SCOTUS watershed ruling = risk to Nat Forests & wetlands?

Huh … so WCSC News in SC is inferring:
(1). That businesses or agricultural entities or developers will either set up wells in the SC national forests or protected wetlands and drain them of water? (2). Same as (1), except that those wells will be established throughout the outside perimeter of said national forests and protected wetlands, thereby effecting the same outcome as in (1).
I had no idea that SC’s national forests and protected were so open to ‘water robbing’ exploitation from water robber barons. Or if establishment of within the boundary wells is not allowed by the charters of national forests and protected wetlands, then those perimeter wells would deplete the huge square mileage forests and preserves of their ground water.
Xxxxxx
Of course I am describing two absurd scenarios to complement the absurd assertion that the recent SCOTUS watershed ruling is strongly related to the ‘sky is falling’ BS that our national forests and preserved wetlands have been put at material risk.

If coastal real estate takes a dump than that means we are in a worse financial position than 2008.
Old village houses in Mt P never went down from 2007-2009; there were just fewer on the market, and the ones for sale just stayed on teh market longer.
Musk better hope what he says doesn't come true, because if it does, selling his little golf cart things will be the least of his worries.

Yeah, pretty much every economist and people in real estate disagree with Elon. Watch mortgage rates go below 5% again, and house prices will go absolutely apeshit

From what I've been seeing, they have gone apeshit

in the last 3-4 months.
Houses in Murrells Inlet are selling for a lot more than they were, and the average selling price for a house in Mt P is like $850K now. And anything on IOP at around $1.5-1.7 million gets snapped up in hours, not days. Its like the wild west out there in housing.
if interest rates dropped to 5%, I can't imagine how much more they would go up. I wish I could have bought a dozen houses in 2020. I'd sell them all today and retire this afternoon.

He’d probably pay you big bucks to do his thinking for him.

FYI, Musk did not specifically mention SC

Actually, Musk didn’t say that all regions would experience a collapse of both commercial real estate and housing markets.
East Coast coastal communities are such popular retirement destinations for the in-the-process-of-retiring Baby Boomer generation that the near term coastal area real estate HOUSING market should remain OK.
Pretty much every region of the country will be experiencing weakness (or worse) in commercial real estate markets in the near future. Insurance costs in coastal regions are skyrocketing. Building materials are continue to increase in costs. Labor costs remain high. Financing costs for builders have soared. All of this equates to a much higher cost for construction of new commercial real estate. Whether or not existing commercial buildings (e.g., those which are not fully occupied) will have leasing rates which lead to an affordable fixed cost basis for running a successful business … who knows?
Back to Musk and SC coastal real estate. He did not offer any predictions about SC.

There are plenty of reliable sources for the state of the housing market and commercial real estate. Yahoo must figure that simply mentioning Elon Musk will lead to clicks.
