Really I lived in LA county for almost 20 years the traffic here is a joke.

Same here..laughing all the way from Texas!

this guy has nevere been anywhere to compare to columbus

I agree with you

Great perspective! Thank you for the comments. I agree I wish our public transportation was more modern and effective

How is it I'm thinking about it myself

To each their own. I cant see why anyone would want to have to spend 20 extra minutes fighting traffic to get to a place that already was taking 20 minutes to get to before when it should have taken 7 minutes to get to to begin with? Not for the sake of arguing, just a differing pov. Take care my fellow neighbor, maybe ill see you around.

@@vickzfofo7437 I get what you are saying. More people more traffic. I'm trying to say i wish we didn't need a car to get around the city therefore there would be less traffic because folks are walking, biking, and taking transit. Less car dependency Come to Clutch Handheld Breakfast and say hello

It’s pretty bad out there :) Thanks for the comment!

@@LivinginColumbusOhio614, you are welcome. Have a great week and good luck in your real estate career.

@@brianheffernan8982 thank you!

CBus natives are not the problem. It's all the people moving here from cities who didn't have to drive or who lived in fair weather cities.

Drivers and driving here is not bad compared to most cities. I'd like know where the author got is data of it being in the top ten in the nation.

You are welcome!

Thank you!!

I’m actually currently working on the sound transit light rail in WA, that would definitely be a plus for anyone in the trades over there in the 3 C’s. I’m looking to relocate to Ohio in the next year or two.

Heres proof Ohio has flying sleep paralysis demons in the sky! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/eqp8h7eqqreclqM.html

Paul, shoot me a text and let’s help you make the move!

@@LivinginColumbusOhio614 haha thx but I’ve never been there, just in the utube reconnaissance phase n maybe a trip in 2023

Yeah it's crazy. Finally saved up money for (what I thought was) a worthwhile down payment on a house at the start of 2020. Only to find houses were selling for almost double what they sold for a year or 2 prior, then the interest rates doubled/tripled and supposedly "folks" were offering 30 to 40k or more over asking price. If you were to offer 10k over asking a realtor would tell you to offer more if you want to be taken seriously! Houses were going for 120 to 160k in my moderate crime neighborhood where ALL of the grocery stores, decent shopping stores and restaurants have been shut down and moved north to what use to be the high class Polaris area. Now they are asking 250 to 350k just because they can. Sad part is, even that once "high class" Polaris area is rapidly becoming run down and trashy. The housing prices have gone the wrong way if you ask me, atleast in my area. If this is what Intel is bring to Columbus it's time to move on.... except, this rapid growth has even plagued the rural areas with the same housing market trend. It's sad for those of us who just want to live a simple life, raise a family and get by. I don't see how, with a 50k down payment on a house your mortgage could easily still be over 2k a month (conservatively) for 30 years and that is considered "affordable"?

Appreciate the insight as well!!

Agree, Columbus city schools is not a good school system.

This city is not worth these housing prices that’s for sure

Exactly

Ok well where has rent not gone up 20+ %

Thanks man! Glad you watched the video

Thanks for the comment? Do you think intel is good or bad overall for communities?

@@LivinginColumbusOhio614 growth is good, it's when the city doesn't plan well around it. My wife has a job interview in Marion next week. Hopefully within a month we'll be packing out of Portland for that area. With rent so low I think we can afford to pay off our debt in a year and think about purchasing or building in mid 2024. Intel being there will likely double home prices within five years. However, your area seems like it has a decent amount of tech moving in so I bet it's already moving that needle. The move works for me and the creator friends I work for. This will put me within eight hours of almost all of them. I can be on site same day to fix tech problems and we'll be in the same time zone making live stream support less of a burden.

Those big corporations always ruin housing prices. Just because a fortune 500 company moves to an area doesn't mean everyone will be making fortune paychecks. It's ridiculous.

@@gif24gt60 Intel is actively hiring all of our plants employees. They have the top 2 highest pay and benefits package in the area for companies hiring 50 or more people a year. Portland was already a boom because of all the headquarters here, but the Intel activity recently has compounded it. The Intel office here had Obama visit and the secret service refused to make him wear a clean suit. Intel paid millions of dollars to let him walk in unchecked for a 20 minutes visit to their clean room for photos. That kinda local f$#k you spending trickles down to their packages for employees. We make over 110k a year as a household and can't afford meat we can identify most of the time. It's insane out here.

@@gif24gt60 The problem is when you have a bunch of NIMBYS who won't allow new housing to keep up with new jobs. That's why housing is so expensive here in California.

Hanks Texas BBQ is great imo 👍

City BBQ?

I don’t build houses….

what I just read, is that the effective proerty tax is 35 % of of appraised value.....So if I buy a hous at 400 000, I will pay tac from 120 000 aprox, about 1200 Dollars .

@@merakerli Well in Texas I pay over 3000 on a 120,000 home and 2756 on a 285,000 home (different cities)... so the property taxes seem down right cheap in comparison
