Only in Seattle - Real Estate Unplugged

Two Denver skyscrapers just sold for a jaw-dropping 96% discount from their 2019 values. That's right—buildings once worth $200 million went for a mere $3.2 million, less than many single-family homes! This episode exposes how tech-heavy cities like Denver, San Francisco, and Seattle are watching their commercial real estate markets collapse as remote work hollows out downtown cores and homeless encampments drive away remaining businesses. Is this the inevitable result of pandemic policies, or just the first domino in a nationwide commercial real estate crisis? Watch as we break down how Democrat-run tech hubs are facing the consequences of years of mismanagement while developers scramble to convert empty office buildings into residential units.

Another day, another Starbucks fleeing San Francisco—the fourth closure in seven months while officials desperately try to spin 'declining crime rates.' Watch as we expose how corporate America is quietly voting with its feet, abandoning neighborhoods where bathroom-less coffee shops tell the real story officials don't want you to acknowledge. From unionization threats to sidewalk chaos featuring 'whacked-out homeless people with swords,' we break down why Starbucks is choosing to close decades-old locations despite community protests. When will San Francisco's leadership connect their failed policies with the emptying downtown storefronts that once generated their tax revenue? Is anyone surprised that businesses prefer locations where customers don't have to step over encampments to get their morning coffee? Subscribe and share this video to help expose the real consequences of public policies that politicians claim are working—while empty storefronts tell a different story.

Gov. Gavin Newsom has a new strategy to eliminate the large, long-standing homeless encampments that have been a thorn in his side throughout his administration: Push cities to make them illegal. The governor on Monday called on every local government in the state to adopt ordinances that restrict public camping “without delay.” He provided a hypothetical model ordinance that lays out exactly what he'd like to see banned: Camping in one place for more than three nights in a row, building semi-permanent structures such as make-shift shacks on public property, and blocking streets or sidewalks.

California legislators have been told to expect a deficit of $10 billion or more even if revenues do not fall due to higher than anticipated spending, reports Politico.Critics note that the $10 billion figure matches estimated costs of the state's expansion of eligibility for Medi-Cal, the state's taxpayer-financed health care system, to all income-qualifying illegal immigrants.“What a fiscal coincidence: precisely the estimated cost of Gavin Newsom's plan to extend state Medi-Cal to illegal immigrants,” said Will Swaim, president of the conservative California Policy Center on X.Earlier this week, the state-funded Legislative Analyst's Office warned the state's economy is “stagnant" and “fragile" and that the budget is reliant on an “unsustainable” stock market. Earlier Friday, the LAO urged lawmakers to consider the possible negative downturn that tends to but does not always accompany significant decreases in consumer sentiment.

San Francisco's 'historic crime drop' collides with reality as the Public Defender's Office shuts down to new cases. Is crime really at 'the lowest levels since the 60s' while stores flee downtown in droves and public defenders drown in a 40% surge of felony cases? Mayor Lurie wants to slash budgets by 15% while simultaneously ramping up arrests—welcome to the predictable chaos when progressive policies finally hit rock bottom. After years of enabling open-air drug markets and rampant lawlessness, city officials are desperately trying to save face with suspicious statistics that don't match the situation on the ground. Are officials just cooking the books while the justice system implodes? Is this the inevitable result of 'defund the police' fantasies colliding with reality?

California's green dream crashes into reality as dozens of Democrats join Republicans to crush Newsom's gas car ban. While officials pushed magical 2035 deadlines, refineries are already fleeing the state, threatening $8/gallon gas prices that will devastate working families. This episode exposes how Sacramento's environmental virtue signaling led to refinery closures, special 'California-only' gas blends, and unsustainable mandates—all while the state literally begs residents not to charge their EVs during heatwaves. Is anyone surprised that forcing electric vehicles on people who can't afford them doesn't work? Or that banning gas cars while having an inadequate power grid is a recipe for disaster? Subscribe now for more no-nonsense breakdowns of government policies that hurt your wallet while politicians pat themselves on the back.

Once again, politicians 'solve' a housing crisis by making it worse. Washington State's new rent control bill promises relief while guaranteeing skyrocketing costs and 7,000 fewer housing units over the next decade. Governor Ferguson just signed legislation capping rent increases at 7% (plus inflation) or 10% - whichever is lower - but completely ignored the real issue: supply shortages. Now developers have even less incentive to build in a state already drowning in regulations, while property values will drop by $1.1 BILLION and maintenance spending will decrease by $16 million annually. Is anyone surprised that the three states with rent control (Washington, Oregon, California) also have the highest rents in the country? Why do politicians keep implementing policies that economic data clearly shows will backfire?

Yet another wave of retailers fleeing San Francisco's 'doom loop' mall, and the exodus just keeps accelerating! Seven more stores (plus bonus closures!) have abandoned the sinking Westfield Centre as it drowns in $625.6 million of debt. While city officials claim streets are 'cleaned up a bit,' retailers like Rolex, Bloomingdale's, and even Sunglass Hut have decided homeless people using elevators as toilets isn't part of the luxury shopping experience they promised customers. Watch as we explore how this once-thriving 1.5 million square-foot destination has transformed into an empty shell that nobody wants to touch—even after FOUR delayed foreclosure auctions. Is this rock bottom for San Francisco, or just another chapter in a completely preventable policy disaster?

Another day, another economic disaster brewing in Los Angeles as city officials push a mind-boggling 48% wage hike for tourism workers—right as a billion-dollar budget shortfall looms. Watch as we break down how this well-intentioned but economically illiterate policy threatens to decimate the very industry it claims to help, with hotels already closing and workers losing jobs before the ordinance even passes. We've already seen 23,100 fast food jobs vanish after California's last minimum wage experiment, yet politicians refuse to learn the simple lesson: mandating higher wages without economic reality to support them creates unemployment, not prosperity. Is this deliberate destruction or just stunning incompetence? Either way, the results will be predictable and devastating.

California's self-inflicted gas crisis is about to hit wallets HARD with projections of $8.43 per gallon by 2026. Watch as Valero and Phillips 66 refineries flee the state, taking millions in revenue and leaving a gasoline deficit of up to 13 million gallons daily. Why? Because California's virtue-signaling politicians have created a regulatory nightmare while banning gas vehicles by 2035. As usual, Sacramento claims to be 'protecting consumers' while refineries that have operated for decades are saying 'we're done.' Remember when officials blamed 'price gouging' for high gas prices? How's that working out now that companies are shutting down entirely? The most painful part? Those hit hardest will be everyday Californians already struggling to make ends meet.Is this what 'green leadership' looks like—skyrocketing costs and greater dependence on Middle Eastern oil shipped on carbon-belching tankers? Will Gavin Newsom admit his policies are driving this crisis, or find someone else to blame?

LA officials watched as squatters turned vacant Hollywood homes into disaster zones, with FOUR FIRES in just two weeks. Is anyone surprised? While neighbors begged for action, bureaucrats promised to 'begin the formal process' and take 'urgent steps'—after the buildings were already burned to the ground. Meanwhile, Sacramento Democrats voted DOWN a bill that would have made it easier to remove illegal squatters. This episode exposes the madness of California's 'build it and they will come' homeless policies, the millions wasted on emergency responses, and the absolute failure of leadership putting neighborhoods at risk. Why do officials seem more concerned about protecting squatters than taxpaying residents? Subscribe, hit that bell, and drop a comment telling us what YOU would do if squatters took over in your neighborhood—because with leadership like this, you might need a plan.

California's insurance crisis has reached absurd new levels as even LOW-RISK homeowners are being pushed onto the state's 'last resort' Fair Plan. Despite living miles from fire danger, thousands of Californians with spotless insurance histories are being abandoned by their carriers. Our analysis of CBS News data reveals the shocking truth: 10 TIMES more homes in low-risk areas are on the Fair Plan than high-risk ones! Why? Insurance companies can't make enough profit under California's restrictive regulations. Meanwhile, state leaders blame 'price gouging' while homeowners face skyrocketing premiums for less coverage. Is anyone surprised that decades of misguided policies have created this mess?

Yet another desperate move by San Francisco officials: cutting police academy training from nine to six months just to get bodies on the streets. While city leaders who once chanted 'defund the police' now scramble to address their self-created staffing crisis, they're willing to compromise on officer preparedness in the name of quick fixes. From offering $400,000 salaries to veteran officers to rushing rookies into service, this podcast exposes how decades of poor planning combined with anti-police sentiment has created unprecedented public safety challenges across major West Coast cities.Is anyone surprised that slashing police budgets and demonizing officers led to mass retirements and recruitment failures? Do officials actually care about public safety, or just the appearance of doing something?

NYC's brilliant solution to rampant bodega stabbings and shootings? $1.6 million for panic buttons. Because nothing says 'tough on crime' like installing 500 buttons that alert police who are already overwhelmed and understaffed. This video breaks down Mayor Adams' latest band-aid approach to the city's hemorrhaging crime problem, examines the reality of slow police response times, and questions whether technology can substitute for actual law enforcement. From criminals dressing as cops to knife fights erupting in small stores, we expose how officials keep avoiding the root causes while taxpayers fund ineffective 'solutions.'

Chicago's brilliant solution to violent teen takeovers? A curfew that criminals will surely respect! While teens organize mass gatherings that end in shootings and chaos, politicians waste time debating whether the curfew should be at 8PM or 10PM instead of addressing the root problems. Meanwhile, residents are told to stay locked in their homes while teens run wild through Streeterville. This episode exposes how ineffective 'geo-fencing' and temporary curfews are when there's zero accountability for parents or consequences for teens committing crimes. We break down the $millions wasted on police resources for these band-aid solutions while officials refuse to implement measures that actually work. Where are the parents in all this? Why is Chicago more concerned with ACLU approval than resident safety?

San Francisco's supervisors want police on every corner, but don't want to pay the $91 million overtime bill they've created. Classic government hypocrisy: defund the police, watch officers leave in droves, then act shocked when overtime costs skyrocket to maintain basic public safety. This video exposes how city leaders who demonized policing now face a staffing shortage of 525+ officers while simultaneously demanding increased patrols in tourist areas. Meanwhile, businesses flee downtown, property values plummet by 90%, and supervisors somehow believe they can have public safety without paying for it. Is there anything more predictable than politicians creating problems and then complaining about the cost to fix them?

California's sky-high gas prices aren't due to 'corporate greed'—they're self-inflicted wounds from layers of Democratic policy nonsense. This breakdown exposes how Gavin Newsom's spin contradicts a new USC study proving regulations, not refineries, are gouging californians. While Newsom blames 'big oil' for $6.42/gallon gas, refineries are fleeing the state faster than U-Hauls full of former residents. Is anyone surprised that driving out businesses leads to higher prices? Officials claim they're 'protecting the environment' while importing oil on dirty-fuel tankers from the Middle East—because that makes total sense.

Yet another California Democrat wants to give lawbreakers a free pass—this time decriminalizing welfare fraud up to $25,000 for 'administrative errors.' Because clearly, the solution to California's problems is fewer consequences for breaking the law! This episode exposes Senator Smallwood-Cuevas's SB 560 that would eliminate criminal penalties for welfare fraud below $25,000, despite LA County already investigating 15,000+ fraud cases annually with only 200 reaching prosecution. Is this genuinely about protecting families from paperwork mistakes, or just another layer of California nonsense that taxpayers will ultimately fund?

Subscribe, share, and comment below with your thoughts on whether decriminalizing welfare fraud will actually solve anything—or just create more problems for honest taxpayers.

Washington's legislators just struck again with a rent cap bill that guarantees housing will be even MORE expensive. While claiming to help vulnerable renters, this 7% cap law is about to backfire spectacularly, driving developers out of state and ensuring landlords maximize EVERY annual increase. $500 million in potential housing investment is already being reconsidered—exactly what the fifth most expensive rental market in America doesn't need. Is anyone surprised that politicians who don't understand basic economics are creating the opposite effect they intended? They're calling it 'relief' while we're calling it what it is: another policy disaster that punishes the very people it claims to help.

Washington state's latest "Covenant Home Ownership Program" is taxpayer-funded discrimination disguised as housing assistance. They're literally handing out $120,000 down payments based on skin color while poor white families and even wealthy black homeowners foot the bill through recording fees. The program has helped a whopping 200 families (sarcasm intended) in a state of millions, requiring applicants to somehow qualify for $7,000 monthly mortgage payments on modest incomes. Is anyone surprised this virtue-signaling exercise won't actually close the homeownership gap? Officials claim success while most eligible recipients can't meet credit or income requirements to use the program.

Portland police let a knife-wielding maniac run free for THREE DAYS while local businesses lost money and residents fled in terror. Yet another example of absurd 'de-escalation' policies where a man who pepper-sprayed officers and lunged with a knife was deemed 'not a threat to the public.' This video breaks down how police departments nationwide are now refusing mental health calls, creating a dangerous public safety vacuum that affects everyday citizens. When cops won't respond and social workers can't handle violent situations, who exactly is protecting our communities? Is this hands-off approach what taxpayers are funding with their hard-earned money?

A musical organ in a homeless encampment? Welcome to Seattle, where 10,000 pounds of trash was just removed from a public park by volunteers—not paid city officials. WeHeart Seattle and their team hauled away everything from weightlifting equipment to Halloween costumes while the city continues its game of homeless whack-a-mole. Officials celebrate removing tents from downtown while the unhoused simply retreat deeper into the woods, rendering the 'official' homeless count meaningless. Is this really the best that one of America's wealthiest cities can do?

This episode exposes how federal officials are now considering involuntary commitment and homeless 'concentration spaces' after years of the failed 'housing first' approach that's turned cities like Seattle into open-air asylums. Meanwhile, billions flow to the homeless industrial complex where nonprofit CEOs pocket six-figure salaries while people defecate on public buses.

Do we really need Supreme Court rulings to tell us that letting mentally ill people live in public parks isn't compassionate?

Gavin Newsom's latest flip-flop would be comical if it weren't so pathetic. After years of battering California's oil and gas industry with crushing regulations, carbon neutrality demands, and margin caps, Newsom is suddenly begging refineries not to leave the state. Why? His 2028 presidential aspirations can't afford $8/gallon gas prices when Valero and Phillips 66 shut down their operations.Watch as we break down California's self-inflicted energy crisis: from importing 70% of their oil (up from just 4.5% in 1988), to Newsom's desperate letter pleading with refineries to stay after spending years driving them out.

FEMA has denied Washington State's request for $34 million in disaster aid following last November's bomb cyclone, sparking backlash from state leaders. Despite meeting all federal criteria, the state received no explanation for the rejection. The storm caused severe damage across multiple counties, leaving residents without power and damaging infrastructure. Critics argue that Washington's status as a sanctuary state and its budgetary mismanagement—like funding electric bikes amid a $15 billion deficit—undermines its credibility. The denial highlights growing frustration with liberal governance and prioritization, calling into question federal resource allocation fairness. FEMA has offered to explore alternative support routes, but the outright refusal of primary aid underscores skepticism toward liberal state policies and fiscal responsibility.

Washington State launched a long-awaited e-bike rebate program amid a $15 billion budget deficit. This program offers up to 10,000 vouchers funded by $4 million in taxpayer dollars.

Portland Mayor Keith Wilson marked his first 100 days in office with an ambitious promise to end unsheltered homelessness within a year. But it remains an open question whether the city's $93 million budget deficit will get in the way.Just weeks after Wilson took office, city officials revealed that Portland is staring a down the barrel of major potential cuts to city services. City Administrator Michael Jordan released his proposal in February, and as deep as the cuts in that plan seemed, they only accounted for $35 million of the gap.

Is anyone surprised that putting a Ritz Carlton in a city where Antifa and homelessness dictate downtown policy turned out to be a terrible investment?
