They need to start making fucking rent to own a thing again. This shit is getting absurd and they won't like it when we overthrow the landlords for this fuckery.

I hate myself so much for turning this down... The house I was renting was owned by a really nice guy who lived down the road and couldn't sell it for the 280k he wanted, it was off a main road and directly behind a gas station so I really didn't want to settle there, but for $280k I really wish I could have seen into the future... That was 2 years before covid. A year into covid and all the WFH people moving out to the area the house went to $500k... Now I don't even want to look at what it might be.

All that said I live in a garage now because the fucking prices are absolutely insane.
