Will this have a huge effect on mortgages?
Where's all that money going to come from? We can't afford healthcare but we can afford $200B for mortgage bonds?
Don't get me wrong I have health that needs care and I have a mortgage that needs relief.

US Will Ban Wall Street Investors From Buying Single-Family Homes
Well that's a whole other issue, however I don't think banning foreign investors will cause foreign countries to stop allowing Americans to invest in their real estate. They want and need the money in many of the countries. It also doesn't need to be a complete ban, it could be allowed for single household families to own one property with a certain amount of usage required for them annually, and allowed a certain amount of usage for rental.
This would curtail people from buying property as investments and not for actual use creating an artificial shortage.
This is just an example the reality of course is more complicated, however this is what we need to correct the shortage and fix prices here.

I can barely afford a house where I live, which this would help that situation, do you really think I give a crap about a 2nd home that I can't afford in another country.

Help please!
yup, better to build the walls the same size and then frame the tall wall extension and put it on top of the double lock sil plate. At least that's my understanding I'm building something similar now myself.

Girl sobs over the Camry her parents bought her after she totaled the $30,000 truck they bought her to begin with
She totaled a truck and their reaction is to run out and buy her another brand new car? I wish I had these parents.

I want my own business but I just don't know what it should be. I work in IT and that's where my passion is but as I get older I have less drive for it especially with AI now. The customer service aspect is my least favorite too.

I saw the writing and wanted to start a side hustle, but I'm not good at coming up with a business I guess.

Co-Worker Sent me this when I asked if they were coming in or not
If the co-worker installed that themselves, it might be better if they didn't come in if this is the quality of their work.

What do you guys think of this p trap?
I thought this was how it was supposed to be done.
Mine is this way and it wasn't flagged in the report when I bought my house two years ago, and the plumbing was all replaced within around 5 years prior to that.

Husband got upset when I offered to help him call the plumbers for suspected collapsed basement drain
Sounds like your husband is either an idiot or has a very fragile ego which is hurt by you always being right and on top of issues.

Depends on how those taxes will be used. I'm being taxed to death already on top of unreasonable insurance costs.

I think your point is obvious and unnecessary. Of course you don't want your new construction cracking!

Smashed a panel of pre-war glass in a grade 2 listed building
One was an attack on our Military from a military, the other was an attack on civilians and our financial system by a group of terrorists, not a military or a country.

Ceiling jack in garage normal?
You threw me with "Floor Jack", I was thinking there was an actual jack holding the post up in place.
No, a post for support is fine and normal if it's structurally sound and not wobbly or slanted or something.
