Los Angeles-based business owner Yvette Ingram has decided to close all five of her beauty supply stores in California and Texas due to a series of break-ins that have affected her mental and physical health as well as her livelihood. Ingram's stores, which began facing break-in problems during the 2020 lockdown, have been broken into a total of 12 times, causing thousands of dollars in losses and putting her life in danger on several occasions. Ingram, who started her business in 2016, expanded during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the recent rise in crime has forced her to shut down her brick-and-mortar operations. She believes that the current situation is not only hurting small businesses but also larger enterprises, as the odds of criminals getting caught and prosecuted are slim. In the most recent incident, thieves smashed the windows of her Tarzana store location and stole $25,000 worth of merchandise. This devastating loss, combined with the ongoing threat to her safety, has led Ingram to make the difficult decision to close her stores. Ingram initially fell in love with wigs and helping cancer patients in 2014, which led her to open her first beauty supply store. Sadly, the increase in crime has now forced her to close her businesses. This situation is affecting not only small businesses like Ingram's but also larger corporate stores, reflecting the overall challenging environment for brick-and-mortar operations. ?

Below is an interview of Edward Pinto, the Director of AEI’s Housing Center, with Fortune’s Shawn Tulley on the state of rapidly rising home prices across the country: In almost five decades as one of America’s top housing experts, including a stint as chief credit officer of Fannie Mae, Ed Pinto has never seen prices climb at anything like the pace he’s seeing for May. “The high end is up 25% over May of last year, and the overall increase is 15%,” says Pinto, director of the American Enterprise Institute’s Housing Center. “What’s driving those incredible increases is an arbitrage opportunity. The work from home economy has unleashed people who before the pandemic were tied to jobs in expensive coastal metros and empowered them to move to cities where they can get a lot more house for the same or in most cases less money.” He notes that even though the trend is inflating values in places like Phoenix, Raleigh and Pittsburgh, those locales remain such a great bargain for the refugees from Boston or San Jose. He believes nationwide prices have plenty of room to keep surging at comparable rates in the coming months, before moderating to an annual increase of 10% in 2022. Pinto collects his May home price appreciation (or HPA) figures from closed sales. He then uses these data to calculate HPAs by tracking changes in prices for the same homes from one period to the next. He divides the market into four price tiers: low, low-medium, medium-high, and high. Each is based on the average sales price in a metro for all the homes reported in the public records. “Low” encompasses all houses selling at 40% or less of the average sales price of houses with FHA mortgages in the metro area; low-medium qualifies at 40% to 80% of the FHA metro area sales price; medium-high goes from that 80% mark to 125% of the Fannie and Freddie maximum loan limit for the metro; and high comprises sales that exceeds the 125% mark. For example, in Phoenix the Fannie or Freddie loan maximum is $548,000. So the “high” tier starts at $685,000.

In a surprising turn of events, celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay’s $16.1 million London pub has been overrun by squatters. The York and Albany Pub, which was pending sale, is now barricaded by the intruders using Ramsay’s own kitchen appliances. The squatters, self-described as professional and using the space as their new home, have left the once-pristine pub in disarray with personal belongings and debris scattered about. The police, citing the situation as a civil matter, have taken a hands-off approach, leaving Ramsay to grapple with the legal complexities of eviction. This incident underscores concerns about property rights and squatter laws in major cities, reflecting broader discussions on legal reform and property management challenges. #GordonRamsayPubTakeover #SquatterRights #PropertyManagement ?? ??????? ???? ??????????+ ??? ?????????? ?????? ? https://ReasonableTV.com/ ?????????? 00:00 - Squatters take pub 02:00 - Squatters cause chaos 04:00 - Property damage reported 06:00 - Squatters claim rights 08:00 - Legal challenges arise 10:00 - Tenant laws discussed 12:00 - Rental market strategies 13:40 - Episode conclusion ?️ ????? - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/ ? ???? our ????

PORTLAND, Oregon — Portlanders' complaints about dangerous driving, speeding and street racing are starting to get as loud as the noisy exhausts that reverberate through parts of the city. Seasoned runner and cyclist Daniel Hough is unfortunately used to close calls with cars on the roads. But after having a brief altercation with a driver he said cut him off just a little too close, he called Portland police. Two weeks later, Hough said their response was that there's "really not much the police bureau can do right now because there is no traffic enforcement program." He said police told him the program was entirely defunded. As it turns out, the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) has only one full-time designated traffic officer. His name is Sgt. Ty Engstrom. "When I first came to the traffic division, we had 35 motorcycles and probably 10 or 12 cars back in 2009. And before they dismantled everything, we were down to about 18 or 19 motorcycles and one car. And now we're down to one motorcycle full-time," Sgt. Engstrom said. Dismantling refers to the reassignment of officers in the traffic division to help with staffing shortages within precinct. Portland police staffing dropped from 934 sworn officers in June 2020 to 554 in June 2021. - - - Sign Up For Exclusive Episodes At: https://reasonabletv.com/ LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for new videos every day. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople - - - Reasonable+: Become a Reasonable+ member to gain access to the entire uncensored catalog: https://reasonabletv.com/ - - - Ways to Follow! * Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/NewsForReasonablePeople * Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/newsforreasonablepeople * iTunes - https://apple.co/2MkFziJ * Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2Dh8EoL - - - #Reasonable #News ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t33GT-pazQ0
