JEFF VAUGHN: Cost per square foot to build a home in California: $600. Cost per square foot to build a home in Texas: $200

A contractor tells me that the cost per square foot to build a home in California has just crossed over $600.

And with that the building company has decided they can no longer build in the Golden State. Instead they are looking to Texas, where the cost is around $200 a square… pic.twitter.com/X3hw1u1LdM

AMY NIXON: To put this in perspective: More homes were selling in early 2020, when we were in lockdown with a 20% unemployment rate and people afraid to leave their homes to tour a property

Official unemployment data doesn’t include “under-employment” or reduced income—both are happening now—and both matter very much to the health of our economy. pic.twitter.com/u96PmDhojA

A roommate or two means you have company and an extra measure of safety.

Amy Nixon.

Is this really so bad?

IMO, the worst possible health scenario for an older person is living alone in an empty house

JOHN JAY SINGLETON: why the heck does Family Court even exist? The regular Trial Court has jurisdiction to grant declaratory relief. Why do we need a Family Court? Because Family Court is being used to liquidate you. It's being used to compel you into an involuntary receivership under threat of incarceration.

12:00.  But where there are allegations like this the court can intervene in the use of money and child custody and making payments and so forth provided that changing those things would likely result in curing abuse or neglect you see how detailed this gets but yet the petitions are just being used as kind of a blank check to destroy the family.  Why the heck would that be going on?  I'm thinking about it like this, I'm thinking about our system that I'm just describing right now, the court system in Family Court, why the heck does Family Court even exist?  The regular trial court has jurisdiction to Grant declaratory relief.  Why do we need a family court?  Because family court is being used to liquidate you.  It's being used to compel you into an involuntary receivership under threat of incarceration.  That's what's going on.  So I'll give you a couple examples, but where the court can get involved is if there's like I said allegations of abuse but then there has to be evidence of abuse there has to be a hearing and it has to be in the pleading you can't just bring it up as an afterthought during the middle of the proceeding because it denies the other party the chance to respond to deny those allegations to object to the allegations even to admit the allegations but also it divest the person making them of a burden of proof it also denies the respondent the opportunity to appeal or even have a fair hearing on these items these statements of fact if they're not in the pleading.

19:50.  Lawyers are not practicing law they're not trained to practice law what they're doing is in a lot of them don't even most of them don't even know this they're practicing a tournament so I'll give you the definition your lawyer is practicing if you think your lawyer is like you know you hate him but you're still going to hire him because you feel like if you hire another lawyer he's going to do the same thing.  He's not your Advocate and he's not practicing law.  What he's doing is practicing attornment.  The definition is taking property from one person and giving it to another.  Sometimes that means the state.  And property doesn't just mean money and real estate, it also means your parental rights, your privacy, he's threatening you and public humiliation with imprisonment.  And your property rights extend well beyond money to your right just to exist and to do what you want to do.  So this is just like a public service announcement.  Check this out okay if you're in that situation.  You simply look at the pleading, meaning the petition that was filed and you find in there where there has been how there are the allegations against my property and are they supported by claims on my property?  Did my wife have a different claim on my property, my house than we had together?  Does she have a claim on my furniture?  Does she have a claim on the family heirlooms?  Where is that claim?  Is it a piece of paper?  A lien instrument?  No, none of that.
