CNN is calling this a winter storm of historic proportions.

In that thread, I had a little rant about the creeping role of the licensing into all walks of our economic lives to the detriment of our nation as a whole.Here's a link to an article in the WSJ on this very subject.http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703445904576118030935929752.htmlIt appears that the proportion of the workforce that is in "licensed" jobs has been steadily going up for several decades.

Your level of concern is directly proportional to your net worth.

You are all-in at 78% of value and your exit value is questionable as well.To fill in the pool, you will need to get a permit, have enginerring and soil compaction tests, and any other requirements the city/county demands.

Cracks in concrete are normal to some extent though usually caused by an underlying issue such as insufficient compaction of the gravel underneath or improper drainage causing excess water to get under the slab and undermine it.

That's how most commercial NNN leases in multi-tenant buildings are (if not separately metered).Find out the average you paid, tell them the rent will be reduced by that, but the gas bill will be split proportionally based on square footage of the units.

The wages and the rents do not rise in the same proportion as inflation.

I think this whole thing is way out of proportion.

Nope...Again, I am suggesting that this is very blatant evidence that the buyer's agent provides NO VALUE to the buyer anymore or that the large proportion of the value they once provided no longer exists.

The proportion of people involved in agriculture has steadily declined from 41% of the population in 1900 to 1.9% in 2000.
