    From the comments:

    Two Trump supports in a bar. “Did you hear about the fire at the house of that judge that ruled against the boss?”

    “Shhh - it’s tomorrow!”

      Multiple potential reasons for the property value and ownership.

      Waterfront property is $$$, and $1.6m isn’t a surprising number, in fact it’s probably lower than a lot of places.

      It could have been a family property. That’s pretty common.

      Bought low a long time ago.

      Inheritance money.

      Spouse has a good paying job.

      Judge was a highly paid defense attorney before becoming a judge.

      And finally, I have no idea, do judges get paid a shitton?

    I feel the US is hitting boiling point and things are going to go entirely off the rails very soon. Canada will probably need to set up refugee and asylum centres.

      Thats one of the ‘good’ endings. This could also be part of the beginning of a twenty year period of authoritarianism with little resistance.

    I would like to think that people who frequent this community are not the type to wildly speculate until basic facts are available.

    I’d like to think that, but it’s wrong.
