How do I handle it? Well I start by breaking down and crying a few times with a few extra doses off anxiety.

Ah well. Gotta die some how

For the poors anyway

Democracy is broken

Democracy has always been an illusion my dude.

No shit. Who do you think is donating to Trump?

I’m in the us. Must be a west coast thing.

Thank fuck I haven’t heard of a single one of those stores and have never shopped in them

Yes

😊

You gotta learn how to stretch that dough out my man.

No.

Do you think the reason there is a housing shortage is because there isn’t enough houses?

Listen I know that SEEMS logical, but it isn’t in this case.

The reason for the housing shortage in America isn’t because there isn’t enough houses to go around.

To understand the housing crisis you have to understand how investments work. Investment and financial institutions are allowed to purchase homes for investment reasons. There is no limit to their greed. They buy out entire neighborhoods and artificially keep surrounding prices high. This props up the rest of the market. It keeps rental prices high and it keeps home purchases high.

The reason building new homes doesn’t work is because these investment firms will gobble up these homes. They won’t go to the people you want them to go to. This will only make the problem worse.

If you want affordable housing you need to go after the investment firms. Take away their ability to buy homes for the sake of “investing”. They are single handedly the reason for the insane home prices and nothing will change as long as they are allowed to sit on empty homes for eternity.

Let me come at you in a slightly different angle. There is a massive amount of empty homes in the USA. These empty homes are owned by the investment firms, not to sell or rent out, but to keep prices artificially high. The point is the homes are there. We don’t need more. We just need to pry them out of the hands of the monopolies. More empty homes won’t solve this problem. Removing investments from this will solve the problem.

That legit looks disgusting. I would refuse to eat such abomination

I agree except the part about revolution. There was no revolution my friend. Just a temporary protest that didn’t accomplish anything.

Sounds like a you problem

You have it all wrong. Housing is expensive because investment firms are allowed to buy up entire neighborhoods thus slashing supply.

Building new homes doesn’t change the equation as these same investment firms are buying up new homes as well.

They control the market because they own the majority of it. They prop up home prices and rental prices. They’ll sit on empty homes just to maintain said control.

If you want anything to change the first step is stopping companies from investing in homes.

Any other fight is pointless.

I couldn’t give a single fuck about 4k

Yes because their profession is garbage.

But they don’t

Or if you’re like my neighbor you live in a town house and never tow anything and never use the bed for anything.

Cops are garbage
