Ants who no longer had to live near their employers escaped Grasshopper urbanity at its ugliest \u2013 most of them never to return.<\/p>\n<p>As if anyone needed proof of this \u2013 the truth, by now, is what no one dares to talk about \u2013 the real estate market is settling down <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ammoland.com\/2021\/07\/nics-data-gun-sales-drop-significantly-in-june-of-2021\/#axzz715VK4A7W\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">just as gun sales are doing the same.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>There is no election this year, so the remaining rioting is random dingleberrys, operating without political cover or financial support from the Democratic party. The heat is off in the rioted cities, and hence real estate and firearms sales are calming down.<\/p>\n<p>This is even more obvious to Redfin, but they can&#8217;t tell the truth.
