- Signed up with Zoom. Video with nick eric frank qq last night.
- Did some research on homebuying during a recession. Prices and rates go down. Risk goes up due to unemployment, etc. It’s the same as buying stock during a drop.
- The 925 gramercy spot has been on the market for about 2 weeks now. Offer 725? These are weird times to navigate, start very low. Not gonna be (m)any buyers. S&P has dropped 32% in the past month, this is offer is ~20% below ask. It’s going to keep getting worse.
- 1.5T is basically just offering to buy back treasury bonds. Technically a 30day loan for cash with zero interest, but can be permanent with no change. It was undersubscribed, which means that 1.5T was sufficient for the banks and everyone, at least in the immediate future.
- 36 apt packages upgraded on my laptop. Updated repos.
- Listened to couple npr planet money podcasts.
- Tried to place an amazon fresh order, no slots available. It only shows 1 week.
- Downloaded and made account with lyft so I could use citi bikes.
- Walked 5 miles down to and around Gramercy to check out the prospective neighborhood. Took a little over 2 hours.
- Barber shop, comedy club, diners, restaurants, pubs, equinox.
- Lexington between 27th and 29th looks like a little india!! Maybe 20 restaurants and spice markets and stuff!
- The walk to work is 1.5 miles, took 30 min.
- Homebuying timeline: offer this week, settle on numbers, sign contract first week of april, home inspection, bank appraisal, submit package to board by apr 20, they review at meeting may 11, finalize/clear/close, move in by end of may.
- Got street meat for the first time, chicken and falafel over rice and salad.
- Background watched carriers and dream house.
- Talked to Harner, Sean’s friends, Allie, zoom with LA folks.
- Cleaned, laundry, sheets.
- Removed robinhood from mint. Added td.
- Submitted the cancellation request with southern california edison, my old utilities provider. It will cancel on 3/23, monday. Usage was very low after I left, so 3 weeks of empty service didn’t cost much.
