Please dont be that edgy it hurts, I have taken home a girl or two back in my going out days. The last one that I've bought a house and made kids with. While I had fun I'm glad I don't need to deal with that anymore, particularly in this decade as it was abit more relaxed when I did it.

What you seem to be missing in your simplicity is that the whole post is about young males scared about making a move, mentioning plausible deniability, wishing women were more clear, and needing more than a hint to take a risk these days. The person I replied to made an asinine comment dismissing all these concerns, and you ran with it thinking it was smart, and triple down.

Hi again :)

No bad takes here, I already mentioned before that I have three beautiful chickens that are well loved, fed and protected and give me eggs on a daily basis. We work pretty well together

I'm confused now, are you saying that the current trend is to move out of cities or to the cities?

Let me guess [...] I suppose [...] if not you must be

Do you really think that is how logic is supposed to work?

And that's why it has had no use throughout human history whatsoever. /s

Do you also have an opinion on timber smelling bad and be completely useless with no upsides?

In fairness the suggested premise of you wearing human skin, not an animal skin, was funny but pretty stupid to start with. And not what they had suggested has been done for the while history of humanity.

And we are back at the maybe if you just did this one thing you'd agree with my weird ideas that I think everyone should embrace.

If not visiting a slaughterhouse, it is about watching cowspiracy or some weird youtube videos. Come on

Pretty high, until someone from IDF finds them and shoots them

No they are just psychopaths.

I think there can be some middle ground. Obviously speculation is pushing up both rent prices and the cost/availability of houses to buy. There are some interesting options, I like the idea to only allow residential property to be bought by physical persons - regardless of whether that's for living in it or as an investment it would put a damper on prices sky-rocketing.

Corporations trust funds and so on can still go mad on commercial property. Offices, malls and warehouse are not a necessity and let the market decide, I think that could be a win win. Feasibility of this in various countries would obviously vary but I'm sure something can be done.

I've also seen suggestions aroud limiting the number of properties one can buy/own. Interesting but more complicated to enforce and IMO not needed.

There are a few hot topics on lemmy and this is one of them. I think you did a good thing, I found that interesting and that's what I came to this thread for.

I dislike speculation on housing but appreciate there are many reasons why someone becomes a land lord, and I have been the person renting from someone like you when I could afford to buy. I just knew I wasn't going to stay in that city, I was getting a good service and am happy for what I paid for. And for how carefree that period of my life was.

Tankies are not known for appreciating nuances tho.

No no no you don't understand you are just stealing from them even if they don't want to buy. Everyone must have a house, there should be no landlords nor renters. /s

So if she accepts, it means she understands and is 100% dtf to you? Boy I have bad news..

The electronic device you used for typing all that crap? Probably slave labour. That's before looking at the power you wasted to do so, and it's origin. Virtue signalling much?

This is lemmy. You are no better than musk or bezos for doing that you filthy capitalist.

You should do you open source work hungry, naked and in the cold while someone is whipping you. Like all the virtuous 14yo tankies that are downvoting you certainly do.

/s in case it's needed

but charging $1300 rent on a property with a $1000/mo mortgage isn't unreasonable.

No it's just stupid. With those $300 dollars difference a landlord would need to cover insurance, property taxes, regular maintenance like replacing roof every 30 years, unplanned maintenance like a pipe bursts or aircon breaks. On top of that someone needs to act as the property manager/handyman so either the landlord takes that phone call on a Friday evening for the pipe that is gushing, or is paying someone to do that.

Tenant moves somewhere else and the place is empty for a couple of weeks, no income.

Oh and when you are done with all the above, depending on the country, those $300 count as income and get taxed (rightly so) so it's not really $300.

BTW I don't like landlords, I am not one. I rented most of my life until recently as a choice, been able to move to a new city or country at the drop of a hat. Haven't had to do maintenance and I'm only learning that now. Of course I paid for someone else doing all those things, and taking all the risks for me.

But lemmy users seem to have a thing for over simplifying things and decide what is and isn't excessive based on somethig that comes out of their ass. $300 dollars in this case.

Isn't that reason return to office policies though, and the majority of people would happily leave the city life behind if they were not forced to go back?

Appreciate you are answering a question and each one of us has their own preference but not sure you can say most people agree with yours.

Does that express your intent and desires clearly though?

"How about we finish this drink and we go to my place to fuck?"

Works 100% of the times, everyone should try it and stop it with the immature waste of time that is flirting /s

This part made me think you were saying that was an investment, sorry I misunderstood

So my bank is giving me money each month for doing nothing really
