My kids are teenagers and they’ve seen it many times. Just because you’ve never seen it doesn’t mean others your age or younger haven’t.

For this reason is why I think the military in the Morden day is over paid bs for potentially life trauma

Sad that it took so long for this. This should have always been a thing since it's inception.

Did they remove the no trespassing sign?

That lady is the victim.
Fans were tossing pizzas and leaving trash all over the yard on a daily basis. People who expect these owners to just bend over backwards and allow strangers to trash their property are the inconsiderate ones.

Same thoughts as well, but reading another article it said he put down 20% and pulled out equity from a couple of other properties he owns, so altogether he had to pull out three different loans.

if they only attracted millennials for 50 years it would still have plenty of business opportunities.
We’re the biggest generation in American history, plenty of chances to make a buck or two off them.
Plus at end of day it’s still a home which you can use to live in. Sounds like buyer is a massive fan so he probably enjoys owning it whether or not he continues to get visitors.

$5 says they didn't have that many companies trying to get financing from them anyway compared to others. At the very least, that means more business for other banks at the end of the day. Money talks.

article said they had 1500 visitors a day. I’d tell them to fuck off too

On the surface this sounds very good, but well.

Those who do remember it are the ones with enough money now in life to buy it. So in another few years that's who could potentially buy it.
It's a niche product.

They bill the VA directly. There is a new billing system for it.

This is big news, however I think I'll continue to steer clear of my local VA. Last year I contacted the crisis hotline and was referred to my local VA. The VA called me and left a voicemail that was barely coherent. Upon calling back, the lady who answered was more interested in letting me know that the name I could barely make out was incorrect and no one worked there by that name. Finally got transferred to someone in mental health only for them to tell me I'm not in their system and I'd have to apply through a packet they'd mail me. I'm still here but I wonder how many aren't because of the VA.

Well it is still a very large house, real estate is solid to invest in regardless

It is worth noting that the COMPACT Bill that pushed this through specifies that vets must use a "private residential facility other than a hospital" for suicide crisis care. So showing up to the ER will NOT be covered. Just FYI.

They could be getting so much free pizza down off the roof.

I worked with a VA outpatient clinic at a previous job. This sounds exactly right to me. They actually receive funding based off number of vets, not amount of care, so they’ll do whatever they can to help you sign up. They’re usually a small doctors office and maybe some therapist offices, but at least that gets you in the door in your area.
But bigger stuff that you need to get into the main hospital, I believe that’s where there is still a major backlog of patients. Covid didn’t help I know that.

Ding ding ding. I promise if an absolute no where town like Rockford can remain relevant all these years purely because Cheap Trick came from there, I can guarentee Astoria hasn't been forgotten.

La marihuana va en el cajón de arriba. La cocaína y la velocidad van en el segundo cajón. Y la heroína va en el cajón de abajo.

No shit. This was my first thought. You've gotta be well off to buy a house for more than it would be worth at face value just because you love a movie and wanna have it.

Many places in the US it is illegal to collect rain water.
