June home builder sentiment and survey results are in. Top themes: 1) A lot more new home buyers cancelling. 2) Price cuts becoming fairly common. 3) Drop in demand finally cooling construction cost pressures (builder layoffs also happening). Market commentary to follow…
#Atlanta builder: “Someone turned out the lights on our sales in June!”
#Austin builder: “Sales have fallen off a cliff. We’re selling 1/3 of what we sold in March and April. Trades are more willing to negotiate pricing since market has adjusted significantly past 60 days.”

Large demonstration outside of the police department after recent fatal OIS.

Via @zerosum24 police in riot gear make an appearance and a couple of projectiles are thrown amongst yelling. Some members in the crowd yell “stop it” when this occurs.

Bodycam video.

Guy was fighting with the officer and grabbed his taser prior to the bodycam deactivating in the struggle.
Dashcam - shots fired out of view.

Companies tied to housing revising guidance due to supply chain. Commentary from our builder survey this month indicates things getting worse before they get better. Homes sitting, waiting for materials (dead days). Big delays in windows. Delta outbreaks. In sum, a crapshoot. 🧵
#Nashville builder: “It's a crap shoot. Some municipalities will issue permits in 1 week, & others are 6-9 months behind. Supply chain is a mess. Windows are now 7 months out, cabinets are 6 months out, etc.”
#Chicago builder: “Build cycle increased due to backordered materials including bathtubs, appliances, & ceramic tile. Trades are much more limited in availability & now have some ‘dead days’ with no activity.”

This white dude chanting “kill the cops”. Black people chanting #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER over him, but he keeps trying to turn this.

White person inciting violence at a BLM protest in #GrandRapids, for the record.
I read about white “plants” trying to cause chaos at #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER protests, so the media blames black protestors.

Grateful nobody bit on this clown’s act.
Today, with downtown #GrandRapids in shambles, it is important to spread the truth of who ACTUALLY did the destruction and looting.

Some will want to blame #BLACK_LIVES_MATTER, and, absent evidence, a racist society will believe that.

Spread the truth.
