No one has came to fix this ceiling leak in weeks and now the wood around the pipe looks to be rotting away. We're also down to just one maintenance person to cover all 80+ rentals. :waycool:

Guns should not be personal property. A toothbrush should be. You don't share a toothbrush because it's gross and unhygienic without some industrial grade sterilization and cleaning between use - which would be a waste of resources for little gain. You can pull the same dangling penis trigger of the gun at the shooting arcade as other people. We have hand wipes. It will still work.

In my ideal world you don't need to own more than a small rucksack with a toothbrush, meds and toiletries, toolkit, laptop, data storage, and maybe a first aid kit. Every else could be meaningfully shared.

I feel like your turbo mega fantasy world where full idealized communism is the rule of the entirety of the planet kind of lacks imagination. Like machines would be doing pretty much everything at that point so doing some chores would be less than pointless.

The point of communal ownership of the means of production is to make people work as little as possible so they can you know, live?

on topic: my sister married a cop and now due to some legal bullshit with his ex and their daughter, he and my sister have moved out of the house they bought to raise their kid in and bought a different house with the aim of renting out the old one for the cost of the mortgage. all the other poo poo aside, that last part is the stickiest part to me because its such a no-brainer thing to do from the perspective of "owning" the property, but having another family buy your second house for you is also peak scuzz. i dunno about my brother in law, but my sister would be completely unmoved if i pointed this out to her because with everything else she has to deal with she doesn't give two shits about the plight of another family, or the fact that she is personally exploiting them.

I’d point out that renting out a single family home is difficult and often a money loser, most professional landlords look for duplex’s or quads. In a single family home after rent, you could end up losing money on taxes, maintenance, etc so it may not be cost effective to rent it out.

My dad rents out the single family home that my grandma left him when she died but it makes money because he owns it outright and the expenses are maintenance and taxes.

So strictly from a financial perspective selling it is often the way to go

IM STILL SPENDING MONEY FROM 1888
Depends entirely on the location and local market. Here landlords are making a killing renting single family homes to students because they can charge each student by room and don't have to invest any money into making it a legit multifamily home. If you have a 4 bedroom home and rent it for 600 a room it's 2400 a month. And they don't have to do anything to the house that they would have to do with multifamily complexes.

EXISTENCE IS PAIN😬
If your roommates are tolerable it can be nicer to share a whole house vs live in a tiny dumpy apartment. When I rented places like that though the biggest issue was the owner deciding to up and selling the house, forcing everyone to move. Happened a couple of times.

When I said the maintenance person had 80+ rentals what it actual is from talking to him is more like 200+. Just today alone he's dealing with 7 maintenance code violations. He came to look at the ceiling leak and said it isn't a fault with the plumbing but with the residence upstairs spilling water on the floor during bathing, which is every loving day. Interesting enough that was the excuse when the leak first started one year ago under a different tenant until it was somehow no longer the case. I'm most likely going to be calling the housing authority on this, which is what most of the people here are ending up doing anyway.

This is the company I'm dealing with: https://www.syracuse.com/news/2019/08/syracuse-code-inspectors-set-up-shop-at-skyline-apartments-to-handle-complaints.html

I don’t recommend you post personal info like this, both because of potential doxxing and retaliation by your landlord.

When I was going to college, the housing situation in the town was a nightmare. The town is about ~15k people and the college was a disproportionate amount of that, so the students were like the tide against the housing and labor markets. Consequently every job opening was either 7.25 or asking for a bachelor’s and 4 years experience with no in between, and most of the non-college students were unable to find housing because of the death grip landlords had on housing intended for students.

I had three landlords (two of them were pairs, so 5 individuals total) over the course of my time there, and while they were all the usual slow on the uptake for maintenance, didn’t give me my entire security deposit back, etc., type of stuff, I lucked out in getting ones that weren’t very difficult overall.

Guns aren't 8chan and according to the page linked 39 percent of black and Hispanic people own a gun which is more than the 36 percent of white people who do.

the other white people can just buy them from their friends or from gun shows which makes their purchase essentially untrackable so I kinda doubt this 36% figure tbh

I doubt self-reported gun ownership stats about as much as I doubt self-reported drug use stats, but under-reporting is going to be a thing among both white people and PoC.
