I remember that. So irritating how the true believers thought no one should have a cold anymore.

I actually tried taking vitamin C but - nada.

Naw - suits exactly

Wait - we're talking about home ownership vs renting, now your on about this as if it's either ownership or homelessness??

You're just ranting. And you get no empathy Brownie points for saying all that. Done with you.

Yep.

I mean, I had the guy pegged as a narcissist bully when he was doing The Apprentice.

But if, say, Mitt Romney had been said to be a great danger to the nation, who's going to listen to that about Trump?

Mixed feelings on this.

Indeed, disadvantaged folks develop a radar for malign intent in general, including an authoritarian personality.

But among those, activists have long outworn words like "fascist" on more mundane things they oppose.

Dunno but its good news
December 21, 2025 at 1:05 AM
No "they" didn't.
December 21, 2025 at 12:50 AM
Sorry.
December 21, 2025 at 12:49 AM
Hear hear.

Trump just wanted to be the founder of something like that. That's the only reason.

Didn't buy a house until I was 39.

Do you think they should be issued out?
December 21, 2025 at 12:26 AM
Yes.

Not in NYC

He's civvie now what's he saluting for?
December 20, 2025 at 8:16 PM
Wow. That's way too frugal. Sorry

Im pretty sure 1 bd apartments are oversubscribed anyway. Those are the ones young people and low income aren't finding enough of.

Boomers should downsize into what, tho? Some could get out of those McMansions, but other than that we're mainly in 3bd ranches and capes. We're all supposed to go to 1bd rentals? And "senior living" is mostly high end

The circle of life will take care of this problem over time. Just a decade

A) will fix itself. I do think some of the frustration is about being behind a big demographic bulge

B) we can work on. We have decades now of restrictive zoning and also out-of-whack expectations of family needs.

And using Carvana!

Not bargains if you turn your nose up at 7 yr old cars of reliable brands.
December 20, 2025 at 5:47 PM
A 7 year old Subuaru is definitely a reliable car.

I traded in my 2007 RAV just last year.

Good grief, check your expectations.
December 20, 2025 at 5:24 PM
You live alone?
December 20, 2025 at 5:20 PM
Most people in NYC expect to always rent. Not everyone has to own.
