 70-80%+ in some extreme examples
I saw some condos drop from $325k to $80k from 2007-2011
People today have NO CLUE how insane that was
No clue.
Imagine home values falling 15-20% per year for many years
Example below is probably a foreclosure then an REO sale
At one point there were THOUSANDS of house for sale under $100k. Thousands.
In the hardest-hit ZIP codes of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, sub-$100,000 properties frequently made up 30% to 50% of the active local inventory
Banks are smarter now, they will never let that happen again.
2008-2012 is gone but never forgotten
We will never see another opportunity like that again in our lifetime

Them: "A family compound is too expensive."
Me: Compared to what?
What we call "normal" is actually the most expensive way to live.
Daycare that costs as much as a mortgage.
Elder care that drains life savings.
Multiple rents, multiple utilities, multiple insurance bills.
A family compound doesn't create new costs – it consolidates them.
Shared land.
Shared infrastructure.
Shared resources.
Shared tools.
Shared groceries.
Shared gardens.
Shared childcare & elder care.
This is how families lived before everything was monetized and outsourced.
And no... the current system isn't getting cheaper.

“Of all the prevailing media narratives around Gavin Newsom, the one that is most conspicuous by its absence is how under its two-term governor California became the top performing economy not just among its 49 siblings but also any developed nation.”

I built an AI renovation visualizer that replaces $2K+ in 3D rendering costs with a 10-minute workflow.
Contractors and real estate pros are using these media assets to close more deals faster.
It's all powered by a CustomGPT + Calico AI.
Here's how it actually works:
→ Upload any room photo to the AI Room Renovator GPT
→ It analyzes the space and generates 12 style-matched renovation concepts
→ Use the prompts to generate renovated images from your original photo
→ Kling 3.0 within Calico animates the transformation. Original room morphing into the finished design
→ Stack start frame, animation, and end frame in CapCut — done
The result: contractors send clients a cinematic renovation preview before a single wall gets touched.
That's how you close the project before the client shops around.
If you want the full step-by-step tutorial and a link to the tools used: comment "RENO" and I'll send over. (must be following so I can DM)

Be prepared, there is a small chance that our horrendous leadership could unknowingly lead us into World War III.

Many chronic interrupters aren't being rude—they might be quick thinkers whose minds jump to conclusions, connections, or responses before the speaker finishes.
Their internal processing speed outpaces the ~150-200 words per minute of typical conversation.

BREAKING: UFC fighter Brandon Royval, after refusing to fight at the White House:
“I don’t give a fuck about any of our political figures right now, and it’s like to fight in front of them seems like some fucking ‘Hunger Games’ type of fucking shit. I don’t give a fuck to fight in front of some fucking billionaires and rich people that could give a shit less about me. Probably throwing parlays. Fuck you guys.”

After today's Los Angeles city council vote further tightening rent caps below inflation, what is the investment case for investing in rent controlled apartments in L.A. instead of in T-bills or a high-yield savings account?

Though most people think of Northern & Southern California as the dividing lines in the state, perhaps we should start thinking of Eastern versus Western California.
In fact, half of California’s population lives east of Interstate 5, half lives west.
Let’s get into it!

Landlords will now be forced to supply a stove and a refrigerator on all tenancies established as of Jan. 1, 2026. On this basis, it makes sense for landlords to increase rents. Thank you politicians, good job!
