Oh! I forgot some additional notes:
- utilities are probably not included! I live in a state with really cold winters and humid as fuck summers. Lol
- Oh what if you get sick or injured? Shitty state health insurance won't do much so that costs $$$$

@ArdanianRight Pre-pandemic a 1 bedroom apartment was 350~400$ (depending on what part of the building, etc.) Now it's 600$. Keep in mind that there's artificial staffing shortages all over the damn place and good luck getting a job that will pay for that (lol, you'll need 2 or 3). @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8 @wgiwf

@cosmo @wgiwf @ferrarilegends @n8 @orcbuddy Isn't BlackRock deliberately fucking with the housing market to make it impossible for normal people to own homes? Driving up the cost of home ownership to drive people into a dependent renter subclass is the plan.

@ArdanianRight Yes. I'm 98% sure they've infested this area. It's not because I don't want to move out, it's just becoming more and more impossible every year. @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8 @wgiwf

@cosmo I'm not the biggest fan of being out in nature most of the year (allergies are hell) but I'll fight like mad to keep it pretty. I like parks and nature and all that pretty shit. The fact that giving a shit about the environment is political is a disgrace — we don't own this planet, we borrow it from future generations. @ArdanianRight @ferrarilegends @n8

@cosmo If the housing market collapses (again) then I REALLY won't be able to rent an apartment or buy a house. @ArdanianRight @ferrarilegends @n8 @wgiwf

@wgiwf Even in my area apartments are starting to get stupid expensive and people who need roommates are all either boomers or just straight up awful people. Rent has doubled in only 5 years. @ArdanianRight @cosmo @ferrarilegends @n8

@cosmo I hate to sound like a fucking tree hugging faggot but in terms of environmental responsibility, all of this housing develop is unsustianable. @ArdanianRight @ferrarilegends @n8

@ArdanianRight Everyone thinks about kids or family for this scenario, which is important but there's another thing that isn't thought about that much. What if someone gets injured or sick? While you'd like to stay home with them it's not always realistic, if you had family living with you you can be assured that while /you/ may not be the one looking after them right now, someone close to you (mom, dad, aunt, etc) is. @ferrarilegends @n8

I love this cute fluffy domestic gay thing and I want more of it so damn much.

@KarlDahl Protests are fine if you're left wing apparently

@KarlDahl Politicians should fear those they represent. It's funny how the so-called left disagreed with this move when it's also a good chunk of their praxis.

@Rhodesian_YuKari I just want a place that's comfy for my future husband and I. It's really simple yet for some fucking reason the Jews decide I can't have that. I'm not a difficult man to please, I just want to be comfortable. It's why I hate the boomer "money can't buy happiness" phrase.

I don't want a solid gold Ducati, I want a stable job where I can support myself and my partner on a reasonable work life balance and live a decently normal life.
@ferrarilegends @n8

Instead of mocking people for living in their parent's basement, consider that the economy and housing market are shitty and perhaps that they can't afford anywhere else in this fucking economy.

For example: you know what? I could afford a place to live, but I couldn't afford that AND things like ya know... food

@Rhodesian_YuKari With the housing market as fucked as it is, this may become something America has to deal with. It's also why my buddy was shocked that my parents charge me rent for living at home (housing market is fucked here, rental market even worse)

"yeah so they're charging me rent?"
"White people do that?"
@ferrarilegends @n8

@ferrarilegends I had to explain to someone that this is why "rich people houses" are traditionally very huge. You had your family, probably your spouse's family as well. If you needed them, servants and maybe their families. So you had a shit ton of people and a 5 bedroom house won't cut it.

People are mocking young Americans for living at home but to Southern Europeans, most Asians and Arabs that's completely normal. The issue isn't that we're "childish" the economy just fucking sucks.
@n8

@ferrarilegends I don't really want kids of my own, it's not something I feel right about. *However* you bet your ass I'll be the cool uncle with a good apartment and cool stuff to do. @n8

@ferrarilegends It's also worth noting how annoyingly narrow the definition of family is in the USA. In the Middle East and Asia "family" is broad as fuck. In the USA they have to preface with "extended family" if it's not your immediate family which is dumb. @n8
