    Even better pro-move is to schedule the email to send at 4:31am, so you can be dead asleep but still appear to GAF. 4:31 being a little more random than 04:30:00...

    People that don't show up until noon but still want to order lunch with the office. Thanks for making everyone wait for YOU!

    Stop following that dude around. At least they're consistent when they go there...

    Actually, we did try selling one of the properties earlier this year, and it fell right in line with the market estimates. That said, I'm completely in agreement there. The Austin market is mostly driven by the Lakeway / Westlake / Terrytown bored housewives / Realtor initiative. And I couldn't be happier that the association of Realtors were gifted that huge punch in the junk recently. I really struggle to find how a realtor ever acts in the best interest of a buyer, all the while having their income driven by a percentage of the purchase price. Their incentivized to ratchet every dollar they can out of the buyer. How else can they afford their G-Wagons and Lexuses.

    Market, not appraisal. TCAD will drop an appraisal value as often as aggy wins a national championship in football.
  7. PvilleStang
    Our residence dropped in value 20% since the peak, while one of our rentals went down 38% since the peak, and another dropped 41% (county, not City of Austin). The market is CLEARLY in correction phase from the over-valuation.
  8. PvilleStang
    They absolutely have gone down. The county appraisals were more smoothed out from the constant spikes, but our appraised values in TC went way up in 2020 and 2021 after the pandemic shortages and run up, only to come down in value 30-40% of the peak value. Given the appraisal district only values around the EOY value of the property, and also takes a beating on protests, we've only seen is really plateau and come down 5-10% of the peak value. And I know the values weren't far off because we bought in 2020, then saw several of our neighbors sell their houses in the last year or two, and the prices pretty much match what Zillow has been estimating. Only exception to that rule was when we had a neighbor throw in $250K over ask to kill the multi-bid situation (they were coming from San Fran area, go figure). That one overshot the estimate by a mile.

    Tax RATE is increasing yearly, while the market is in a correction phase right now. The fact that our appraisals have gone DOWN YoY and the net value of our properties have gone down somewhere around 30-40% from their peak (using Zillow estimates of our property values), all while our annual tax bill has only increased (our Austin property is not homesteaded, so no argument of catching up on that cap) shows you this is patently false. Now take into account for Landlords, many are unable to cover the increased costs of taxes and rising insurance rates because of the increased amounts of rental inventory along with the stagnation of population growth. Renters bitch when their monthly rent goes up 10%, but they don't realize the cost just went up 70% to the owners.

    Bullshit. The average Austin voter approves anything put in front of them so long as Casar or Alter or some other moron endorses it first. Project Connect ring a bell? Our taxes are in a rapid ascent in the last decade, and no end in sight.

    My only question is why not make concourse B symmetrical? Seems like you could get another 15 gates in there...

    Will there be Subway service to the airport?

    I'm no botanist, but pretty sure it's Kudzu. It tends to ooze white sap when you pull it, too, which is sticky as hell. Cleaning that crap out of the bushes and off the side of the house is right up there with watching soccer from the bleachers on a 110 degree day.

    Can't stand the vines, though! Got that crap all over the front beds, and can't get rid of it. Pull it up 4x / year, and it grows back with a passion.

    You sick bastards. Why don't you stick to live ones?

    Dealing with a project conjoining two networks. I'm currently getting pushback on putting in an INTERNAL DNS record, and they're asking for a RISK signoff. A 2 week project in month 8 and counting.

    Half expected them to zoom out and realize she was crawling sideways and not climbing.

    They woke up from the nightmare and ran as fast as they could.

    Discount Tire doesn't throw screws, come on. They place them strategically in the shoulder of the tire tread so they can't repair it and have to replace it.

    So do we need to add a clause to our personal wills to reach out to immamac with a given safe word that would tell him to nuke our footprints on Surly? Is that a paid service that will be offered?
  22. PvilleStang
    I mean, 15 minutes on 360 4 days a week is enough for me to want to punch a puppy. Dealing with dumb ass rich soccer moms buried in their phones out driving for no damn good reason during rush hour while the rest of us are trying to get home... it's enough to raise the blood pressure 20-30 points. That said, I've got a buddy who commutes from Marble Falls to South Austin DAILY. Guy has WAY more patience than I have.

    He did look like he had a 4" grip on a 6" turd.
