Working class neighborhood

[OSU Beavers]

"Working class neighborhood" a good descriptor of entry level homes and the two job buyers who have purchased them.

Well the other day I was in what could best be described as a "NON-Working" class neighborhood. I have never seen so many able bodied adults sitting on their porches in the middle of a week day.

Universal Basic Income coming to a hood near you.

Consider it hush money.

So what happened when you walked up and asked them to account for sitting on a porch minding their own business?

Maybe they work night shift.

I can see this "descriptor" being the subject of a local tavern, beer fueled, discussion to vent some resentment or perhaps dark humor. But it seems inappropriate for an appraiser to be talking, let alone thinking, this way.

Did you mean to say Veranda Cercopithecoidea?

"Working class neighborhood" is not a good descriptor anyway and might even invite criticism for the appraiser as well as the appraisers client. It is a subjective description.

Maybe they were appraisers?
I know many AMC friends/former colleagues of mine who still work at AMC's look at many of us that way
"You come and go as you please" ... "Must be nice working from home" ... "You just drive around all day and take pictures" ...

They hear stories of us swimming in our pools, golfing, taking the boat out, etc "during the middle of the day"
... the sad part I always remind them about is ... said appraiser was probably up until midnight or whatever trying to get caught up on due dates and their "golf game" is their first day off in XX days/weeks

OSU, Honestly, I highly doubt your "able bodied adults" were appraisers, but I'm just playing devil's advocate.
I'm a "city boy" and see it often myself, but as a professional appraiser ... remain unbiased, objective and independent

The house next to the vacant fix and flip I was inspecting had seven cars in various condition on the front lawn. As I was measuring that side of the subject the porch sitters started chirping their car alarms. They did that for then next 10 minutes until I was done. Classy.

When I say "Working class neighborhood" think Levittown. We don't have many night shift employers and a local orchard owner told me that he is begging people to pick fruit and trim branches for $16 an hour.

Maybe they work night shift.

Most likely in a cash business.
