1/24    Fight eminent domain?  Seize a judge's house

        \_ Yeah, threatening judges with retribution based on their decisions,
           no matter what form it takes, seems like an excellent long term
           plan to guarantee the impartiality of the judiciary.

8/1     Suppose your house is already paid off and you retire at 65.
        How much expense does one expect to spend a year, in the Bay
        Area? Property tax will be about $10K/year for a modest $850K
        home. What about other stuff?
        \_ I think at age 65, health insurance is the next biggest expense.
        \_ I am thinking that we can have a nice middle class

7[31    Suppose you have a few hundred thousand dollars in the bank earning
        minimum interest rate and you're not sure whether you're going to
        buy a house in 1-5 years. Should one put that money in a more
        risky place like Vanguard ETFs and index funds, given that the
        horizon is only 1-5 years?
        \_ I have a very similar problem, in that I have a bunch of cash

2/19    I just realized that my real estate broker has a PhD in plant
        molecular cell biology from an Ivy League school in the mid 70s.
        Now she has to deal with a bunch of young dot-comers, and they're
        pain in the ass.                        -Only a BS in EEC$
        \_ My agent used to be a hardware engineer.  He switched to real estate
           when he got laid off during the 80's.  Now he's doing very well.

Printable version Campaign to seize US judge's home Logan Clements canvasses for signatures in Weare Logan Clements canvassed for signatures in Weare Activists angered by a US Supreme Court ruling that homes can be demolished for public developments are trying to seize the home of one of the judges involved. About 60 people rallied in the small New Hampshire town of Weare on Sunday, where Justice David Souter has a house. The protesters say they have enough signatures from Weare residents to put their proposal to a town vote in March. They want a compulsory purchase order on the 200-year-old farmhouse, and say they will build a hotel in its place. I don't want my house to be taken away to be the next Disneyland Campaign supporter Eric Dellinger Judge Souter was in a 5-4 majority on the court panel that ruled last June that the city of New London in Connecticut could seize homes to make way for a hotel, convention centre, office space and flats. The ruling gave government the right to seize homes for "public benefit", where previously they could only be taken for "public use". Many fear the ruling means land can now be requisitioned for commercial ventures that benefit the local economy, not just public projects like road building. The Supreme Court ruling has prompted many states, including New Hampshire, to consider tightening their laws on "eminent domain", or compulsory purchase. Logan Clements outside the New Hampshire home of US Supreme Court Justice David Souter Mr Clements wants to turn Mr Souter's home into a hotel He says he already has 188 names. "I'm not sure that going after a justice is really the right way to do it," he told the Los Angeles Times. I don't want my house to be taken away to be the next Disneyland no matter how much good it would be for other people." There was no comment on the petition from Justice Souter.
