    But again, people wanting a "shitty little yard" are going to gravitate to neighborhoods that are currently like that and then fight when their "shitty little yards" are taken away, right? Why is that wrong?

    Surely you get the spirit of what he is saying. You live in a quiet little neighborhood then a big housing complex goes up across the street.

    i mean then say that, at least here the closest thing to this dynamic is quadplexes

    which don't functionally change anything

    I forgot how literal you are. g8r got the spirit of what I was saying. Quadplexes are a good example. And I'm not saying that those people opposing them should "win", just that it's easy to understand their arguments and motivations. Although I do understand that's easier to just paint them as assholes.

    to state the obvious, they're still assholes and I don't find the argument that quadplexes to fill demand are negatively impacting someones suburban castle life

    Well god forbid that user lyrtch doesn’t agree with someone’s opinion or thoughts if they disagree with how he sees the world. As such their opinion is invalid and worthless; also they are nimby’s that should be beaten and hung in the town square.

    Saw the Spiderman movie during the holidays in Panama and that's how it was there. I believe that they were still spacing for Covid so people roughly sat where they were supposed to. Seems like it was at a Cinépolis are maybe Cinémark.

    Got enough saved up in the HSA to start looking at how to invest it. Opening TD Ameritrade account then will hopefully be able to setup an automated transfer into VTI or something like that.

    Need advice. My wife is the executor of an estate for our niece who turns 18 in a couple months. Our niece works part time as a barista and plans to attend community college within the next year.

    We figure there will be around $40-50k left for her. The will states the estate should be under my wife's care until the age of 25.

    What would be the best way to invest the money for her?

    Was thinking of opening a Roth IRA for her has a minor and contributing the maximum amount based on her earnings. The problem is I think she would take over the account at 18 and would be able to take contributions out.

    Would putting it all into a taxable index fund and let it ride be the best?

    Ideally we'd want to make sure it's invested and untouched for as long as possible.

    taxable index fund. she may need the money before retirement unless there's some mechanism to avoid fees on transfer, which I doubt.

    Note, I think once she turns 18 she would have to open the accounts. Not sure how it works for a non parent opening an account for a minor.

    No that’s not how Changes in Beneficial Ownership disclosures work. This wasn’t a compensation package disclosure.

    I don’t know how you want frame it, but she’s making a bet on something. She clearly believes she’s going to make money her.

    Redeveloping something old and dilapidated often costs more for the developer (not to mention being more difficult to plan) compared to a new build, which explains why you see more new builds. From a policy perspective, there are already a number of tax incentives in place that are intended to offset the cost differential (e.g., tax credits, brownfields abatements, etc.), but the incentives are often difficult to obtain/comply with, and consequently they turn some people away. Under the current tax system, making the incentives difficult to achieve is largely necessary in order to prevent abuse.

    So your wife is the trustee of a trust for the benefit of her niece? Go with taxable so the funds aren't locked up once the trust goes away at age 25. IMO you'd be doing her a disservice to lock the funds in a Roth.

    Your wife is likely subject to state laws that require trustees to adhere to "prudent investor" standards (and other fiduciary duties), which may require her to make reasonably prudent investments of the funds while she is trustee. If so, it'd probably be safest (for your wife) and easiest to go with index funds and bonds. I bet Vanguard/Schwab has a product for trustees that automatically balances a portfolio, so you may want to give them a call. If they don't, they can probably point you in the right direction.

    Well this ended up being the play, I originally thought it would be because of lack of cap ex and a general decade of energy naivety but now most of the move in the last month is due to this terrible war. I'll imagine the ECB will start handing out the equivalent of stimulus checks to cover energy expenses/food for its countries, there are going to be a lot of countries that experience significant pain due to rising food prices if this war persists (its already bad). Arab spring all over again except this looks like it could be worse.

    If it isn't a commodity exposure I'm basically going risk off, the threats to the economy and stock market are very high at the moment combined with the Fed no longer having markets backs.
