Austin became the "IT" destination during the pandemic. People in Tech in California and New York were told they could work from anywhere. They didn't have to buy a million dollar condo in NY or California. They could buy a home on 1/2 an acre for $500K so many did. All that influx drove up prices and, like before the Great Recession, everyone assumed prices would keep going up.Those buyer found out their employers want them back in the office. The Austin real estate boom they started, is turning into a bust. Home builders rushed in assuming that demand would be high so they flooded in with plans for new construction. No doubt, we'll see ripples of this across the country.

So I just want to point out a few things about San Antonio: 1. This is a military heavy city. There are 3+ bases. 1/10 homebuyers in SATX are military therefore a lot of people using VA loans with 0 down. 2. Melody said it herself but during recessions the job market tends to favor public sector over private sector jobs. This is why some people in Texas refer to San Antonio as “recession proof” city 3. New construction and apartments are VERY stressed. I personally know someone who is closing on a new construction with a 4.25% interest rate (bought down by builder). Apartments are only requiring $250 security deposit for rent that is $1200+. Some are even saying if you pay rent ON TIME for 3 months, they’ll give you one month for free. Overall the signs are here that a recession is coming. But how long it will last is yet to be seen.

We're told the national debt is increasing by one trillion dollars every 100 days or so. Currently the interest alone on the existing federal national debt is over one trillion dollars a year which is a huge portion of revenue and with a 'balloon' payment interest reset coming soon that debt interest payment will skyrocket even more thus eating into existing big programs. We're also hearing the end of the dollar as the global reserve currency is likely very near and that would itself trigger very painful hyperinflation. Too bad we have never had very honest MSM reporting and now it's getting to be worse in terms of hiding important facts.

He got out of the car he was driving and ran. The cops working the accident said there wasn't much they could do and to file it to uninsured motorist. This is why rates are skyrocketing.

But now with that type of culture all over this country rates are increasing with just a few pocket areas of exceptions. However nothing changed with my area of living currently BUT i was able to get a substantially much cheaper but same coverage car insurance. So everyone should price shop instead of just continuing to accept. I have lots of experience with Houston and the demographics since 1956.

Indeed. This is the 1929-42 pattern, but with a reverse/bad war spending effect this time: It has been the precursor crash, brief boom due to policies help, then downward longterm spiral- followed by mass govt spending on mil. Missing is the infrastructure jobs works to benefit the nation and workers en masse and continuing, and currently the *internal* mil spending at the source and resource mfg stage. And the govt CAN'T spend on these in the mfg and real jobs level as that has been gutted domestically for too long. Meanwhile inflation is still drastically accelerating and fuel costs climbing without internal resource ramping, exactly like in the 1970s stagflation cycle... The outcome of this major depression and inflation cycle is highly likely to be a worst case scenario for normal working class and in debt older people, or those living where they cannot regulate base costs like prop taxes if not in debt. I am becoming far more worried about economic conditions impacting everyone than I was in 2019, and that doom finance situation has only been pushed forwards and magnified irl since. 😶

FYI: The SA Food Bank is less than 1/2 a mile North and directly inline with the Kelly Field Annex runway. That’s why you can’t fly drones.

I've never been to SA but was just curious how it was. Thanks for the reporting. Wish LA had more homes for sale but we've built everything

Big picture #3: I have been to San Antonio recently and yes, empty downtown. as one LOCAL said : "the same was Baustin 10 years ago and look now". In other words, the craziness of million of people moving downtown is just part of a trend - Or fanaticism like in the case of Baustin

people went crazy and started buying houses for double the price and 7%+ interest....of course now they are trying to sell. People with sense don't want to buy a home for $250,000 - $400,000 When those same houses 4 years ago were going for 150,000- 250,000.

No sales …… I’m local and no price reductions . Still too expensive for local ?

There are folks from other states moving to San Antonio and building. My partner & I are one of those. Our house will be completed in a couple of months. Ask around. Many from Austin and California other states moving to S.A. There are also a number of projects such as new Hospitals being built Microsoft Data Centers, many opening small businesses, also many working for DOD, Air Force too, etc.

The San Antonio Food Bank is directly in line with Kelly Field (SKF). 1.3 miles from the end of the runway. SKF is a very busy military area. Lot of C5’s and T-38s constantly training. Please be aware of your location before flying drones.

Well I'm familiar with the food bank area..its in the landing zone of lackland AFB..but it's not like you're that far above the ground for the drone. 👍

I'm in the suburbs just outside of san antonio. There are so many houses in my neighborhood that are just not selling, but they are older homes and we're on the lower end of prices. But lots of people buying newer bigger homes in these new neighborhoods over in the Schertz and Cibolo area. My best friend just bought a brand new home and so did her sister.
