Usually this blog doesn't highlight house fires but today's blaze across the bridge is important.
It seems the Northland family didn't have renters insurance and now there's a Kickstart launched to help them out . . .
Even better, Doug Gamble over @ Hotel 816 will be putting them up until they can get on their feet.
Here's another shot of the tragic blaze and a roundup of recent news coverage:

I can't imagine how much it would cost to rent a house like that.
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the same neighborhood where the Garney Mansion burned? What are the odds?
ReplyDeleteNO RENTERS' INSURANCE ?!! But got
ReplyDeleteover 4000 sq. ft. to cool/heat. . WTF?!!
Let's hear the whole story. How many adult occupants? Vehicles? Credit cards? Full employment? Priorities, much?
I'm supposed to to feel sorry for someone who can afford to rent a house that size? I don't think so.
ReplyDeleteJust click on the Kickstarter link - and get a snoot full of nigger. Isn't this preciously typical nigger behavior? Rent a house without renters insurance and then began when something happens unlike the other 86% of humans. Jesus fucking christ.
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look like they're struggling to me. That house is easily $200-300K and they had to have insurance on the house with a mortgage debt of that size. That homeowner is not struggling.
ReplyDeleteI hate to see anyone's home burn but I agree with many here they are not by any means indigent folks if living in a place like that. Nice the motel place gave them a room for a few nights so they have a place to sleep till new place located.
ReplyDeleteBriarcliff homes go for the mid-$300K up to 1 mil. These people are just fine.
ReplyDeleteI bet the people who paid big money to live in Briarcliff have been so happy with their "diverse" renter neighbors and their chilluns. And I bet they're all having a celebratory glass of wine for the fire. Fires are cleansing.
ReplyDeletegood job today TKC with the varied news blurbs minus the snarky remarks & race baiting. This is more productive and better reading.
ReplyDelete1014, it isn't baiting. Someone rents a house five times the size of most houses south of the river and I'm supposed to feel bad that they lack of insurance? It's call Natural Consequences. Poor choices lead to poor outcomes.
ReplyDeletethe house won't sit there gutted out for long. The magic hand of the market will have it leveled and removed and another house will pop up just like magic
ReplyDeleteSomething stinks more than smoke here. Bet the homeowner has insurance and wanted or needed the place to go up in flames. Bet they get this money and a payoff down the road.
