My father expressed deep concern about our future and the wisdom of putting our retirement dollars at risk.

As for myself, I think the most controversial opinion I have expressed is my distaste for "subject-to" investment.   

Recently the tenants in my Louisiana property expressed interest in purchasing the property we wanted to sell.

My RE agent of almost 15 years said that he receives many new clients from the Seattle area who are pivoting their investments away from Seattle into Idaho due to the growing concerns such as you've expressed. 

Also tagging a few responders that expressed similar concerns: @Raul Carrillo @Marlen WeberIn 2018 I moved from San Diego to DC, so I have an idea of the challenge you're facing. 

Just yesterday I met some of the happiest people at least from their expressions.

A good leather collar usually translates to the owner spending more on the pet, quality care, a rhinestone collar for Fefe is another expression of the owner.

Notice when they express frustration in their face if they aren’t a complainer.

@Anthony Newbold I completly understand the emotions you are feeling and expressing in this matter, we all feel the same outrage and theft of rights, BUT you must understand one crime does not correct nor is it justified by anothers previous crime, BOTH are still criminal events and punishable as such.

Without more facts it's hard to assess what really happened in this particular instance, but just casual observation on this website and other online resources suggests that there's a massive stream of "inexperienced money" (what stock guys call "stupid money," which is the wrong expression because the people who own it are invariably well-educated otherwise)  flowing from the coasts to formerly great midwestern cities that have had a hard time adjusting to post-industrial realities.
