Our realtor told us that our house in the condition we bought it would sell for 80k more than we paid for it and that's without the stuff we've done to it. Others have said that with upgrades we might get 150k more for it. We did almost all the work ourselves and for great deals on materials. It's also cheaper than renting.

It super sucks that many of you are priced out now but sorry owning a detached house rules and the government is going to throw everyone but the filthy rich under the bus to protect home owners.

I'm so glad we bought when we did.

The 2008 crash is proof that the government is more than willing to throw homeowners under the bus, and the current issue with investors taking over the market is largely coming at the expense of homeowners with future homeowners simply being collateral damage.

When climate change starts ruining property values in, oh, any day now, people who actually own their homes to live in them will be the ones to pay the price. Don't think for a second that the government has any real interest in homeowners aside from lip service.

Let's not forget that the entire country of El Salvador is getting in on the Tether scam. For those unaware El Salvador recently passed a law making bitcoin legal tender, which on its own is extremely stupid for a country where only 45 percent of people have internet access.

But it gets stupider.

Because 1/4 of El Salvadorans work abroad in the U.S. and remittance back to the U.S. constitutes a $5.6 billion flow of money, it's as much as their countries entire net exports. The government is teaming up with a firm called Strike to make it so these remittances get converted to Tether on their way back, presumably so they can skim real dollars off the top to fund yachts and other corrupt government official nonsense. So instead of having dollars these unbanked poor people now have useless digital dollar substitutes while the government legally absconds with their cash. If all of this sounds absurdly stupid, that's because it is.

That's because bitcoin stopped going falling down so hard.

Tether was only interesting in relation to bitcoin and some kind of magical floor of eighteen thousand where the whole thing falls apart.

They kind of got thrown under the bus. Frankly I bet a lot of the issue was d.c. not understanding the difference between judicial and non judicial states and just what that meant.

But all the mandated workout options they pushed for were super useless technocratic poo poo that simultaneously gave homeowners a ton more time to stay in their houses. the average time in the backlogged judicial states from default to eviction was 5 years, and then tenants got a federal mandated 90 day waiting period before an eviction case could even start

It was a giant mess of perverse incentives on all sides , of course the banks cheated as much as they could with the whole robo signing poo poo let alone outright fraud by law firms.

But CARES did a ton for homeowners compared to 08 so it really does seem like d.c. wants people in their homes this time. Maybe because the only expensive homes leading up to '20 were in the 'right' neighborhoods instead of everywhere so congress was ok with the homeowner bailout this time

concrete houses and apartment buildings are the poo poo. in la republica dominicana they have concrete apartment buildings that are 3 bedroom units, 4 units to a shared landing, and 4-5 floors. once you shut your door you couldn't tell you were sharing walls with other folks. i think they build 10 story ones now but they've been capitalism poisoned and they're LUXURY and not meant for regular folks.

Like I said, there's something cool (in an absolutely deranged way) about claiming Marxism is a reactionary innovation concocted by the parasitic landlord monopolist class to dispel true revolution in the form of a land value tax, and putting it in the same category as neoclassical economics.

This is the article that discusses the paper for what it's worth

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/the-dissing-of-henry-george_b_59145d26e4b016248243f20d

Lol if this person thinks any more sideways their head is gonna roll off, it lacks any understanding of the historical context of the time.

Sure, the robber barrons of the early 20th century were secretly promoting Marxism as an alternative to Georgism (because it was a bigger threat) while communist revolutionaries were taking over major European countries. Really wish I could slap this person upside the head

Georgism was an interesting product of the time but it didn't employ the immortal science so it was doomed. Nowadays if someone is talking about it there's a 90% chance they're a history geek or 10% chance they're the fringe who want land reform and the destruction of the rent seeking class but also despise socialism

One of the most interesting things about it was how it was the 2nd best selling book of that century behind the bible but it was so unpopular with the handful of people who actually matter that it has been effectively cleansed from the historical record
