Riots? What riots? Some politicians say there are no riots.......only peaceful demonstrations?

"PLEASE" try NOT to make this a POLITICAL conversation.

Was thing of selling my little slice of heaven. Get 40-80 acres, and build a very large pole barn. Have it assessed as a pole barn and then finish part of it into a house. But I will be 70 in a few weeks so hardly worth the aggravation. Prices in some areas here are up 25% and places sell fast.

Sales are up here also... we've seen people moving up since last winter to escape the Covid. At first it was people who already had summer homes on the lakes, now real estate is selling like hot cakes.
I have a little 2 acre house lot which I bought 6 months ago for an investment... hopefully the prices won't drop before it's ready to sell next year.

IMHO prices will stay steady or go up.Interest rates are crazy low another reason I believe prices will stay steady.

Went to Zillow & looked at a few houses on Lake Superior(munising) & Lake Huron(Tawas) that seemed reasonable priced.

I need them to stay in the cities. I left the city 25 years ago, but not for any of those reasons. I've adapted mostly to rural, but a lot of escapees won't. They'll want to bring the city with them, and all of the issues. They'll want city services and no cows or goats to make funny smells.

Those type of things will not happen around my neck of the woods . . . you can only divide your property into no less than 5 acres . . .

That is when you need to start paying attention to anyone trying to rezone property in your area. My semi-rural area has a minimum of 1/2 acre per lot even though many parcels are much larger. A rich, politically connected person, tried to rezone a 112 acre plot to 1/5 acre lots. I formed a civic association to fight the rezoning and luckily got enough neighbors to join that we were able to pitch in, hire a lawyer, go to meetings in mass, and defeat the re-zoning. He tried again a few years later and we fought it and won again but we know the future holds many more fights for us.

There are two sides to every coin. I've got a condo in downtown Chicago I'm trying to get rid of and, for some reason, there's not much interest. :confused3:

My son has the same problem with his condo in the Windy City.
