    I suspect Oppo is slow due to Holidays+Handegg, so those of you remain will now suffer... Time for a house post!

      I totally didn't work in these three units and there's definitely nothing here that I provided, I just uhhh happened to come across these units by pure accident.

      Here are the three separate listings, many photos are repeated:

              I don't mind the look so much, for a mcmodern cloned dronehive it at least has kind of a 70s look, but that's 3 overpriced residences in one, hard pass.

                  @fintail She's one of my favorite clients (you probably recognize her work from many other of my posts throughout the years) so I say: crank that shit out. Not only do I benefit, but it works doubly as a Fintail Summoning.

                            @dr-zoidberg All of this stuff looks the same to me. I got into the wrong line of work, should have became an architect building trendy cliched housing for Seattle techdorks.

                            Meanwhile on the east side, for the same money:

                              @fintail Pretty upset that I feel that I'll be forced to move away one day. We're daydreaming of Spokane, or Montana... Would prefer to grab a square of land in Coupeville, but I can't even afford the land today, and it's only going to get worse. As my brother (who owns a mansion for zero dollars in Mississippi) once said: "They're not making any more land!"

                                @cb I remember when my wife and I finally rented our first house -- which was a total dump -- one week in a turned to her and said, "I will never live in an apartment ever again." I apply this townhomes and condos. They make sense -- just not for me.

                                  @dr-zoidberg These look pretty nice to me (not sold on the concrete (or whatever that is) floor in the bedroom. Though I'll admit that if I had a town house, I'd want a solid slab between units plus some high grade sound and fireproofing, while I suspect most modern units instead go with the bare minimum required by code.

                                  Edit: Also one of my parents' dogs who I've taken care of from time to time would never get used to those open stairs. Had some in my apartment and he was terrified of them every time.

                                    @dr-zoidberg I'm in that boat. I didn't really hesitate when offered the position here. I'm a little removed from some family now, but the more mellow pace here compensates, and I actually like the weather here too. I suspect there will be at least a slight exodus, especially for WFH types. And as so many still love it in the Seattle metro, I don't think any out-migration will slow the market there either. Many never want to leave, and transplants seem to love it.

                                    There's a vacant lot on my street for like 60K, not huge, but it is tempting. I'm not on a street with vintage tudor revivals or mansions, but it isn't bad either.

                                      @fintail My cubicle neighbor recently asserted that that Spokane is comparable to Everett, and he did not mean that as a compliment. Me, having lived in Everett for the past decade, thought to myself, "Tell me more of this 'Spokane.' "

                                        The property description may be the most hideous things about those places.

                                          @dr-zoidberg I've thought of it more to Tacoma, but in terms of demographics, maybe more like Everett - not terribly diverse here. Some parts of town aren't the prettiest, and some are comparable with the nicest parts of Seattle. There's even some mcmodern infill or new construction housing here and there. Personally, I'd prefer to be in the city proper, South Hill specifically (which is where I am). Once outside of the city or valley, it can get a little batshit.

                                          Plenty of dining and hipster pub kind of stuff too, along with ample outdoors activities - really, I think the place gets a bad rap. It's now at least "up and coming", too. Get a few big living wage employers here and it'd go crazy.

                                            I'm looking to move from San Diego to somewhere east of Seattle. My 3bed/2ba 1800 sq ft house with a garage and space to park 7 cars outside (driveway, carport, RV parking) will likely fetch $1m, a %60 increase from my purchase price 5 years ago.

                                            So, I see those places and I'm like damn, they're well priced...

                                            Also, I watch handegg football while perusing Oppo all the time.

                                                    Holy shit have prices got insane here. My crapbox 1200sqft house is way overpriced. I bought it in the last crash luckily but now I am afraid of selling because I may not be able to buy back into the area. I thought of getting property in the Spokane area but i've watched those prices jump up due to the taint of Seattle.
