Crazy chicken lady
I just listen to an NPR podcast from Wednesday that was talking about how there is a small housing boom where these city folk working from home are realizing they can pay less for more space and work from home from good so they are moving out of the citiesYes, out my way, 2.5 hrs south of Seattle lots of unrest as we are already handling a lot of homeless and now we are worried about a new influx and where to put them and how to get them connected to services, etc.
However on the other side of things, our housing market is hopping. My home went up 50,000 since march in valuation. My neighbors purchased their house three years ago for 272,000 and just sold it for 462,000 two weeks ago. It is crazy.
My husband works in construction and rentals for residential, commercial and light industrial. His company is dealing with the fallout from the disaster at Boeing. All the third party machinists are out of work and can no longer pay rent on their spaces.
Also, their apartments are starting to see some vacancies (no forced evictions yet, and they would like to avoid that if at all possible) which is a big deal because these apts used to have long waiting lists to get one.
As far as evictions however, this is WA and we do tend to do things a little differently then the Feds. I would be surprised if our govenor allowed the eviction moratorium lapse.
