checks news
the politicians (trump, musk) are actively trying to cut social security? Maybe hold off your trigger.
If you added up all the bad things “Landlords” have done, its still not as bad as the CEO of the Health Insurance Company who’ve done the least denials, much less than Brian Thompson.
To re-iterate, the “least evil” health insurance company is still 100x worse than all landlords combined.
If you want to make a real difference, start from the top.
I mean, every year my rent increases and my pay doesn’t (not every year). So every year I have less to spend each month.
The thing that pisses me off is that I’m not Asking to be able to afford a house. I already gave up on that a long time ago. I’m only asking to be able to stay at a place that I’ve been living in for 10 years. And by the way, moving is also super expensive. On top of that, let’s say I did move to a place where the rent is cheaper initially, the rent is gonna be increasing every year there too.
I’m just trying to live a stable, modest life without having a panic attack every time I see her, no tape to my door (which usually signifies a rent increase notification).
I really wish something could be done about this.
I’m fully with you. I just want to have a roof over my head, have some time for hobbies, and be able to afford cheese at the supermarket. Alas, apparently we’re asking for too much! How very selfish of us.
This is where your entitlement kicks in. You think that you should magically get access to high-value, low-supply properties before the people living in the areas you deem “not good enough” for you. You already have more than the people living in these areas, yet you think you deserve even more before them.
Greed. Entitlement. Consumerism. Name three bigger pillars of the modern liberal. (and don’t say empathy, you people care more about your money and social status than actually helping others.)
And you’re going to get mad at anyone who calls it out.
Omg wow ty for explaining basic economics to me!! Where ever would a poor little girlie like me be without your words of wisdom! You’re so right tho, I’m soooo entitled!!! Can you IMAGINE wanting a place to sleep and eat?! The fucking audacity of it.
Great advice btw all the povos struggling to make ends meet should use the savings they don’t have to quit their jobs in the city and move to a “town of 3000” where they can be jobless, without a support network (because poor people famously don’t have dependants and can just fuck off anytime) AND be poor!! Fantastic advice king.
Also empathy is woke and real men would rather kill themselves than ask for help 🥰 that sound about right to u?
See, that’s the problem. You people think it’s all-or-nothing. You never consider those who have less and feel like you should get more before they get more.
The mere idea of spreading out and improving areas to increase the supply of high quality living spaces is not something you would support. You only support the idea of building up, not out.
If that town of 3000 isn’t “good enough” for you, then why should you get more before them? Huh? What are you doing that makes you worthy of it? Oh yeah, that’s your entitlement kicking in. Thanks for proving me right.
You’re part of the problem. And you get mad at me for calling you out on it.
The real problem is you reduce individuals that don’t share your values to “you people”. You accuse me of not seeing nuance, but turn around and do the same yourself.
I would also like to add that I earn above a minimum wage. It’s by no means a stellar income, but it’s decent. On top of that, live with my mom, so we split the rent!
And somehow I’m here stressing over whether I’ll be able to afford my place of residence a few years from now. This is not okay. I really want there to be some change, but I don’t know what can be done.
I can’t afford a down payment. You can’t buy a decent house in Cali for less than a mil.
I get it. Paying rent sucks (with the advantage of not having to pay your repairs). But I can’t afford a house at this point. Just can’t afford to save enough money. So although I know it’s more optimal, I’m okay with paying rent in the current market. I just can’t deal with the constant increases.
I think you get my point though. Paying rent is not optimal, but a person with a decent job should be able to afford it.
While I don’t disagree with what you’re trying to say, I don’t think it’s hard to understand what I’m getting at either.
If only a hero could rise up…

You want to Luigi the Landlords?
Well it depends.

Would you be willing to do it in a town of 3,000 people?
If you have to move to bumfuck nowhere to afford food and housing, the system isn’t working
Have you heard of supply and demand?

Sigh. This is part of the problem. We need to value ownership more than renting.
