'Get a Piece a dat REI Pie' Pattern Phenomenon: Rash Expectations?
2 May 2015 | 4 replies
the 2nd association it resonates is the highly consumption-driven society we live in. in my area (coastal, urban southern california) i'm surrounded by 2 distinct lifestyles. there's the majority: seems like 95% of the local population who are renters, driving luxury cars, sporting fancy clothes, jewelry, hairdos, etc but obviously living paycheck to paycheck as exemplified by hardly a day somebody or the other is spotted getting their car repo'ed by a camera crew. the rarer are the landlords, who in this area seem to be of mostly asian demographics (chinese, koreans, japanese) who live obviously very frugally: old 80s model sedan, oldfashion business cloths, always eating simple meal from home, seemingly never splurging $$$ other than into expanding their portfolio), my observance is relatively very few landlords in the area own relatively huge portfolios, each.with the advent of these infomercials and the internet (ie, BP) more and more people want to get a 'piece of the REI pie' and more power to them. there does seem to be this dream of rags to riches and while its ok to dream, do most people actually expect their life to turn around like that, as portrayed in most of the infomercials or even in the everyday setting where the masses living paycheck to paycheck, are spending their last expendable dollars not on depositing into savings acount, but blowing $20 on scratchies etc. in summary, is my observation reminds me of my days when i worked on wall st and the 'ra trace' was so obvious with dime a dozen stock brokers makin 6fig salaries at some point but blowing it on recreational drugs apparently costing thousands of dollars a pop to the point the next week they are broke again and that $ wasnt invested but wasted.

It looked like they had a very efficient setup, combination erector set / ikea.Most/all of the core connections for power, water, waste, etc routed through a floor/ceiling section with all the walls and other fixtures loaded on top so they could transport two full sections per truckload.Another interesting factoid sheet:http://www.constructionglobal.com/majorprojects/79...

Great comments, I apologize in advance but this definitely struck a chord with me.. so here it goes....We see so many "Investors" come to us after they have smacked on the hornets nest and have violated laws and peoples rights and the wall is about to crumble on top of them.
