I’ve been doing it for about 3 years now and I’m addicted.

What clearly has changed since 2002 is that we have become a one party state and rolled out the welcome mat for half of the nation's homeless and even larger shares of other states' drug addicts, mentally ill and child molesters. 

Regardless of views on policies, it's us small business owners and landlords that have to deal with the realities and running away is not the solution.As a Northwest native, we have a lot of issues with gentrification, big tech money, drug addiction and homelessness that affects all communities in the region, not just Seattle.

You could have inserted food, water, air, and shown an even more dramatic result. 100 percent of hard drug addicts started by eating!

Yes I'd rather not deal with drug addicts over stolen power.  2.

I've had good experience with online auctions to buy and sale.I use a reserve price when listing with an auction.Research the auction policies to become familiar with their procedures.Also, learn a good bid strategy.Due diligence on any property is also important.And, beware that bidding (and winning) can become very emotional and "addictive" similar to gambling in my opinion.

Does that mean the author is plagued by an "addiction."

What if an addict breaks into my tenant's house and steals to buy drugs?

Drug addiction could = homelessness, homelessness with addiction could cause demand for sober living homes.

One thing is for sure, these deals are addicting and I can't wait for more.Jeff
