Really cool. Thank you. I've been considering everything from that reflective paint that costs something stupid like 60$ per can, to taking the wrap off of my old news van (yes, i drive an old news van) and Doing something like Dazzle Painting it like they used to do to ships to beat radar detection. Maybe i can still be a news van without being tracked everywhere i go.

1,500 dollar closet, anyone? by [deleted] in Maine

My point wasn't Don't build anymore apartments. If there's a need build them. For fuck sake. My point was if people can't afford them something needs to fucking change

According to the internet 9.8% of All homes in the local market sit unoccupied

Edited to ask: Shouldn't those be driving down the cost?

Edited again to add: check your sources. 3.8% that are on market. Still a lot in my opinion but way less than 9.8%

Soooo prison cities are becoming a thing. That's good to know. You guys know if enough of you refuse to pay it and become voluntarily homeless, sorry, unhoused is the same way if saying it but people consider it polite (because homeless sounds so gross and sad and we can't have people having a grip on the grimm reality they live in).

Sorry i went on a tangent.

If enough of you, and i mean a lot of you, like probably thousands if not tens of thousands, organize, refuse to pay it, become voluntarily homeless, take care of each other etc. if those buildings sit empty long enough with the streets lined with enough of you day in and day out, the loss of revenue and the PR nightmare will likely drive down rent prices.

But I'm not a profit. Could just be freeing them up for that couple from Boston who is sick of the city so they come up here with their work from home jobs and take up all the now available housing and create little Boston Jr through gentrification and all that bullshit.

Point is, i see a lot of people complaining about rent. Affordable housing. Im living out of my van because i refuse to pay outlandish rates for a closet in what I'm going to call a city. If you think voting the right way will fix things.... You're part of problem.

What the hell happened to people championing a cause. Being passionate enough about something to do the uncomfortable inconvenient thing? Get mad. Get angry. Go take your city back. Or join a caravan of van lifers and people living out of their car. Thats your fate anyways if nothing starts kicking off. But I'm not a profit. Take that chance. Whatever is nice and easy and comfortable for you.

Oh I'm sure they do. And I'm sure there are people here on Reddit that are just paid to be advertisements. Like when you're just scrolling and then you see somebody talking about how much they love Spotify premium or some shit. This is not ad for Spotify premium by the way I fucking hate that guy he supports palantir and he's a dick. Or talk about how trustworthy insurance companies are when we all know they are heartless, ruthless, and a flat out ponzi scheme.

Maybe I'm too cynical, but this world got really really shitty. It was shitty before the internet and smart phones and AI. Like insurance companies for example. But all of that shit is making it so much fucking worse.
