Scary Story of Los Angeles Real Estate – LA Home Buyers Frightened Out of Their Wits

Depression and Disease Portend Downtown Distress  #dtla #realestate

Could Downtown Los Angeles degenerate into a leper colony?
Could Downtown Los Angeles degenerate into a leper colony?

After the L.A. real estate peak of 2018, homeowners remain confident, even as prospective home buyers grow fearful.  #news

The median Los Angeles single home price soared to $950,000 in 2018.  In the same three-month period of August-October 2019, that price has begun a soft rebound, at just $500 less.  Reinforcing the moderate decline is the slightly spooky news that L.A. homes are now taking longer to sell, as the median days on market grew from 28 to 33 days.

While the city as a whole is still awash in cash thanks to wealthy westside residents and investors, the loft neighborhoods around Downtown are quite a bit spookier, with recent months showing blood-curdling property value declines of 7%. This deathly drop is definitely not lucky.

Respected mainstream financial sources, such as Forbes, have recently begun to report chilling economic news that Americans are destined to struggle for survival in a zombie economy of stagnation where the US federal government increasingly follows European, socialist-style actions to create zombie banks, zombie companies, along with artificially conceived unicorns, resulting in a stunted economy.  A large stock market crash could appear as the most spine-chilling possibility of all, stealing a huge sum of wealth almost overnight, causing distress, leaving almost nowhere to run.   |   VIDEO

A year ago, the L.A. Loft Blog reported horrifying Halloween news of tent city rat-infestation and typhus disease. The good news is that the number of cases has dropped by about 50% since last year’s peak — but now, some doctors see the specter of something potentially even more creepy.

We can rely on Hannity to bring us a big Halloween scare, with reports of local homeless deaths rising by 50% since 2013. Dr. Marc Siegel, a doctor of internal medicine at New York University’s Langone medical center, has warned that neighborhoods pack with poverty, such as sprawling Skid Row, could spawn a sinister resurgence of other ancient frightful diseases, including leprosy. Inadequate shelter and hygiene ignite the perfect cauldron for a contagious disease that is transmitted by nasal droplets and respiratory secretions.  Because it usually takes about three years to diagnose leprosy, a massive outbreak could sneak up on us, growing and spreading silently.  Then, all of a sudden, reports of an outbreak could lead to petrifying panic of biblical proportions as Skid Row transforms into what many might see as a terrifying leper colony, plagued by festering sores, eye disease, decay and amputations.

Trick or Treat!  Happy Halloween from the L.A. Loft Blog!!  Enjoy the festive Downtown holiday events.

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.
