My neighbor abandoned his house

Recommended Posts

The neighbor across the street apparently has abandoned his house. I havent seen anyone there in a couple months. The lights and water is shut off. I guess he walked away from it, and took only the items he felt he needed. However he left a bunch of cool stuff from what I can tell. The busy-body neighbors around him actually somehow "got" into his house and said there is a ton of tools, a grill, and other misc items of value in there.

Some of those people were talking about taking the stuff....However me thinks that is illegal!

I hate to say, but I am kind of glad this family is gone. The wife left this dude, who then lost his job due to alcohol. The shame in it is that the wife didnt take his 3 teenage kids with him. So he would leave town for a week at a time and the house had no adult supervision. There were knuckleheads always coming and going from that house, and they would cause some trouble.

Ive seen horror movies start out that way. All of a sudden you're locked in the basement with something not pleasant :D

I have also seen porno movies start out that way. All of a sudden you are on an abandoned mattress with something quite pleasant.

    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
