Not only will the โ€œgentrificationโ€ end, the slummification will accelerate.

Article:The Kinneys paid off their house but took out a new mortgage to pay defense lawyers after a family member was arrested in 2002, the Red House on the Mississippi group has said.

Yes, most articles you have to read all the way to the end before this little detail is revealed.

Red House lyrics....

Great to see that song referenced by you today.

Jimi Hendrix was a sincere admirer of the blues pioneers. He was always respectful of the traditional blues performers who went before his era, making a few dollars and being largely overlooked. One of my probably twenty books about him shows him holding Chicago The Blues Today, a low selling three volume vinyl series on Vanguard that had recordings of the Chicago blues emigres who left the South to go electric. I remember records like that from my youth.

So, does everyone in Portland afforded the same treatment?
Who will continue to pay rent, or mortgage?

Either that or a family black sheep came over the Bering Land Bridge 10,000 years ago and never intermarried.

I Love the Blues!

My first band was a Blues Band, but it was during the Disco Era, and was quite a struggle.

Thank you for your kind words.

I even had two six month layoffs, one of which included a 600 mile move to a new job and having to maintain the house and an apartment for 6 months.

At one point I called the mortgage company to ask if they had any programs for unemployed customers who were still paying their bills. Absolutely nothing.

Iโ€™m a sucker for making every mortgage payment, never missing or being late.

Ditto.

When the dems "forgive" all of the student loans I am going to feel like a real rube for making my kids go to affordable universities and work their way through college so they could graduate debt free.

“Protesters started to camp out around the house, expressing outrage against gentrification and the eviction of the family.”

Gentrification - the cleaning up of the hood.

Yup. I got sick of seeing the log in page at usaa proclaiming the would pony up $50 million over the next three years to help right the wrongs. Or something. What cheapskates. Heard a radio ad stating BOA would be contributing a billion to help find adequate affordable housing. ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ’„๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ’ฉ๐Ÿ˜ฏ๐Ÿ˜’

“THAT’S worth $260,000?!”

We bought a 2 acre wooded lot next to my wifes business for 22k back in 1998. Two lane road out front. Rural area

Since then via housing developments the road out front is now 6 lanes and the state just put in a major 4 way intersection right next to the 2 acre lot.

We was offered last year 500k to sell it. We are holding off because the area contines to expand and now with white flite to our area it will grow even more.

What is funny is the guy we bought it from inherited it from his uncle and he wanted the money to buy a new motorcyle.

Best investment decision we have had.

We feel like suckers for having paid off $20,000 in federal student loans a few years ago.

Canโ€™t make payments? No problem. Weโ€™ll just give you the house.

You left out the most important part, as long as you are the right color or member of the right groups.............NO CONSERVATIVE WHITES ALLOWED! White communist will receive a small consideration.

If I was the mayor of Portland (but I would have a better chance of landing on Mars, then elected mayor of Portland), I’d tell the police to arrest all of those protesters and tell the developers to tear that shack down...
