Apparently, a home very close to my home was victim to a drive-by shooting last night.\u00a0 0.8 mi from my house to be precise, but not in my subdivision.\u00a0 This is the kind of thing that I would have expected to hear happening in my old neighborhood and most definitely not something where I currently live, where the crime rate is pretty low, and incidents like this occurring are extremely few and far between.<\/span><\/p>\n The good news is that despite there being gunfire, nobody appears to have been hurt, and the assailants have been caught by the police.\u00a0 The article states that the victims of the shooting did not know the attackers, which it\u2019s hard to know what to believe, because otherwise why would a car full of people come to a house in the middle of the night and just unload gunfire on the property if there were no connection whatsoever?<\/span><\/p>\n Either way, it\u2019s disheartening to hear of such senseless violence and gunfire occurring in my generally otherwise peaceful community, but this is where the conspiracy theorist in me begins to come out to try and make sense of the incident.<\/span><\/p>\n See, unbeknownst to the news article, and what those who don\u2019t live around the area are aware of is the fact that the home that was attacked, is also on the market.\u00a0 I know this, because I drive past this house on a regular basis, going to and from the office, most of the time when I run errands; I drive past this home regularly and often.\u00a0 According to Zillow, the attacked home was listed as pending, but I have to imagine that once the police report becomes public and the party who made the offer finds out about this incident, it probably won\u2019t be pending for much longer.<\/span><\/p>\n Inevitably, the value of the home will most likely take a substantial hit in price, and the poor family who was probably hoping to capitalize on the still-seller\u2019s market will have their hopes stepped on when they\u2019ll have to drop the price in order to compensate for the fact that the property was just freshly involved in a drive-by shooting incident.<\/span><\/p>\n Additionally, across the street from this home, and within the next four lots are two properties also on the market, with one of them being under contract currently.\u00a0 Granted, one of them is solely a plot of land, but I have to imagine that even land is affected by incidents of crime, since those whom might want to built a home on said land, would still might be unnerved building right across the street of a home that was shot up in the middle of the night.<\/span><\/p>\n So what I\u2019m thinking here is that, in this day and age where big, evil, soulless property investors who go around hoovering up property and effectively cockblocking tens of thousands of Americans from becoming homeowners, one of the more nefarious and lacking in any sort of ethical practices investment companies, set all this shit up.\u00a0 Set up some expendable fall guys to go shoot up an innocent home on the market, drive down its market value, as well as the value of any nearby properties, and then swoop in and pick them all up while they\u2019re all forced to discount on account of fresh crime.<\/span><\/p>\n For all I know, the pending offers on the victim and the nearby unit were the same party, and they\u2019ll pull out now that some big and bad albeit orchestrated crime has occurred, but they\u2019ll wait in the wings for the prices to come down and then swoop back into the fray and make some lowball offers and get the homes at a deep discount.<\/span><\/p>\n Not very likely, but I also don\u2019t think it\u2019s entirely unrealistic either.\u00a0 The real answer will be when inevitably when all these available properties eventually flip, if they\u2019re bought up by actual human beings, or if they\u2019re picked up by some ambiguously named entity that is code for asshole investor.<\/span><\/p>\n Regardless, this whole situation sucks, hearing of gun violence so close to my home, shattering the fa\u00e7ade of peace and tranquility, especially after I left a real warzone to come to where I am now.\u00a0 And of course, if the victim family really didn\u2019t know the assailants, the fact that they were just picked to be target practice for a car full of psychos, regardless of if this was orchestrated by some shady shitty investors or not.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Apparently, a home very close to my home was victim to a drive-by shooting last
