Armed robbers disguised as delivery workers

Image
On June 12, 2024 in Aurora Colorado.  Three people disguised as delivery workers came to a house saying they had a package for them and holding a box. Once the owners opened the door 3 armed men came in and robbed the place.   Here is good tips to prevent this. - You can get a PO BOX  or use a drop off center and pick it up - UPS and Fed ex drivers have branded uniforms - If it looks suspicious or you're not expecting any packages. Don't open the door.  - Tell kids not to open doors to strangers and keep the doors locked.  Thank you for reading

Pizza lovers who live in Longmont Colorado according to a facebook post by Antonio's  real New York pizza.  They said if anyone  can show up on short notice on Wednesday or Thursday DM their Facebook page.  And you will be selected to try free pizza slices.  For people who don't know Antonio's real New York pizza is a popular place in Estes park that has been open since 2014.  This year they decided to open another location in downtown Longmont Colorado.  In 2006 the family moved to Colorado from Long Island New York.

Should landlords who got help during covid be allowed to sue renters?

During the COVID-19 pandemic, both landlords and renters faced significant challenges, but the assistance and support provided to each group varied.

While these measures helped renters indirectly, they primarily benefited landlords. 2. Rental income protection: Many governments and insurance companies provided rental income protection to landlords, ensuring they continued to receive income even if tenants couldn't pay rent. 3. Tax benefits: Landlords could claim tax deductions for rental income losses, which helped offset their financial burdens. 4. Legal support: Landlords often had better access to legal resources and advocacy groups to navigate eviction proceedings and rent collection. In contrast,...

Image
The median mortgage payment rises to a record high of $2,894 per month in the 4 week period ending on  May 5th 2024.  That's an increase of +14% from 2023, +23% from 2022, and +78% from 2021.  These numbers don't include taxes, insurance, utilities, and maintenance costs. In my city of Longmont Colorado median listing home price was $625,000 and median sold price was $585,000 during the month of May. Owning a home is not affordable anymore in Colorado and in many cities in America in 2024.  Idk if is possible for most millenials or Gen Zers to buy a home?  According to zillow average rent price for all properties in Colorado is  $2275 a month and that includes apartments.   So now many people are renting rooms but room rentals are $700++ with 3+ roomates.  Thank you for reading and let me know how you feel about this?
