A $675k, 2048 sf property in Leander, TX isn't much. With 3 acres, it must be on the outskirts, NW of the town. The way in which Leander is growing (It forms a triangle with Round Rock, home of Dell Computers is to the East and Georgetown to the NE) making that a very good purchase for property appreciation. In 2-3 years that could easily be $1 million+, even if you do a tear-down and then subdivide the 3 acres into a series of 1/4 acre lots.

One article I read stated Tulsi made her money in real estate deals on Oahu. Disingenuous for her to then go on a talk program and say she can’t afford a house in Hawaii. On two incomes with her husband.
I spoke with someone last week who has a regular middle class job, and she told me about the four or five houses she owns. I lost track of the number during our conversation. She wasn’t bragging, we were just discussing East Hawaii neighborhoods.

In my opinion she was brave yet stupid to go on the show. Yes, she remained calm under pressure. No, she did not say anything of substance, constantly evaded Maher's questions and didn't receive any applause from the audience.

Thats a good point DF. Other than the obligatory introduction applause, nothing she really said got very little if any audience agreement.
And in as much as I wish Bill had pressed her more on her memorized talking point nonsense narrative when, as DF stated, she evaded the question, there were several instances of Bill just cutting her off and more or less saying to the effect of "NO - not going there"
And any news reporting of her annihilating (or the like) Bill and his other guest Chris Matthews, the reality would be that's upside down and backwards as to the truth.

The former reality game show host has been teasing, stretching out the announcement of a running mate (running from him at some point) for some time now, and hard as she tried, former fake Democrat Tulsi Gabbard was not on the list. Is that crying? There’s no crying from rejection deep in the heat of Texas.

former fake Democrat
I didn't realize she left the party. Here are her excuses for why, in her own words:
I love our country. Our God-given rights of freedom, life, and liberty enshrined in our Constitution and Bill of Rights are my inspiration. I answered the call to duty and took an oath, dedicating my life to supporting and defending those freedoms, both in uniform and in public office.
Growing up in Hawaii gave me a special appreciation of our home, water, and precious natural resources. So when I was 21 years old I decided to run for Hawaii State House so that I could be in a position to protect our environment. I wasn’t politically affiliated before that, but as I was about to file my election papers, I had to choose which party to affiliate with. (continued)

OK. I read her reasoning.
What I take from it is two fold:
1. Extreme delusional thoughts not based upon any reality driven evidence.
2. What could be considered a Psychology 101 Textbook definition of Projection.
At any event, while at the moment her relevancy seems a little diminished by not being on the short list of a running mate, she may, maybe with a little luck become relevant again should American voters sign their own death warrant this November.
A personal suggestion I would make to her directly, especially after seeing her performance on the Bill Maher show, is to learn how to contort your face into being believable when your mouth is spewing lie after lie.

seeing her performance
I've never really paid attention and didn't see the show but I just found this video from a couple of days ago and you are right, she is pretty stiff.

Finally, she gets the Russian treatment.

Tuesday night, while self-styled Democratic nominee Kamala Harris pledged to defend “freedom, compassion, and the rule of law” to cheers in Philadelphia, Hawaii’s Tulsi Gabbard described being tracked by teams of government agents in a surveillance regime more reminiscent of East Germany than a free country. Whistleblowing Air Marshals [color=var(--print_on_web_bg_color, var(--color-fg-primary))]told [color=var(--print_on_web_bg_color, var(--color-fg-primary))]Uncover DC[/color] Gabbard was singled out as a terror threat under the so-called “Quiet Skies” program, and the former presidential candidate says she noticed.[/color]
“The whistleblowers’ account matches my experience,” says Gabbard. “Everything lines up to the day.”
This story began two weeks ago, when the former Hawaii congresswoman returned home after a short trip abroad. In airport after airport, she and her husband Abraham Williams encountered obstacles. First on a flight from Rome to Dallas, then a connecting flight to Austin, and later on different flights for both to cities like Nashville, Orlando, and Atlanta, their boarding passes were marked with the “[color=var(--print_on_web_bg_color, var(--color-fg-primary))]SSSS” designation, which stands for “Secondary Security Screening Selection.” The “Quad-S” marker is often a sign the traveler has been put on a threat list, and Gabbard and Williams were forced into extensive “random” searches lasting as long as 45 minutes.[/color]
“It happened every time I boarded,” says Gabbard. The Iraq war veteran and current Army reservist tends to pack light, but no matter.
I wish you all the best.

Here she is today complaining about being put on the terror watch-list. Amazing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09eVb2eomKo
