Hey BP folks! I've been planning a move to the USA and have been laser focused on Tampa, FL, and am seeing overinflated RE prices there. Houses that were selling for $80,000 5-8 years ago are now selling for $350,000 ...

It's going to happen. One day, maybe in our life time maybe in our kid's life time. Elon Musk wants to terraform the red planet back to green and blue. Let's say it works and we can now travel to our neighboring plane...
