The energy play from DJT won't just be a source of war-reckoning in Russia and even Israel, it'll be the biggest game changer in the arms race of AI and how to support it.

The 2 biggest down sides in Southern CA is 1) in Single family zoned areas ADU additions add a value far less than the cost of the ADU addition.  

I am located in southern New Jersey (Glassboro).

I like these amongst ,many other right nowREXR - (Rexford) they are a niche (sub-specialist) in industrial warehouse/distribution/manufacturing in the southern California only urban or Infil area, they are not international like PLD - prologis, their MOAT is that SO-Cal has geographic limitation to new inventory, so they have rent pricing power that industrial in rest of country doesn't, also 26 million people in so-Cal and the 2 busiest Ports in country, their earning/revenue projections next few years are best in class, and they are cheaper on price to book than PLD or others, I own some and will buy a lot more in upcoming Recession, likely in next 6-12 months, when publicly traded equities will likely slide by 20-30% although their assets (physical buildings) are only going up in valueVICI- (casino REIT), used to be part of Cesars palace, then Caesars spun them out in 2018, to do sale leasebacks of their properties to take all that physical capex off the books.

If not, would love to start one up, as so much is happening in southern utah.
