Twin Cities are pretty nice and there are affordable not-poo poo neighborhoods with good schools. Also the politics aren't completely awful because the outstate population is completely overwhelmed by the cities and the suburbs were generally repelled by Trump.

I'm still dealing with the identity shock of being a lifelong marxist that graduated into the 2008 recession and that lived like I was totally broke for a decade regardless of how much I was making, to having the fortune to be able to buy a townhouse in early 2020 at 2.7% and watching the value skyrocket 25%

am... am I lib now???

Same but with a condo.

Bought for $252 in 2020 and it's already up to $298.

IDK. I feel fortunate. But the fact that I'm benefiting in a system that rear end-fucks so many people makes me feel like poo poo.

lol exactly, my place could triple in value but what am I gonna do, sell it and move in another place that tripled in value or rent from somewhere that had a 300% price increase

But also I believe the actual value of my townhouse should be like half of what I paid for it

Yeah, but you've got equity. You can take out loans against that to buy other stuff.

What other stuff? Who knows? What do people even buy in these doomed final days?

Thing about houses is that you can have sex in them and cops won't arrest you like they will if you do it on the street.
