My rent went up $800 in one year! And because it was a two year lease it was justified. After living in CA my whole life and renting for decades, I had to move as simply couldn't afford it. Had I not had family to help me get out, I suppose I'd be homeless or have to squat. Every time I made more money, rent and cost of living took more. Never had a rich family member die and leave me money to buy a house. Housing shouldn't be a money making scheme for those who already have money. I feel like it should be pretty simple to see it's wrong.
People would say, "you just have to save up for it." Save what?!
"Housing shouldn’t be a money making scheme for those who already have money."
Found the communist! What even is life for if I can't exploit literally everything around me to make even more money that I definitely don't need because I already own a ton of shit!?
It's what God™ intended! It's literally in the Bible, Posteriorface 24:7 says "The Lord looked down on creation and spoke to man these words: Hey fuck-o, theres a plot of land left you didn't buy or take from the natives. I'm sending your neighbors to stone you to death now. Get thy shit together, Dolla dolla bills y'all."
It's like no one reads the Bible anymore...
Rule of Acquisition #13: Anything worth doing is worth doing for money.
"save what?"
Thank you! The fact that I have my late grandfather's estate to fall back on to be able to have my mother buy a house that I might be able to inherit is both incredibly lucky for me AND incredibly depressing.
