  I've been outbid for a few apartments in St Kilda. I just want a shitty studio to call my own AND live in, I'm not reaching for the moon here. But the return for airBnB is better than renting them so investors have more money to outbid me. Now the bottom price for the area is beyond my means. Maybe I should just start squatting in AirBNBs until they send the jacks round to boot me out.

  I haven't been in ages. Fortunately for me, Aldi and the grocer/butcher seem to have everything I need.

  Also postal voting. Muricans need time off work and if they're in a vote suppressed area might have to queue for many hours.

  I've seen parking spaces in the city going cheap, I was wondering how they'd feel about buying a space to live in my van there? Spend my day at the gym or library, pop by at night to sleep in the van.

  Money for home owners who can afford it. It's a good idea but it doesn't help the bottom rung very much.
