    I’m glad you made with though.

    Funny my own depression didn’t really kick up until my living conditions got better

    I’ve been working so hard and long to survive and provide that I didn’t have time to think about myself.

    Now I’m older and better off. Got time to breathe, maybe get a hobby. Then i look back at my life. To see many years wasted. No hobbies. No vacations. No friends.

    I was just a drone for fucking decades.

    Funny how bad the system is engineered for the lower caste. Makes me feel like cattle for the machine to feed the billionaires.

    If I had the basic needs of survival to not struggle how much more would I have lived life instead of just survived it?










  • I believe a single person having two or even three properties isn’t an issue. As long as you’re a fair and honest landlord. Owning isn’t for everyone. Renting is a viable option for many people. Especially if someone is going to live somewhere for only around a year.

    There are entire corporations that revolve around slumlording. High rents, poor maintenance, shitty lease terms with hidden fees, kicking out low income renters to raise rates for new tenants, leaving units empty when there are lots of homeless, etc.

    John Oliver did a nice episode about these types of slumlords. THESE are the issue. Career landlords. For people owning more than 2 homes if we heavily taxed/fined (like a years worth of rent) empty units (defined as not rented for 4 months out of the year) this would be a start to fix the housing crisis.
