    Edifice wrecks/CRE disaster update:

    Finally, it’s happening.

    The departure of an Atlanta information technology company from a Dunwoody office complex has forced the building’s owner to look for a way out.
    OA Development has asked its lender for permission to sell 100 Ashford Center, according to a Morningstar Credit note from last month. The buyer may demolish the 5-story, 162,000 square-foot building to build new apartments, according to the note.

    https://archive.ph/7LXvm

    Better to implode and rebuild these wrecks as housing. There are literally thousands of these older stock office complexes littered around metro Atlanta, many empty or with non-economic vacancy rates.

        That’s one possibility. Another big one is “extend and pretend,” where the banks holding the note pretend that it’s 2016, Powell doesn’t still have 8 months in office, and the noteholders pretend to pay them.

        Eventually, that strategy runs out of road when it becomes clear that no recovery to anything resembling mark-to-fantasy numbers is possible in the foreseeable future. That brings the capitulation phase, which we are now at.

        Sell at land value minus demo cost, to a buyer willing to take on the risk. Banks get sheared. Or in this case, more likely Aunt Edna’s pension fund gets sheared.

              The phenomena of these “deplorables concentration camps” popping up so quickly speaks to planning of some sort. It sounds suspiciously like the ‘mysterious’ suddenness of the arrival of the Patriot Act after the 9/11 terror attacks. As in the case of the Patriot Act, these “camps” must have been planned out well before the “immigration crisis” trigger was pulled.
              This may not rise to the definition of a conspiracy, but it most certainly fits the definition of malign machination.

        Being left to rot doesn’t make them a tax write-off or not. The depreciation deduction for the investor that purchased the property exists whether they tear it down or not. In fact, there would be a whole new round of depreciation deductions for the spending on a new structure.

        The real issue with real estate is that depreciation is so high, investors can have a tax profit even if they sell property at an economic loss because they got tax write-offs in prior years. Further, in many states the property tax valuation is set at purchase with increases capped so that current property tax valuation does not reflect actual value. I don’t know about Georgia, but this can result in a new purchaser having different economics from the prior owner.

        Hence, the tax impacts of a change in ownership (both income tax and property tax) do create rigidity in the real estate market and can discourage redevelopment transactions.

      Last September I stayed one night in John Portman’s Hyatt in downtown Atlanta and had a perfect view of into the office building across Peachtree Street. Several floors were completely empty. Absolutely nothing on the street to attract a pedestrian and the restaurant in the hotel was expensively mediocre. My children live in Atlanta and I have begun counting the empty office buildings as we drive around when visiting. The reckoning is coming and it will be ugly. Next thing you know there will be mass shootings in Buckhead. Oh, wait.

    “White House pushes back on Kremlin claims Trump and Putin agreed to meeting. An official said Putin must meet with Ukraine’s Zelenskyy for it to occur. The White House on Thursday pushed back on claims by the Kremlin that a meeting between President Donald Trump and Russia’s Vladimir Putin had been agreed to with a location secured. A White House official told ABC News that no location has been set and that President Putin must meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for the meeting with Trump to occur — something the Kremlin has not been willing to commit to so far.”‘

    I can believe that this happened. Trump tried to force the Russians to have Zelensky at the meeting with Trump and Putin. The Russians probably asked what was the point of having the monkey there when you already had the organ-grinder. Ex-UK defense secretary Ben Wallis was also demanding that the Europeans have a seat there so that they could wreck the whole thing but nobody takes them seriously anymore. Would you believe that Trump even suggested the White House to have that meeting?

      Having the meeting in the US is a non-starter as long as the ICC charges against Putin are not dropped.

        Meanwhile, the Russian Army continues to grind its way to victory in the Ukraine.
        Also, Russia has made a deal to position oreshnik missiles on the Byelorussian western border. That puts all of Europe within range. Add this to Russia exiting from the intermediate range missile treaty. Russia is preparing for the worst case scenario.

          There is an article in Links today called “Trump: Putin may agree to stop war in exchange for territories – Bloomberg” but that is Trump being disingenuous as Russia is on the verge of taking all those territories in the next coupla weeks anyway. The guys at The Duran just put out a video talking about how the eastern front is all falling apart and suggest that this is why Trump demanded this meeting. So that he can negotiate something, anything to stop the Russians finally getting their victory-

          https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ScpUSAPQwNQ (17:42 mins)

          So they are probably right for preparing for the worse because if the Ukraine implodes, the west – including the US – will go absolutely nutso.

      In his 8/7/25 commentary, Alexander Mercouris noted the “fast one” pulled by US in putting its interpretation of what was agreed out before the Kremlin statement (having asked the Kremlin to delay its statement until Witkoff reported to DJT). I got the impression from him that a significant part of the “point” of the Witkoff visit was to create conditions suitable for narrative management.

      I wonder whether this was simply a maneuver to dominate the news cycle for a while. DJT proclaims great progress in diplomacy, garnering some press, and then when reality later intrudes, he can criticize VVP as a not-good-faith counterparty, then impose some sanctions. Peace through strength.

      Perhaps it’s all simply posturing in the sight of the press.

    “Trump doubles reward to $50 million for arrest of Venezuela’s president to face US drug charges”

    Maybe Maduro can join Al Qaeda. That way the US would lift the reward off his head like they did with Syria’s Jolani. Maybe they might even end up giving him money. But this is all about drug charges? Seriously? Panama’s Noriega was also accused of drug crimes before the US invaded back in ’89. And even way back then accusing a South American President of drug crimes was considered boring and repetitive with no attempt at coming up with something new.

      Is this just another regime change operation, as we’ve see there in Venezuela now for a while? Anyone here believe that Maduro is actually capitalizing on cocaine traffic? I mean they’ve got a lot of high quality oil, so why would he do that?

    When I was a lab manager, we were doing research used as evidence in an environmental lawsuit that resulted in a nine-figure settlement. I made sure everything was backed up off-site. I secured critical data logs. Those were extreme conditions at the time. But at this point, I hope anybody will assume their information is not secure, and will air-gap archive and backup in a way to survive platform failure.

    I was surprised when I realized I was going to institute none of Nate Bear’s interventions. But I’ve worked hard to have nothing to say that is both important and confidential. This is the only site I value-add, and if legal constraints aren’t enough to cover confidential, I go in person.

    Multi-dimensional urgencies become overwhelming. Janet and I are at the stage of going through stuff, and it’s no longer enough that an item or words produce an emotional response, or was important. As Siu wrote, So What? What’s the future good? To Whom?

    The archives are for what we don’t know is important. Which could be anything. Sumerian accounting records. Diaries for understanding daily lives of far cultures. But if the AI’s and their surrogates (or vice versa) can go in and re-write the past, that collapses the future. You can’t tell if it’s Broken News without memory.

    The 3I/Atlas space object is just the third interstellar object to be confirmed so far. There is a move to try and get NASA to repurpose the Juno 3 Jupiter probe to visit the interstellar object for study. The Juno 3 was going to be crashed into Jupiter soon anyway. This would be a doable project with unknown but possibly important data recovered. So far, silence from the Mandarins at NASA.

    re: Germany AfD

    Every week I have to concede that for many German leftists, whether they are for or against Russia, the demonization of AfD is of undeniable substance. If you argue SPD, Greens, CDU, FDP were the main perpetrators in the harm being done they will still argue “but the AfD is worse”. And then they try to prove their point with those parts of the party that they regard as “völkisch”.

    Even if that is true – I have no contact to those kind of AfD voters – I still allow myself to argue from the distant observer´s POV which always has been a core tool of independent scholarship and am trying to stress that words are menaningless compared to deeds.

    As Walter Kirn said early this year: Everybody talks about workers´ rights and to help and support this and that and those – but when it comes to voting, to acting, to actually doing something about that, they do either nothing or to the opposite.

    And this contradiction and inherent hypocrisy is still not and will never be acknowledged by a certain influential intellectual culture that at the same time tends to oppose the system/state.

    So expect protests against AfD to be repeated when it comes to elections.

    What you will get of course is the worst of both worlds eventually. Far right eclipsing classic workers´ positions, and neoliberal order hollowing out society more and more. Be it because Russia is evil, or China is dangerous, or at some point India.

    84 American Ballistic Missile Launchers Ready to Hit Key Chinese Infrastructure Targets: ATACMS Arsenal Growing on Taiwan Military Watch

    They are as ready as invasion of Kaliningrad. Jokes aside, there are few interesting tidbits.

    The ATACMS has been extensively combat tested in the Ukrainain theatre, and gained notable success when utilised for strikes both against key infrastructure and against Russian air defence systems. The sheer quantities delivered has meant that although the ballistic missiles are intercepted at a high rate, their occasional successes can cause tens of millions of dollars in damage from a single strike, making their use highly cost effective.

    They actually admit being intercepted at high rate, which means that it’s not very good of a missile (compared to those that Russia, Iran, Yemen use). Also it implies that doing “tens of millions of dollars in damage” requires firing tens of millions of dollars in missiles (knowing not-so-low price), which is anything but “highly cost effective”.

    The intensity with which they have been used, however, has resulted in a serious depletion of stocks.

    So the launchers are ready, missiles not so much. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.

    The use of the ATACMS by Ukraine has been heavily facilitated by support both from Western satellites, and from personnel on the ground, which is critical due to its complexity.

    Yet another confession of what was denied.

    The systems are expected to have much lower utility than in Ukraine …

    But they are ready. :)

        All things considered, it would have been better for everybody if Trump had had his second term back in 2020 when he was still partly hobbled. The worse excesses of is present second term would not have been possible back then but ‘the resistance’ ™ would not hear of it and maneuvered him out. Now we have a Trump that is not only determined to reshape America into how he thinks that it should be run but also the entire planet.

    Re Guardian on cuts to National Park staff–I’m certainly opposed to this although some of the arguments are a bit strained.

    “This is not sustainable in the short term and certainly not in the long term as visitors start to notice the lack of maintenance and work on landscapes,” Garder said

    Work on landscapes? Are they terraforming? The truth is that the NPS boosters are often the ones treating nature like theme parks whereas nature–absent people–is certainly capable of managing without us and has done so for billions of years. The primary goal of the national parks was always supposed to be preservation rather than tourism. You wonder what John Muir would think of his Yosemite paradise today with its packed in crowds of summer tourists. Plus many or most of the fires now plaguing the West were started by humans although the devasting and still ongoing Grand Canyon north rim fire was caused by lightning.

    Meanwhile the person I know that works for the Forest Service is still hanging onto her job and hoping to make it to pension. It’s not as though our government bureaucracies are above criticism, but rather that the Trumpies merely want to divert the money to much worse or even crooked uses. If quality rather than quantity is needed then Trump should be the first government worker to go.
