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.

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

Observer of history states historical observances.

And there lies the real problem, the handing down of large sums of money. Entrenched wealth and power of an aristocracy. It destroys the meritocracy and the desire to progress society. My grandpa taught me a valuable lesson by giving all his money away. He paid for school, camp, life skills and that was it. True believer in the American dream having secured it for himself. I often wonder what he would think about the current state of the economy. As well as how I would interpret the state of the economy, if I wasn’t living in utter fucking poverty. I would not have the same attachment to social issues if I wasn’t front lines on the war against the poor.

It’s also just not a huge wealth disparity. Like having 5-10x more than the average is more tolerable than having 10,000x more than the average. if someone drove a car that was worth 10x more than mine, it would be a new Honda. If they had a house 5x larger it would be a large family home. This actually adjusts to the needs of society.

Do I think policing in the USA is terrorism? Why yes I do! Would you like some recent or historical actions?

And all I originally implied is that: I find this to be ineffective at driving a change in perspective to the people who are ignorant of the issue.

Oh there’s plenty of testimony out there. You must not remember the trump administration deleting it a few months back

Did you really need to watch a documentary to understand what was happening to kidnapped children from Russian war zones? The previous history wasn’t good enough evidence I guess. O well, that war made a great Republican talking point and presidential platform! Those kids are the acceptable losses to election victories here in the USA ❤️

My brother in Christ I gazed upon the social media and turned away! Those individuals can too. Social media is just tapping into those human desires we try to abandon.

My brother in Christ, what do you think social media does to our children? Does social media not represent them doing something insane on the Internet for financial gain and notoriety? Are these not the two most cherished qualities in our society? Of course it’s the company’s fault and of course they’re breaking the law. But it doesn’t matter if there’s no enforcement, it doesn’t matter if no one understands or respects the law.

A class war is just a cute thing the commies say. I’m just talking about civil disorder that comes with hungry people who can’t feed themselves. I’m not really talking about eating the rich. I’m talking about mass starvation across this country and complete breaking down of society. Anyone will look rich to a man who can’t afford food and clean water.

My friend. Any sane country should be worried about disenfranchising or starving a large portion of the population(>20%). I’m not going to be angry mobbing anyone. I’ll happily point the mob in the right direction tho ❤️ ya I would start focusing on voting on policy instead of party. I would figure out how to get the school lunches back on the tables. The food banks filled back up, the government oversight committees that protect citizens and consumers??? I wouldn’t sit around until regions have poisoned water supplies and you need nestle bottled water to survive? I would vote to stop accelerating these processes because it’s really fucking dangerous to everyone in the world.

No I’m pointing out that OP I was responding too people doesn’t understand the local economy’s of this nation. Maine had lots of seasonal work, lots of part time work, and lots of bad jobs. Could you please help by finding me a job that pays more than 20k a year??? In Maine???
