@Daniel LynchI was a Marine.

Flushing a nearby toilet would cause a woosh of air in the pipe and create a smell.The solution was to pour 2 cups of marine (rv) anti freeze and a bit of water down that drain to fill it with something that won’t evaporate.

It involves figuring out a way to address the rampant income inequality in this country that is creating a handful of winners and a whole lot of losers.

Hey Seattle BPers - I've got a challenge for you: pull out your crystal ball, your data sets, and your intuition and predict the highest appreciation Seattle neighborhood in 2020, 2021, and 2022.Winner gets something.

There are definitely winners and losers as any city changes and  grows (which could be a whole topic and post to itself!). 

Home to The Ohio State University with nearly 60,000 students, 5 fortune 500 companies, over +25% population change since 2000, 2016 smart city challenge award winner gaining 50 million dollars in funding from the government ( https://www.columbus.gov/smartcity/), Intel is spending 20 Billion dollars to build two semiconductor plants, and many many more great things presently and coming in the future.

Never did do any business but I live in Portland OR. and am familiar with the condo deal she did and it was a winner,, they got in at the right time and flipped out at the right time.

That's a winner. 

I am very picky on what looks like a winner. 

I do share your concerns, and I do think we are quite late in the business cycle and asset prices are quite full right now, but surely there are winners and losers in any environment (barring another global meltdown).
