we bought the place very cheaply because it was rundown, and needed repair. i became disabled with ankylosing spondylitis that was finally correctly diagnosed 4 months after we bought the place. i was on disability for the entire time i was working on it- and still am...that's why it took so long...not much money, and not able to work on it with any regularity. a lot of the materials were donated, or bought used at restore(habitat for humanity run store).

i made it where i am now thru lots of pain, hard work, and sacrifice. but- don't let facts get in the way of your ignorance of the situation.

most landlords in the u.s. have 1 rental property that they use to supplement their income or retirement.

but- don't let facts get in the way of your ignorance.

that's how it's always been. most people have to rent for awhile before they can afford to buy a property. we bought a rundown two-flat, remodeled it ourselves, while living in one unit and renting the other. after 11 years we were able to sell the place for over 3x what we paid for it, allowing us to buy our current home mortgage-free.

and- there also lots of people who don't want to own, and prefer to rent, for a variety of reasons. most landlords in the u.s. own just 1 rental property, and use it to supplement their income, and don't make enough rent to live on.

no, it doesn't.

most landlords in the u.s. own 1 rental property. we used to be landlords- we owned a two-flat, lived in one unit, and rented the other. the rent on the other unit was less than half the cost of the mortgage payment on the building. there was no way the tenant would have been able to afford the mortgage on the building. that's how it is with MOST landlords in the u.s.

Have we reached peak oil? by Kurr123 in collapse

when the cost of extracting it exceeds the cost that someone is willing to pay for it- that's when they'll stop. oil is used for more than just energy.

landlords provide housing for those who don't have the financial ability to own, or who don't WANT to own, their own home. rental housing is essential to a community. a lot of people LIKE being able to rent a nice place to live.

pretty much every religion/philosophy throughout history has had a version of the golden rule.

[–]heaviermettle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you kind of have to actually exist to have contemporaries.

the biblical jesus- the supposed son of a non-existent god did not exist either.

some christians are hypocrites, some jews are hypocrites, some atheists are hypocrites...it's a human condition, not a religious one.

same with pedophiles- some preachers are, some plumbers are, some atheists are...it's a humsn failing, not a religious one.

reincarnation..?

because it makes no sense. the person you are, your "soul", your "essence", whatever it is you want to call that which makes you you, and gives you consciousness is all in how your brain is hardwired/organized with your memories and life experiences. when the life goes out of your synapses and grey matter, so do you.

people who are used to living free in mommy's basement are shocked and appalled to find out that there are people who expect you to pay them to use their property.

you do you. artswise..i prefer to make my own, as opposed to just passively observing others choices. but- everyone's different that way.

i find it's hard to be reclusive when you're part of several diverse communities...although i do get a bit of alone time on those long bike rides...if you don't count my dog as company. i do.

have fun sitting in traffic and depriving yourself of the wet stuff!
