Favorite Music At The Moment?
While I highly prefer Nevermind's production by Butch Vig to In Utero's by Albini I still always respected it and him. After Bleach, Vig's wetter production gave the band what it needed to not be so anti-pop. In Utero went back to Bleach's ethos and the band probably wanted it that way. I also enjoyed the little pot shots Vig and Albini took at each other in the media such as, "His drum sound is too boxy". Albini's other work proved that he wasn't just the "dry guy" In Utero might make you think.

In Columbus that means it's got to go. The '60s and '70s never happened here besides malls

It's still not enough units per roof/utility hookup/pad/yard/driveway to make real money.

Again, too much Republican influence on the economy led to too much unappealing night and weekend work and not enough good daytime jobs for entry-level workers. Remember when you could just call up a temp agency and they'd have you in an office job the next day? Most Boomers have so much money that their adult kids could live with them indefinitely as opposed to working all night and weekend in a warehouse just to afford a 1-bedroom apartment for themselves. Working those hours all they'll be able to do is play video games and arrange Magic cards. Both the kids and the Boomer parents know there's plenty of money for the kid to stay home and be able to do things like mow the grass and take Grandma to her doctor's appointments.

Parents thought a "good place to raise kids" was where they couldn't get anywhere on their own or get away. Like the Legless Dogs from Sifl & Olly

It used to be worse. Even some parts of Main didn't have them. Like across from Certified.

I remember thinking it was cool to have that when I was a kid. Never used it though.

Why would a buddy of mine have seen six BART cars on flatbed semis being towed up I-71 today?

Housing Market & Trends
One of the biggest problems with SFH rentals is the massive amount of downtime between tenants as something that wasn't designed to change occupants often the SFH often needs tons of work between occupants. Then you add even more downtime when people leave a whole house+ worth of stuff behind. Stuff the next tenant usually doesn't even want because they already have their own or they just don't like it, has wear or even smells funny. It would be nice to have an infrastructure in place to separate the stuff yourself into donatables, trash, scrap and transferables but that is expensive and time-consuming. Hiring trashout firms is very expensive and the stuff while it's there makes it hard to evaluate the condition of the property. Stuff left in the yard sinks into the ground to be discovered by kids and mowers later. People even pour toxic liquids straight into the ground. This just isn't nearly as much of a problem with multifamily. There's so much less to move with multifamily that people are more likely to actually take it with them rather than just leave it.

They used to keep everything for at least a few years, yes.

There is no money in buying then renting out SFH people. Get it in your brains. 20X of things go wrong per unit as compared to apartments. City people have no stuff. If they leave everything behind on you, you wind up with a bed, laptop and a bicycle. A SFH renter leaves three houses' worth of crap behind after being there four months.

Looks to be all Senior. Seems like a lot of Senior going up south of 270. They can pocket the money from the sale of their Dublin-Worthington-Westerville houses since they don't need to be where the action is anymore.

If the U. of Arizona doesn't have Friday classes that might mean Thursday is a big party night. That's how it was when SSU was still on quarters.

The non-coastal cities are more likely to lose their white-collar jobs and go blue-collar only as compared to the coasts.

Columbus Metro Library Branch Projects
The current Canal branch is pretty small to say the least. It's in the old high school. Which doesn't sound that bad until you realize the only space it uses is the old school library.

^People who come up to town from the south see a lot of dirty stuff since that's where our industrial stuff and quarries are. People like that have to drive through miles of that stuff to get to the clean parts. Or they work in that part of town. That's where your most hardcore city haters come from.
