Containment What will happen when Barb dies?

No more sexy barb photos

I'm genuinely curious: is that cropped face actually Chris? Where is that from?

Sorry, but with his diet and lifestyle that mugshot is at best.

Considering the rate at which Chris has been expanding, Is expect him to look something like Jabba the Hutt in 20 years. Except with the tard-horn on top of his bean shaped head.

Will he even be alive in 20 years with his lifestyle? I honestly wonder if he won't have a heart attack in the future.
But I do think that Barb will die first.

I think so, unless tardrage and jerkops get the best of him first.

Chris got good genes for longevity, considering that the ol lumberjack wasn't exactly a perfect example of a healthy lifestyle, but passed 80 despite having numerous operations.

Alright let's see what we've got here. High-functioning jackass, gets government money because his dad was the Original Ween, no history of seizures or other physical disabilities including but not limited to epilepsy or fucked up weight distribution from growth spurts... The probability of Chris living in a group home is low. Homelessness is more likely. He's not like me where "Oh there's a fucking myriad of physical shit too" to fall back on so he either shapes up and stops buying stupid shit or just goes to a fucking shelter while his stuff is sold at an estate sale. 14BC will be gone and renovated (read destroyed, and the earth where it stood salted), and Chris will be forgotten by society unless a friend takes him in.

Well hey now! As long as Chris has an iPhone, he'll be online and make content. (Perhaps he can even find some run down room to rent for 3-400$ a month, once the house has been foreclosed on!)

Otherwise it'll be shelters for Chris, perhaps some panhandling in between whatever emergency-ration of LEGOs Kiwis are willing to send him.

I firmly believe it'll be a second golden era of Chris content, as he'll jump on YouTube and Twitter constantly to report on the latest new indignity he has suffered.

Can you imagine the expression on the poor social workers face, when Chris arrives at some last chance-shelter and proudly announces: "Hello, my name is Christine Weston Chandler original creator of Sonichu the Electric Hedgehog Pokemon, and al- ehm also the town on CWCville where I'm also the ehm-mayor."

Considering how sheltering from everything has reduced him to teetering on the edge of his fantasy world, it might actually also do him some good.

I don't think it will be a golden era so much as a short Indian summer. Chris will be flailing and pitiful, shameless and more pathetic than ever. It'll be funny, but not "haha" funny.

That will probably be the last we ever hear of Chris. I don't mean to say he'll die, but he will definitely disappear from the Internet after Barb dies.

You really think so? Why?
I mean, I'm sure he'll take a break for a few weeks, but permanently? I doubt it.

Chris has some little human contact IRL, a few acquaintances etc.

But what he really craves that those friends can't meet, is asspats for his creativity, as well as a platform that he can rant and rave from, and most importantly: Be understood.

If you think about it, his earliest video isn't about Sonichu. It's the MESSAGE video.

The need for acknowledgement and for understanding wont end when Barb dies. Itll probably get even worse, in fact.

I never meant to say he'd purposefully go quiet, but now that you mention it I don't think he'd ever just quit either. I do however think it will become significantly harder for him to have an online presence when he looses 14BLC that is if he can't use autism as an excuse to keep the things he has, in that case Barb's death will change very little.

Homelessness or incarceration will cut Chris off from the internet indefinitely.

Would he have enough money to pay the mortgage and utilities or will the banks come scoop up the property?

Just wanted throw my two cents in on this since real estate's my bag.

Something very interesting happened after the Crash, in that banks and mortgage companies started to opt for cancelling mortgages and just writing the debt off over the mass foreclosures that got all the media attention around 07-08. Especially with houses of low quality in outer suburban areas -- the value just isn't there to them to expend the effort and legal expense to run a foreclosure just to try to make a buck selling it at the courthouse, especially if they lent (say) $120 grand on a house that today is worth 30, and they don't want to hold it as REO. It is a situation I've run across in my state time and after time. It can be very lucrative to capitalize upon if you have the resources and the know-how. But I digress.

I could very much foresee that happening in Chris' case, depending on who the lender is, how much the balance on the mortgage is, how many other liens are on the title, etc. Of course banks/mortgage companies are going to be the absolute last ones to tell their borrowers that they have done this because for all the lip-service and ass-kissing to the government they did after the Crash, they are still the same old slimeballs. Some actually have the balls to shoehorn this practice into their government settlements by tallying up the total of the debt they're mass-cancelling and calling it simpy "Consumer Assistance" in their court filings, so they can pay a smaller amount of actual cash in the settlements.

It very well could be that Chris either a) needlessly sends payments after the mortgage becomes inactive unbeknownst to him, or b) doesn't pay and just gets to live in the house rent-free for some time (I'm talking years - many have done and do just this).

Of course with interest rates going up and the real estate market, in the aggregate, heating up nationally, this could change soon. But it's still a very real possibility for Chris.

This is very true. There was a really rundown house near me where the owners stopped making payments and they got away with it for three years before the bank moved to take possession. The bank isn't going to be able to get a tremendous amount of money for 14BC so they are unlikely to try and do anything quickly if payments stop. Even if Chris ceases paying the mortgage he is likely to stay in the house for months if not years.

Well, according to Chris's HONEST AND TRUE estimate on Twitter a year ago, their mortgage was 115.000$.

The Chandlers tax estimate from 2016 was 159.000$ and according to Zillows, the house would be worth 176.000$ right now.

(The estimate seems a bit high, especially considering the age and type of house.)

But still, what do you think would happen given the above?

Any financial institution is most likely not going by the tax assessed value. While government assessors do take into account certain aspects of condition in their calculus, it behooves them to err on the higher side, as it will maximize their tax revenue. (Speaking of which, I wonder how they are on their property tax payments. If they're sufficiently far behind, Greene County could repossess and/or sell the property for taxes. I am intimately familiar with how tax sales work in my state, but every state and often different counties within states have different practices.)

Also, it relies a lot more on comps in the neighborhood and local market trends/averages than a brutally honest individual broker or assessor's appraisal would be. When we're assessing properties for our own investments or for clients at my firm, we rely way more on our broker/property manager's opinion of the facts on the ground, driving by the property, observing, etc. Lot of variables go into the "true" (and honest) valuation of real estate in that regard. Tax assessed value is a useful data point but only to an extent.

Another thing I'd like to point out -- personal soapbox here -- is that Zillow's data is often utter shit. They run algorithms that just trawl realtor listing services and things like that and are often very inaccurate on their data due to the sloppy, quantity-over-quality way they gather them. GIGO.

All that said, imagine this scenario. Someone deep within the bowels of the mortgage company that holds the Chandler loan is tasked with writing up the report in advance of their decision on foreclose-or-write off. They type "14 Branchland Court" into Google and, about to finish typing their query with "tax assessment" or "property card" or some such, lo and behold, to their surprise, Google is a couple of steps ahead of him, suggesting some pretty bizarre stuff to him... a smelly, autistic rabbit hole awaits his innocent click... not that he would put any of this stuff in his report, but still, what data he can glean from the condition of this extensively documented property is enough to make his decision for him.

I feel sorry for that employee already.

There's really no point to all these numbers and logistics. We've done it before in deep anticipation for Chris' legal consequences. He got out of all of them with a slap on the wrist or a piss-poor deal for both parties.

When Barb dies he'll probably stay in 14BLC by some miracle of Godbear (but regular fare for Chris) or get some help from Rocky/his church and move into a small apartment by their recommendation. Then Chris would go into overdrive looking for his next fuckmommy since, before, he still had Barb to fall back on, but in this case he'll now be completely on his own with no one to rely on, like a parasite forced off their host.

That's what I'm most looking forward to. The absolute logical conclusion to the Fuckmommy Search Saga.

Anyways, just to finish up the financial side of Barb kicking the bucket...

According to Zillow (take it with some salt GIGO and all) the monthly mortgage is in the neighborhood of 650$ (on a 160-170K house).

With 115K still left on the house, that would mean a monthly mortgage of around 500$.

If Chris's tugboat is 8-900$ there is just no way he can survive on 3-400$ for food and all other bills. And obviously no LEGOs.

I think Chris's only option is to find some little section 8 subsidized apartment somewhere, if he wants to keep his original Sonichu's dry and out of the streets.

His tugboat since Bob died is in the neighborhood of 1400 per month. If you are declared disabled before age 26, and your parent paid into social security, you essentially get 2x SSI.

Fair point. I was sure he was going to default on that court date but Fatty always surprises.

Optimistic here, but the longer he teflons away from these looming problems, the content keeps coming. The Spice must flow.

Damn, he might actually pull off keeping the house then...

He'd have a tight budget, but theoretically he could do it!

But not from you guys. He may not have an online presence, but I totally expect you or any senior trolls to keep tabs on him and report to us directly. Your the pickle puppet master Marvin, you have some plan post Barb as to where we go from here.
