In London you are always within 100 metres of good curry or good kebab. The trick to enjoying food in Britain is to never eat British food.

it's London

you're never far from any food in the entire world

if you're in London but you find yourself eating beans on toast or scampi and chips that's on you

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
I never understood this either I just hated landlords because they're scum

in the UK they just apply for welfare after their tenants die in the apartment months after the rent had stopped being paid and get approved

It's not quite economics 101, but Dumbler has clearly never taken a second-year microeconomics course. It's more profitable to rent out 19 apartments for $1,000 than lowering the price to $900 to rent out all 20.

an easy aspect of this is if you own a sizable percentage of some limited commodity and you raise your prices, everyone else selling will tend to raise their price as well, because everyone likes money

and there is speculative investment

Some apartments also get a loan to build the entire thing with the terms based on the expected rent per unit. If they go below the expected rent, they could wind up having to pay extra on the loan payments for breaking the terms

Housing is an inelastic demand - you literally cant live without it. Given how much the US makes homelessness awful, dangerous and otherwise intolerable, nobody who can afford rent is going to go without even if it goes up year after year. It just slowly raises the floor to be housed higher and higher, pushing more people out of being able to afford a place to live*. And given *waves vaguely* being homeless makes it massively harder to afford being not homeless in the future.

* Nobody cares because this is by definition the poor and otherwise marginalized.

Luckily there are other things than the market that could make landlords reconsider their "profession," I'm sure there's a little bit of rouge reading you could do.

The loading screen tooltips switching from gameplay controls to openly yelling at you is memorable imo

here's most of them

LoadingScreenTips_100=Can you even remember why you came here?

LoadingScreenTips_101=This is all your fault.

LoadingScreenTips_102=Do you feel like a hero yet?

LoadingScreenTips_103=How many Americans have you killed today?

LoadingScreenTips_104=It's time for you to wake up.

LoadingScreenTips_105=If you were a better person, you wouldn't be here.

LoadingScreenTips_106=To kill for yourself is murder. To kill for your government is heroic. To kill for entertainment is harmless.

LoadingScreenTips_107=There is no difference between what is right and what is necessary.

LoadingScreenTips_108=You can't go home.

LoadingScreenTips_109=Kill a man, and you are a murderer. Kill everyone, and you are a god
