Downtown’s Real Life Halloween Horror: Squalor and Typhus Outbreak in Los Angeles

Homeless Haunted by Hideous Hazard

We tried to find some more fun Halloween entertainment choices today, but could not ignore the real scary news stories this Halloween that are unfortunately true tales of fright. The number of patients in Los Angeles’ typhus outbreak has surpassed 100, according to NBC News. Observers see a clear correlation between the rise of typhus and the area’s 47 percent increase in homelessness since 2012. #dtla #typhus #halloween

7 SCARY MISTAKES FOR HOMESELLERS TO AVOID – FREE REPORT

A typhus infection can cause headache, high fever and, in rare cases, meningitis and death.  Feces from infected fleas and ticks are rubbed into cuts or scrapes in the skin or rubbed into the eyes.  The bacterial disease can then also be transferred by people, carriers without symptoms, such as restaurant workers. It is also spread by mites including body lice and chiggers.

Nearly 10% of all L.A. Area cases have been downtown, where squalid conditions in the skid row neighborhood, such as piles of trash and conspicuous rats, have contributed to the outbreak. Department of Public Health said that no typhus deaths have been registered in 2018. While the city has taken some measures, such as increasing cleaning budgets, the dangerous conditions continue to grow. Homeless with dogs and huge rat populations continue to increase unsanitary garbage and unsafe conditions in Los Angeles streets and parks.

Horrors of Downtown Drugs, Violence and Disease

The outbreak follows other recent homeless-related outbreaks, including Hepatitis and drug gang violence. Local homeless services leaders say that local, state and federal governments are not treating this like the emergency that it is. While waiting for officials to clean up this mess, please enjoy this Rodentz horror film trailer.

Selling Your Loft In The Fall – 5 Good Reasons To Make Your Move Now

Getting the Most Money When Selling a Home
Getting the Most Money When Selling a Home

Back to school and back to work done and done.  Now it’s time to get busy sellling your home.

5 Reasons You Should Sell This Fall!

1. Demand Is Strong
The latest Buyer Traffic Report from the National Association of Realtors (NAR) shows that buyer demand remains very strong throughout the vast majority of the country. These buyers are ready, willing and able to purchase…and are in the market right now! In fact, more often than not, multiple buyers end up competing with each other to buy the same homes.

Take advantage of the buyer activity currently in the market.

2. There Is Less Competition Now
Housing inventory is still under the 6-month supply needed for a normal housing market. This means that, in the majority of the country, there are not enough homes for sale to satisfy the number of buyers in the market. This is good news for homeowners who have gained equity as their home values have increased. However, additional inventory could be coming to the market soon!

Historically, a homeowner stayed in his or her home for an average of six years, but that number has hovered between nine and ten years since 2011. Many homeowners have a pent-up desire to move as they were unable to sell over the last few years because of a negative equity situation. As home values continue to appreciate, more and more homeowners will be given the freedom to move.

The choices buyers have will continue to increase. Don’t wait until this other inventory comes to market before you decide to sell.

3. The Process Will Be Quicker
Today’s competitive environment has forced buyers to do all that they can to stand out from the crowd, including getting pre-approved for their mortgage financing. This makes the entire selling process much faster and much simpler as buyers know exactly what they can afford before home shopping. According to Ellie Mae’s latest Origination Insights Report, the average time it took to close a loan was 44 days.

4. There Will Never Be a Better Time to Move Up
If your next move will be into a premium or luxury home, now is the time to move up! The abundance of inventory available in these higher price ranges has created a buyer’s market for anybody looking to purchase these homes. This means that if you are planning on selling a starter or trade-up home, your home will sell quickly AND you’ll be able to find a premium home to call your own!

According to CoreLogic, prices are projected to appreciate by 5.1% over the next year. If you are moving to a higher-priced home, it will wind up costing you more in raw dollars (both in down payment and mortgage payment) if you wait.

5. It’s Time to Move on With Your Life
Look at the reason you decided to sell in the first place and determine whether it is worth waiting. Is money more important than being with family? Is money more important than your health? Is money more important than having the freedom to go on with your life the way you feel you should?

Only you know the answers to the questions above. You have the power to take control of the situation by putting your home on the market. Perhaps the time has come for you and your family to move on and start living the life you desire.

That is what is truly important.
