Bias terms and adjacent religious properties

[LesPaul59]

Yea, but as an aside to your comment, the potential exists for anti-religion terrorrism, slim statistically but probably as frequent as school or hospital or grocery store incidents....

This isn't actually a consideration in your appraisal is it?

That was the inferred answer to my question, but thanks for clarifying.

Actually, none of these protocols for reducing the appearance of bias, suggested or implemented, can themselves prevent bias. They not only can't stop it, but one could argue that, in the long run, they make it more ingrained by forcing appraisers to be continually conscious and aware of the issue. Many will learn to resent the forced obfuscation of reality and seek pathways to bypass appearances through self-indoctrination to the methods that simply amplify existing bias through cloaking procedures that effectively ensure bias becomes procedure.

We see evidence of the above, time and again, on this forum. It should be quite obvious.

What is needed, like or not, are strict protocols for improving appraisal methods, including the application of mathematical constraints on the Sales Grid and the use of statistics. Unfortunately, the statistics used to understand such protocols requires a good knowledge of Matrix Algebra and some calculus, as well as some programming skills. ... Until the skill sets become more availabe - things will ONLY get worse.

Neural Networks and MARS regression are not particularly challenging; understanding them is certainly in the realm of the upper 2-3% of intelligence. Maybe even the upper 5%, - of males in any case (that is just a fact).

Is "House of Worship" still Kosher?

Don't be misleading. 'Temple' of worship is kosher. You don''t understand religious place names. Must live in a protestant area only.

I live in a neighborhood that has the highest number of catholic churches in the usa. There are no temples here.

I don't wear my feelings on my skin. Your killing me.. LOL

I think OSU was making like a "triple-entendre" if such a concept exists. LOL

My point is you need to talk to those places of worship about the subject property. Tell them what you are doing. Not confidential. Say, do you know about this property? H&B use is something you have to focus on if MV is your value definition.

Just pop in or call them on the phone or whatever.

Zoe, you are responding to your ow post--kinda like the way I give myself a thumbs-up "Like" if nobody else does--although it's disappointing that the system will allow me to give myself only one!!!

LP, I think AB is aware of the need to do so.

Your advice probably is spot-on and also efficient...but it just "seems" subjectively that to do so would lump the well-tended, infrquently-use church lot into a group of totally different and less appealing commercial uses such as mechanic shops, nightclubs, etc.
