Karma: She refused to sell her house to Trump supporters, now it’s $100,000 lower
August 25, 2018 | Vivek Saxena |

A coastal elitist who used her complaints about President Donald Trump’s alleged “deep” lack of morals to justify discriminating against his supporters just suffered a “deep” hit to her wallet.

The trouble for the unnamed California woman started when she put her Sacramento home for sale back in the spring. At the time the woman requested that her real estate agent not sell the home to anyone who supports the president.

“When you’re talking about principals, morals, and ethics, it’s very, very deep,” she had said to the media in defense of her clear-cut discrimination.

Discrimination is neither principled, moral or ethical, but OK …

Now fast forward to Friday, when word broke that the woman finally received an offer on her home for $495,000, a whopping $130,000 less than its original listing price.

Not an isolated case by any means. This is a private transaction but there were dozens of public businesses who declared that they would not deal with anyone who supports Trump. I remember a gas broker in the NorthEast and an Ad Agency on the West Coast, among others, who issued formal statements declaring that if you support Trump, they do not want your business.

TDS overpowers the profit motive...I guess? How can you argue with insanity? Trying to understand crazy Liberals is futile. Normal people will never understand how they think.

Just another example of cutting off one's nose to spite one's face. If it had been me, I would have told the agent to sell my house to some lefty Obama fan for at least $130,000 more than it really is worth. Ha ha, suckers!

I love my wife. We've been remodeling the house over the past month. During a conversation with one of many flooring companies, she restated that she wanted to stay in the house for at least 3 years to enjoy it. She left a caveat: if someone walked in and said they'd buy it on the spot for $100K over market value, she said, "we'll be out in 24 hours".   

I'm just looking forward to getting my kitchen back, preparing my smoothies and salads on the island.



This is plan b if we have enough granite left over from the countertops, plan a is butcher board. Depends on the size of the slab.

By the time we get through, we'll have new flooring and carpet, two new bathrooms. It's my first remodeling project and it's been a real learning experience.

Women Pays the Price for Refusing to Sell Home to Trump Supporters

A Sacramento, California area woman just learned the hard way about the cost of refusing to sell her home to any Trump supporters:

A Carmichael resident landed in the national spotlight in March, when she put her family home up for sale. She had one special instruction for her real estate agent: Do not sell to a Donald Trump supporter.

I just caught a bit of an interview with Willie Nelson. He is nearing 85.

He said he doesn't mix music with politics.

The real laugh here is that a 2 bed 2 bath 1800 square foot shitbox is worth close to a half mil. You have to be GD stupid to make that a justifiable purchase.

The same house in San Jose, parts of LA, Three times that. Nice coastal towns, Santa Monica, Santa Barbara, La Jolla even more.


Coastal equals cooler summer temps.

And you don't see a problem with that sort of irrational inflation?

Affordable housing in Santa Ana.....

One man's "irrational" inflation is just another man's normal resort town pricing.

Washington DC suburbs, NYC, Jackson Hole Wyoming. Malibu.


I watched when prices peaked 2005-2007 and then drop about 35% in a couple of years. It was the end of life as we knew it.


Then I watched prices rise first slowly, then faster o reach and surpass the previous 2005-2007 market highs by around 2016.

RE prices are about location, and what time it is in what cycle?


A home in the OC which sold for $40,000 in 1974 is priced at about 7500,000to $1,0000,000 now.

I said priced at, not worth.

A home which sold for $12,000 in 1955 is priced at about $400,000+ now.

Liberals are really good at pushing out the undesirables by making everything unaffordable where they live.

Also true here in Hawaii.  Affordable housing is a joke.  On my little cul-de-sac there are only 3 home owners.  And only one of them bought within the past 5 years (that was us).  The rest are renters.  People can't afford houses here.

Note that the headline makes it sound like she lost out on $100,000 by not accepting an offer from a Trump supporter.

What, according to the article, actually happened was that she listed the house and told her realtor she didn't want to sell to Trump supporters.  Then months later when she sold the house it sold for $130,000 less than she initially listed it for.

I think it's pretty safe to say that the reason she didn't get what she initially listed it for is not that only Trump supporters would have been willing to buy at that price, but that the initial price was too high.

This takes a special kind of stupid.

No kidding.
I'd sell my house to Bernie supporter if the price was what I was asking for.
Then again, a Bernie supporter would want me to give it him, so that wouldn't be a reality.

This is in reverse of what happens when one uses discrimination to cut one off from the marketplace in the stock market world by only investing in 'socially responsible' or 'politically correct' companies.  Calpers is an outstanding example.

The Pension Fund That Ate California
CalPERS’s corruption, insider dealing, and politicized investments have overwhelmed taxpayers with debt.
