  • No, I would rather live the way I have lived for decades. In a decent old home on either a 1.8 acre plot of land, or a 150 acre plot 500 yards from the nearest house that isnt visible from my yard. With an electric vehicle that is powered by solar. Living 2 miles from where i work but 12 miles from the nearest town. Earning very little money but spending it wisely. Getting clothing from giveaways/garage sales/second hand stores, buying everything i can second hand, growing as much food as possible.

    Apartments are small, they arent yours so you dont get to remodel them, they are second hand so they come with problems. You have people living above/below/on either side of you, so you habe to deal with them being loud and you dont get to be loud. If your neighbors get roaches, you get them too. If you live on the basement floor, the plumbing is always crap. You cant fix anything or higher plumbers and the owner always takes forever to hire repair-people and then hires amatures. You have to worry about porch pirates eith mail, you habe to worry about only having 1-2 parking spots for you and any guests. You cant have guests for more than a few days at a time if at all, you have to pay extra for pets and get a limited number of them. You dont get to have a yard/garden/garage/basement(for tornado avoidance). An apartment 1/3rd the size of my small house costs 3×-6× more than the monthly mortgage payment. So its worse in everyday except proximity to the city which is either ideal or awful depending on personal preference. And yet it costs significantly more to not even own it. Even if you spend 30 years paying a mortgage, when you are old or when you die, you can leave it to family. You spend 30 years paying rent and you dont own anything as a result. Owning a home vs. Renting an apartment is not even a competition.






  • Woke is the term xenophobic asshats use for anything that threatens to upset their status quo of racist, bigoted, misogynistic nonsense. “I want to be in power, but I have competition. But if I convince the whole world that only straight, white, married men can be in power, I will have less competition to be in power.” Thats Classic Woke-a-cola.
