Riots Minneapolis and St Paul: as related to appraisals

[George Hatch]

I have an appraisal report in Kingsfield, it's on hold right now....
I have to add: businesses burned down were largely POC business, the were multi-generational immigrant businesses, family owned buildings. This is not directed at landlords in Mpls, it was directed at what was first available for destruction. Will this trigger a flight to the suburbs like the 1960's?

My biggest issue: will you be going in to these areas/surrounding communities? When? Mostly, what does an appraiser say in an appraisal report? I'm worried about anti-discrimination laws and the like.

The Delicate Dance of a Fair Appraiser

Real estate professionals have to keep fair housing practices in mind at all times, but what responsibilities face an appraiser when it comes to...

Of course I'll do business in these areas. The only thing that will delay me will be the temporary curfews and police-enforced roadblocks and no-go zones. I was at ground zero for the Rodney King Riots 3 days after they restored order, and although it was a little tense nobody threatened me.

Regardless of the anti-social actions of the militants, the normal people in those areas still need services of all types, including their legal and financial transactions. And they need service providers who are conscientious, diligent and competent to do it and who will follow the data and not any personal concerns they may or may not hold. For example, even if I thought the area was going into decline I would never say something like that in an appraisal report unless that's how the data was going. That would be horrifically unethical.

As an appraiser you are not going to get hassled for doing your job. If someone jams you all you have to do is tell them you're appraising this property for this property owner which is their neighbor because they're trying to get their property financed. Maybe ask them if they know of any houses that have rented in the neighborhood because your appraisal assignment includes a rental survey. That always works. Get in/out before 11:00 AM and you'll be fine. The street scenes don't tend to get more animated until after the crooks get their first couple of 40s in them.

The explanations in your reporting can be written in very generic terms, similar to what they're suggesting for the pandemic event. The references I'll use will be to the "civil unrest events in 05/2020" and I'll leave it at that because every reader will know what I'm talking about. I don't need to editorialize or emotionally manipulate the reader beyond that.

Thank you!

Daughter attended a peaceful demonstration this evening in NoCal. No telling how many other peaceful demonstrations took place over the last few days, the fake news is only reporting events that spark viewer interest. Daughter reported that she did notice the police officers at her demo took off their body cams, presumably to not make a record of their behavior if it were to exceed official rules. Nephew, a physics and business degree graduate from UC Berkeley, working for SpaceX, was celebrating the successful launch to the ISS today, while wishing he could have been on the streets with his cousin.

OMG! How reprehensible!!

And some wish to fuel the rioters (and others) via Universal Basic Income.

You watched that video with the officer kneeling on the man's neck for 9+ minutes and this is the direction you go in?

Why do anarchists like to break glass windows, tag buildings, and set buildings on fire? What did a building ever do to pi. ss off anyone? Houses don't kill people, houses house people.

Because they're losers that have never worked for a living.

“The problem is that white people see racism as conscious hate, when racism is bigger than that. Racism is a complex system of social and political levers and pulleys set up generations ago to continue working on the behalf of whites at other people’s expense, whether whites know/like it or not. Racism is an insidious cultural disease. It is so insidious that it doesn’t care if you are a white person who likes black people; it’s still going to find a way to infect how you deal with people who don’t look like you.

Yes, racism looks like hate, but hate is just one manifestation. Privilege is another. Access is another. Ignorance is another. Apathy is another. And so on. So, while I agree with people who say no one is born racist, it remains a powerful system that we’re immediately born into. It’s like being born into air: you take it in as soon as you breathe. It’s not a cold that you can get over.

There is no anti-racist certification class. It’s a set of socioeconomic traps and cultural values that are fired up every time we interact with the world. It is a thing you have to keep scooping out of the boat of your life to keep from drowning in it. I know it’s hard work, but it’s the price you pay for owning everything.”

If one were to believe that, or any of that, now what?

That's 3rd wave feminist intersectional dogma, rewritten. The only term they left out was The Patriarchy.

Love that we daily see posts by those that are part of the problem.
