I seek (unaffordable) glory!
(i.chzbgr.com)
Where ever you hang your bat'leth is home.
And glory to your Funko Pop collection!
That is Ferenghi stuff. It brings a Klingon house great dishonor.
Nah. This is for when I let one rip.
Relatable
As of 2022, 51.5% of American Millennials own homes.
Granted it should be higher, but at least it's a majority now.
That article says that it is due to:
- loan interest deferments
- work from home policies
- other government assistance
- rising salaries
- a (temporary) increase in housing affordability at that time
And it even says explicitly that
Housing affordability has declined steadily in 2023, according to the NAR, as has inventory, from 1.9m homes in June 2019 to 1m today. And this year, boomers are once again the largest group of homebuyers, often competing with millennials looking to buy their first home.
So... none of that inspires confidence that homes are now "affordable", and even that article ends by saying that they are not anymore, at least not like they were there for a bit during the pandemic.
Edit: still, thank you for sharing it - I did find it interesting to read!:-)
You are quite welcome and thank you for reading the source!
I still laughed at the original meme. Affordability is an issue we all struggle with.
And you are also right: something good is better than nothing at all good. Perhaps these little wins are all that we can hold onto as society slides into decay, i.e. as the American Dream dies for the younger generations... and there I go again with all the doom & gloom talk, but it's occasionally good to take a break from all of that?
Is an apartment not a home?
Within the first two months after moving into our new place we needed a new water heater, fridge, and washer/dryer. Plus a couple other small fixes. Made me feel much better about renting for a while.
Always something else...

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.
