A counterpoint to your last statement is that if Zillow really knew residential real estate they wouldn’t have had such large losses this quarter. It really calls into question their pricing algorithm, but I give them credit for actually tr

I recommend a novel called Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips that is set on Kamchatka and a good amount in Petropavlovsk. It is very much not a wilderness survival book, but more of a mystery and social commentary book.
