Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

"Assessed value" and "market value" are different.
My homes assessed and market value difference is 13%, not 400%.
Nifty.
Your home doesn't have restrictive covenants that don't allow people to live there.
K, then that would mean that it should be worth less overall, right?
Yes ..
Is your home sitting in an insanely wealthy area of the country where the mega-wealthy control the assessors office?
While I'm sure that Mar-a-Lago isn't worth a Billion even the Real Estate Agents in Florida are saying the property is worth a minimum of 300 Million. For perspective a 2.3 acre lot nearby is currently listed at $200 Million and Mar-a-Lago has 20 Acres!
The sub 20 million dollar valuation accepted by the Court is absolutely absurd. That amount of money wouldn't even buy you Mar-a-Lago's driveway.
It has covenants that prevent it from being used as a home or residence. It's worth less than other properties because of those use restrictions. Yes Donald is in violation of those covenants by living there. But when you're a star, you know, they just let you do it.
LOL, you have no idea how exclusive real estate works do you? The wealthy will pay absolutely MASSIVE premiums to keep away from the poors. It's why every property in that neighborhood is stupidly expensive.
do you acknowledge the existence of said restrictions? or are we just giving anecdotal commentary?
Do you acknowledge that other properties in that same area with those same restrictions are listing and selling well over the 100 Million dollar mark?
I hear what you are saying but it doesn't match with documented reality. You are entitled to your opinion but not your own set of facts.
Which other properties in the area have the same restrictions? I didn't know about that.
lmao this sound exactly why the special silver boy is on trial on NY right now, if I recall correctly the judge referred to it as a "fantasy world".
You could argue that being owned by a former President and being the source of so many trips during his presidential term it became known as "The Southern White House" or "Winter White House" should increase its value.
By virtue of the fact that up until just a few months ago, you could even go there and casually peruse security sensitive and classified information if only you found the right bathroom, I guess you could say it was priceless.
You could argue that, but you'd be wrong. Watch Selling LA to see what a celebrity premium is worth lol.
Trump crosses that line from celebrity to President, but Presidents aren't normal celebrities.
I agree, had he never become President, the resort owned by "that Apprentice guy" wouldn't carry additional value.
Presidential properties are a different class.
bwahahaha those dumb names haven't heard in a while, I prefer Mar a Lardo personally, would that increase the property value? maybe the classified documents you can find in the shitter?
