We need to fight and stop the #fcc from selling off the "valuable #realestate"--our #amateurradio #frequencies--to the highest bidders!
In his interview with Laura Ingraham on #FauxNews tonight, #Trump also talked about how he envisions an economic partnership with #Russia might go. “They have some very valuable things for us,” he said, “including very big forms of rare earth.” He described Russia’s land mass as “a big chunk of #RealEstate, the biggest” & said “they have things that we could use, frankly.”

A $10 million Toronto architect's home is everything you'd hope it would be
There's something about architects' and designers' own homes that just hits different. It's probably because they aren't limited by clients' preferences and they are free to be creative and experiment with materials, finishes, layouts and whatever else their heart desires. And while s...

A typically provoking and amusing article from Stewart Lee (whether you agree with it or not) - I do wonder why Chiles is still employed (oh whoops - his status as husband to the editor overrides and consideration of writing, style, content or tone).

"@hillthalisaup: In a country so obsessed with real estate & such exorbitant housing costs, why do we have such a poor standard of design & construction??
Hills Shire Council is to expected very little of, but somehow they fail to achieve even 'very little'. "
#Trump’s post Thurs added little detail to the proposal, while underscoring his focus on #Gaza as a #RealEstate challenge.
Trump wrote that Gaza “would be turned over to the #UnitedStates by #Israel at the conclusion of fighting.” The #US, he added, would work with “great development teams” to construct “what would become one of the greatest & most spectacular developments of its kind on Earth!”

The clash reflects an intensifying battle between #ElonMusk & #FederalAgencies as the #Trump admin nears the conclusion of its second week. #Musk has sought to exert sweeping control over the inner workings of the #USgovernment, installing longtime surrogates at several agencies, including the Office of Personnel Management, which essentially handles federal HR, & the General Services Admin, which manages #RealEstate. (Musk was seen on Thurs visiting #GSA….)
