Adding Hunter’s total to the other Republican’s total comes to 7,167.

Adding Simien’s total to the Democrat and the other Independent totals comes to 6,955.

That’s a 212 vote difference. Razor thin.
Paging stout for his take and prediction - and very curious of the other LC area posters’ thoughts too

Whatever you think of Lake Charles, this will be a huge impact on the city’s downtown look. I guess it was either in too bad of condition to fix, or it didn’t make sense to economically.

I don't know how people are making buys like these, or why, unless they are just paying cash. It seems like there has to be a reckoning coming. The rates of increase in condo values in the AL/FL gulf coast do not seem sustainable.

I’m hoping for a buyers market too. It just doesn’t seem feasible, or wise even if paying cash. Is there an influx of California buyers?

anc, based on those figures it doesn’t seem remotely possible for someone buying the same unit for $1.5M to rent and cover their costs. Do you think things are maxing out there (in GS/OB) or will continue to appreciate?

Gulf Shores/Orange Beach condos

I'm wondering for those of you who own a beach condo in Gulf Shores or Orange Beach, how the condo market is doing and how much insurance and assessments/maintenance and HOA fees are increasing and whether it's worth your while. From an outsider's perspective, the entry cost has considerably increased to where it appears like it is not a worthwhile pursuit, even if you're only wanting for the unit to pay for itself through rentals without really profiting from it. Looking for honest takes and insight, and maybe thoughts on the direction of the market over the short term future. Thanks all.
