US-specific news, no politics

Rules:

  1. No politics. Nothing about governments, parties, or politicians. I love politics but this is not a politics community, there are plenty of those. [email protected] is recommended.
  2. Reliable sources only.
  3. Articles are good. Self-posts or blog posts by professionals or journalists are fine. Memes or random blogs, no.
  4. Post title must match the headline. Edits for clarity are fine.
  5. Don't be a jerk.
  6. No racism, no bigotry, no spam.
  7. Be productive.

Before we start this convo, I need to know median house price

[–] Botzo 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Average is over 1.8M for one of the places mentioned. https://www.zillow.com/home-values/54053/rancho-palos-verdes-ca/

Didn't see median.

This was supposed to be satire but apparently there are enough mentally challenged folk to sustain house prices until the moment they are washed away.

Don't worry! Trump offered 9mo severance to federal employees! Yeah doesn't make sense to me these are actual priorities to him when towns are sliding into the ocean, people sleeping under bridges, and the fact a 40hr work week doesn't pay for a car and rent for a large portion of the population while both are required due to poor transit systems and long distances... Don't worry, doge is gonna solve all ur problems with guvment oberhaul

If you think that you're actually getting 9 months of pay if you take that resignation offer, you are an idiot who's going to deserve what you get.

I want to know what happens when the neighbor's house slides into your property line. Does everybody move up one house?

TL;DR It’s complicated, but my interpretation of all of that is that the default is that what land is “yours” does in fact change when there’s slow movement of the land, but you can also fight it in court and have property lines redrawn to be roughly the same relative to the buildings when all of the buildings have moved.
