Music and lyrics written and performed by Remy.
LYRICS:
You save a piece of each paycheck
To buy a house in your town
With a short white picket fence
You've got the right down payment
You're pre-approved as planned
So you can buy my house
From my cold dead hands
30 years fixed at 2.5
My name will be on this deed until the day that I die
Interest rates were kept artificially low
You think I'm ever selling? That must be some kind of joke
Zero inventory within five miles of church?
Zoom out to North America and click "redo search"
Like Amber Heard on a bed, I'm squatting right here
I hear the rental market's great around this time of year
So go and build your own house on that vacant land
Here, you can take this shovel
From my cold dead hands
More cars on the road, less sun in the sky
I will oppose all new construction till the day that I die
My property value might be slightly harmed
It would change the area's character-when you built here, this was all farms
Senior homes and row houses, I'm blocking them all
And God help the man I witness playing pickleball
Congressman! Congressman! I just want a house
But building here's illegal? Yeah, how's that allowed?
We could use a voice like yours, keep our House in your plans
You could take my seat. Really?
From my cold dead hands
Zero term limits, and industry vies
I will be the incumbent until my brain finally dies
And then a couple years more, it is what it is
I almost lost one time, so we drew the district like this
My cold hands
My cold dead hands

And of course, it turns out to be one with a Democrat incumbent, in the middle of a mostly red state. And he did almost lose once, right before it was redrawn. I know the Republicans have done gerrymandering as well, but they're usually not that bad.

@thugpug4392 2 месяца назад

@@dsproductions19The thing with gerrymandering in the U.S. is it's normally drawn in a bipartisan committee and tends to favor undisturbed wins for a dominant party. In this scenario, yes it is a very suspiciously drawn district in a red state which heavily favors Democrats. However, consider that Texas voters are nearly 50% Democrat but you, and everyone else, recognizes it as a solid red state. The representatives of Texas are more Republican than the population. This is because of gerrymandering. It's unavoidable that there will be blue districts around the major cities but the districts also all need to represent the same population. If you find a way to creatively cram the democratic votes into a few superblue districts you keep them from potentially flipping other ones and can continue to push for policies to try and keep the state red. If Texas only had two equal population districts divided by one line of any shape or length it'd be impossibile to keep them both red.

@neocortex8198 9 месяцев назад

@@xX_Pokeman_Xx i have a plan that involves 6 separate zones farms and farmstands suburbia; land that is either within a block of farmlands or cannot support a large structure urban; land not next to farmland, land that can support itu heavy industry (food/chemical would be separate) essentially the idea would be to essentially ban suburbs from being able to oppose new quadplex, duplex, etc or stores being built in neighborhoods and even bring criminal charges down on any attempt to stifle this. Im done negotiating when it comes to more housing/stores .. chemical plants, meat packing plants, landfills, these are generally outliers

@xX_Pokeman_Xx 9 месяцев назад

@@neocortex8198 There's then the concern that stores tend to also draw crime to that location. By concentrating the storefronts, you tend to draw crime away from the houses. If you scatter it among the houses, you also tend to spread crime into those neighborhoods. Same issue with duplexes. That's why people oppose such actions I *do* like your plan and idealism, but I wouldn't try to force it through. There are genuine concerns that need to be addressed first before it's possible, and that's not even beginning with the permits that make it impossible to actually build anything.

@andrewbomber5364 Год назад

@@cybersmith_videos His interest is likely locked in for 30 years. We likely won't see interest near that in a long time so buying another house with financing as most need to is going to be much more expensive at much higher interest rates. It isn't illeagal to charge any rate but the market is not there.

@FozzyBBear Год назад

@@cybersmith_videos Interest rates were increased by the government to combat the inflation caused by the government. A $300,000 mortgage at 2.5% has a $1,200 monthly payment. At 7.2% the monthly payment is nearly $1,900. The buyer will have to pay today's higher rate no matter what, but the seller has a choice.

@Drew.G-D Год назад

@@cybersmith_videosits more complicated than this... but basically the Federal Reserve uses monitary policy to influence interest rates. As an example, they may offer to borrow money from banks at 2.75% and lend to them at 2.25%. This means that the bank will never lend money to you at a rate below 2.25%. The middle of these two numbers is called the "Bank Rate" or "Fed Funds Rate" and would be 2.5% in this case. Currently, the rate is 5.25%. So there is nooo way a bank would lend to you at 2.5%. The reason that causes people to not want to sell their homes is because the would lose money to the bank on the deal. Most homeowners still have a mortgage, so they would have to borrow again if they moved. They might be forced to borrow at 6-7% which would cost them a lot more on a large mortgage. Hope that answers your questions!

Only a good FA will be enough to guide you through the current market volatility. I've been speaking with an advisor for a while now, primarily because I don't have the necessary expertise or stamina to handle these recurrent market conditions. The fact that I made over $220K during this downturn proved that there is more to the market than the typical person is aware of.
