| Vic, my view is opposite, Ortega knows she has no chance to win, by breaking with Sanchez she saves her political future, bcz didn't endorse a guy that created an immigration chaos, and that is a very sensible issue in Malaga. |

pana, it's great news actually, if sanchez loses the election, but manages to keep control of the psoe..
because the new generation of psoe leaders, who could challenge the PP in the future, will be suffocated by sanchez before they can make it. |
|

pana, an example would be:
Ortega doesn't quit and, after the elections, decides to challenge sanchez for the psoe leadership.
that won't be happening. |

pana, breaking with an allied is bad news for Sanchez
which ally?
those who are quitting the psoe are not his allies, but his potential enemies.
that's how sanchez became psoe leader: by backstabbing the former leader, susana diaz, and turning the psoe against her.
he doesn't want the same to happen to him. |

Vic, not sure Redondo is right, usually socialists sell their souls to add votes, i.e. the fusion in EU between LQBTQ and Islamism.
So, breaking with an allied is bad news for Sanchez. |

El Salvador President Nayib Bukele launches military operation in Haiti, threatens to eviscerate Haitian gangs as he did to gangs in El Salvador if they don't return hostages.
The statement came after four Salvadoran men were kidnapped by Haitian gangs.
"Today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive," he said.
Bukele says the four Salvadoran men are aviation technicians.
"They were kidnapped in a cowardly manner while returning after buying food at a market in the area.
"That is why, today, we have launched a military operation to rescue them. We have a single objective: to bring our four compatriots back home alive, without any harm."
Bukele then issued a warning if gang leaders harm any of the men.
"I want you, the gang leaders, to understand one thing very clearly: today's attack is nothing compared to what is coming if we do not get all four hostages back alive..."
"And do not take our word for empty threats. We have already finished with the gangs in El Salvador, and we can finish with you too..."
"Return our four compatriots to us alive, without any harm, and everything will go back to how it was before the kidnapping." |

pana, redondo explains the reason why sanchez doesnt care if malaga's Katrin Ortega and other psoe people quit..
and why sanchez is also purging the psoe of popular figures.
sanchez only wants people who are 100% faithful to him in next congress..
so these deputies won't stage a coup against him, and will keep him as psoe leader even if he loses the elections.
and, according to redondo, sanchez is already assuming that he will lose.

Daniel Bueno Vorcaro (born October 6, 1983) is a Brazilian businessman and former majority owner/president of Banco Master (formerly Banco Máxima). Once celebrated as a meteoric "outsider" in Brazil's banking sector, Vorcaro became central to one of the largest corporate financial frauds in South American history following the extrajudicial liquidation of Banco Master in late 2025.
===
At the center of the latest scandal is Daniel Vorcaro, a disgraced banker responsible for the country’s largest ever banking fraud and a much less-discussed scheme for legally ripping off public workers through a payroll-deduction credit card. In only a few years, Vorcaro became incredibly well-connected, benefiting from the benign neglect of the Central Bank president and paying off other directors at the institution. He hosted bunga-bunga parties in New York for Brazil’s financial and political elite and traveled on one of his multiple private jets to Courchevel with his “friend for life,” an influential senator to whom he was paying monthly stipends of between $60,000 and $95,000. The scandal around Vorcaro’s defunct Banco Master revealed a compromised regulator, a drained state bank, bought-off politicians, a prison suicide, plunder of public funds, and a very bad bit of cinema.

| Haines seemed like a very nice person hard to see how she was a serious target and in this manner - something only a kook would do. Seems tragic. |

La diputada australiana Helen Haines ha sufrido la amputación de ambas piernas tras ser embestida por un automóvil frente a su oficina electoral, según informó su esposo este miércoles, mientras el hombre acusado del ataque comparecía ante el tribunal.
Los médicos amputaron la pierna izquierda de Haines después de que el presunto agresor la atropellara dos veces con su vehículo en Wangaratta, al noreste de Melbourne, el lunes, explicó Phil Haines. Los facultativos intentaron durante días salvar su pierna derecha, pero finalmente no fue posible, señaló durante una conferencia de prensa en Melbourne. ”La buena noticia dentro de todo esto es que Helen está viva y se encuentra estable. Eso es lo más importante para nuestra familia”, afirmó.
Haines, una política independiente que ha impulsado causas como la lucha contra el cambio climático y la vivienda en zonas regionales, permanece en estado crítico. La policía continúa investigando el motivo de este inusual ataque contra una representante electa. |

The vast majority of homeowners in Appleton and Kaukauna hold >40% equity in their homes or own them outright. An owner facing divorce or an heir handling an estate does not need to panic-sell at a 30% discount; they list at a 3–5% discount below market for a rapid 14-day cash closing.

BTW nothing I do can be generalized - first rule of RE is that it is always local.
I would not want to have any exposure at all in say Florida (and I have lived there of and on for about 7 years and have own residences and rentals there). |

In the US, as SPAL can confirm, rents are still very expensive in terms of current values.

See my comments below ... my rents are not expensive and will rise about 5% p.a. |

A buyer's market capable of driving down prices requires more than 6.0 months of available housing supply. Outagamie County inventory consistently hovers between 1.5 and 2.2 months of supply. To trigger a price crash, inventory would need to triple overnight without any corresponding increase in buyer demand.
Schpal will buy dips. |

Private multi-family development in Kaukauna is virtually non-existent compared to suburban Grand Chute or Neenah. Zero risk of local multi-family oversupply guarantees high pricing power for existing well-maintained duplex and multi-family inventory.

Here are my rental markets - based on Goldy's view on rates and mortgage lock in.
Demand Drivers: The monthly cost of buying a median Appleton home ($315,000–$325,000 at 6.5%+ mortgage rates plus taxes and insurance) sits at roughly $2,100–$2,300/month, compared to average 2-bedroom market rents of $1,250–$1,450/month. This $800+/month buy-versus-rent gap keeps young professionals and young families in rental units significantly longer.
Supply Constraints: Multi-family construction in Outagamie County remains constrained by high commercial borrowing costs and site availability, keeping net new unit completions below annual household formation rates.
Outlook: 4.5% to 6.0% annualized rent growth with structural vacancy hovering between 2.0% and 3.0%.
Economy moving into Schpal mode. |
