The state of OH took 90% of the back yard of the house across the street (nearest the highway) for widening - they have since put up a giant ugly metal barrier right in their backyard.

If it is some kind of big deal like it is an old metal barn eyesore on a downtown city block undergoing revitalization and you're going to build a $10mil apartment building on it, if you can get the land...hey hey maybe the powers that be might negotiate something with you, with perhaps a promise you won't fight value for 10 years or something like that. 

We are long tangible assets: RE, Metals, Commodities. 

Not just RE, but paper securities/equities, precious metals, BTC, etc all at all-time highs.I'm just glad money market mutual funds are paying me 5% while my equity positions hit their targets and hope your prediction of the 10 yr at 5.5% happens. 

The industry found better ways to make pop cans aluminum versus metal, recycling became more common and 35 years later, you don't hear about this anymore.

That's kind of what I was thinking, but I wonder what they'd want for a "walkway" non skid coating would be easy but if they want all railings to code all Along the whole roof then I'll probably be better off doing metal fire escapes on the side windows.  

Pretty much all major components were newly installed / fitted and done to a tasteful standard (new metal roof, plumbing, electrical, kitchen, flooring, bathroom, doors, new hvac, decks, vinyl siding etc) and I have visited and walked through 3 times and even been under crawl space to inspect a repair that was previously noted on an inspection to the foundation after termite treatment which looked to be a good job.

They claimed the compressor was overworking, used an outdated refrigerant that’s no longer available, the indoor coil had a cracked pan, and the system was beyond repair.

My tenant moved out a couple of days ago, and when I walked through the unit, I discovered that he had removed the curtain and curtain rod, detached the room air conditioner, and caused significant scratches on the hardwood floor from the metal bed frame legs.

Evaporator coils can also become clogged over a long period, also reducing air flow and adversely affecting the system.
