If you read this and still think the virus does not relate to rights and rights do not relate to investing...I dunno...I guess all I can say is stop, just stop, go home and play with your toys, it's time for the adults to step in and take charge.Anyone who wants REI to continue, please read these and think real carefully, and consider what measures like this proposal really mean.

A fun trick I like to use to check one market over another: U-Haul rates for trucks.I just looked up a one way trip on U-Haul's site from Phoenix, AZ to San Jose, CA for a 20 ft truck (June 5th pick up date).

I was behind a woman at Target and she bought her child a $45 toy truck with her card.

If your target customer is military families, make sure you have children proof amenities, a stroller for rent, toys for kids, Disney+ on TV, no sharp corners.

And little toys down the commode are worse than hair.

Took one booking, the tenants broke contract by bringing a pet (dog hair and a bone were left behind), and Landing was not exactly pleasant to deal with in recouping security for extra cleaning and damages (dog used the ceiling fan remote as a chew toy). 

Bruce,I think right now you have so many folks working remotely that the commuting issue is in fact not an issue and to be honest I really think this new trend of remote work will be around for the long haul.

I can't speak for myself but my sister has a vacation rental here and she added baskets with beach towels, inexpensive flip flops, and children's toys/board games.

Low cost, long haul, index funds will get you there.
