Wow a massive ass McMansion with no thought placed into the architecture. That tracks

Most people use this trick when they have friends or family and the rental is a mutually beneficial situation. but when you get into larger homes and commercial redesignation, we’ve turned a lot of old mansions and warehouses into 4+ unit condos.

Varies by town ordinance; but if it’s within standards usually you can get a deed for each unit and it becomes a condo association basically. Part of the zoning reforms we are fighting for.

Also you could still rent a house back in 2008 for like $400-$1000 so the living with the parents thing wasn’t a necessity back then. We’d have 4 dudes in a 2 bedroom housing paying 2-$300 a month

Right, but you’d try to find a distressed duplex for the same price as a single family. If you’re gonna risk buying a shitter and fixing it, might as well get an additional income.

Yea I hope I put enough emphasis on the 2008 crash being responsible for his luck. I think he paid around $100,000 for a condo in California.
I grew weed for 20 years which was the only way I got on the housing ladder at 26. I’ve been forced to downsize already but haven’t fallen off yet

I think the non-college route yielded better than college for my age cohort. First dude I knew who bought a house was like 19 and he’d been working at Costco for 4+ years. 2008 happened and suddenly this young man had a stable job and savings and looked great on paper 🥲

No…. It’s substantially worse in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, UK, umm I’m sure more but I read about theirs most.
- Comment on We shouldn't have to go to college in order to afford a house by 30. 4 days ago:
That’s probably the best strategy. Or buying a duplex and renting half of it. Either way now-a-days in America you gotta be willing to put ALOT of sweat equity in the get a shelter

But not for trains or public transit??

It’s the covid checks versus the infrastructure bill lmao. Should we give everyone $1200 or like build roads that everyone uses. Clearly one has long term economic impacts and one has short term economic impacts.
Same with how you acquire the money. Raising annual taxes vs civil forfeiture. All this shit is just a distraction from turning the tax system upside down and not relying on the poor/middle class to fund profits for the .01%
- Comment on Elon Musk says Optimus will 'eliminate poverty' in speech after his $1 trillion pay package was approved 1 week ago:
I mean yes if we as individuals go out and spend said money immediately on food it’s not going to last long. But if a village put their $1200 together to build critical infrastructure they could make life much better with their share. It’s like a government spending program or something!

- Comment on Assassin's Creed is a "forever brand" because Ubisoft supported huge risks with it, ex director says: "Whereas, say, EA, you get these awful execs and they never made games and they came from toothpaste companies" 1 week ago:
Bro we were climbing towers in Zelda for the thing in 1997.

I feel like Nintendo 64 was the real OG adapter of open world RPGs. The success of Mario 64 and legend of Zelda had already proven the genre wildly profitable

Seriously though… what about a Democrat voter who is gay, but works for a Palantir founder because it makes the most money? What about people who are opposed in votes and ideology but complicit in actions? What of the millions of well off, well educated democrats who won’t sacrifice anything to oppose the fascists? I honestly hold them complicit as well. Fascism is totally fine as long as their QoL isn’t diminished. What do we do to convince those people? The ones who vote status quo while it gets worse every year? The slow enablers of fascism?

That was the early America I grew up in. We were taught to value the garbage man. We were taught to value anyone contributing to society. We were also taught to contribute to society. We had the history channel and uniform education where we all agreed on what happened in the past. We had media that would highlight noteable people and positive events in communities. You used to get the local TV spotlight by being a good person not a bad person. Anyway, the list could go on, but we could make America great again by bringing back some of the more socialist policies and educational practices that we had not even 20-30 years ago. We’ve been a socialist country since we decided public education for all and created social security. You don’t have to keep ramming the division part dude. You can just advocate for popular socialist policies. It’s way easier. Medicare for all. Improve public education, increase access to information, restore local media.
Seriously, a lot of you leftists are more detrimental to socialist policies than any of the right wing. Think about how you advocate. The only difference between capitalism and socialism is how we allocate the capital and align it with social values.

There is a social media aspect to this. We have amplified the worst behaviors and reenforced them with monetary gains. We broke the incentive structure in America where being a doctor was the highest calling. The media is also incentivized to spew division, we’ve basically made money the greatest reward in society, and only award it to the worst people. Its a really effective way to skew the sociopathic tendencies of the masses.

It’s not just the city. I’ve moved to two small villages that are louder and more obnoxious than the city. It’s our culture and the devaluation of humanity.

There was no civil rights movement and never was. Woman’s suffrage and workers rights never happened either. The collective spirit of this people is white Christian and always has been. You sound like a good maga boi

The epstien files is a distraction from dismantling our constitutional law. What laws are you going to try the pedos under? Which courts do you plan on using? You see where I’m going with this? We all know who’s on the list who’s gonna hold them accountable? No one, thus it’s a stupid distraction.
