This is the Future of America

The target demographic for these nikkas are working 80+ hours a week and ain't getting p*ssy anyway so fukk 'em...lol





But on some real shyt, I spoke to a property developer in San Fran some years back, and the reason why I hear rent is out of control in San Fran is because home owners organizations block new housing permits for the metro area thus driving the cost of living to ridiculous proportions. Not saying it's right, but everyone is trying to cash in on the tech boom. Sadly, I think this will eventually expand to every major metro area in the future...Thread is aptly titled.

What's crazy is with all the tech they should be able to decentralize these companies. Why does tech need a hub at all?

That's why I look at people that say places like New York and LA are the places to be like.

I don't give a shyt about how do dope the nightlife is; however, aspects such as standard of living do matter to me.

Where I live, $1,200 is a mortgage on a decent 3 bedroom 1 bath home in a solid neighborhood, but in New York and Cali that's barely getting you a little small studio apartment.

I remember when my wife and I were looking at homes before we purchased the one we live in, a nice front and back yard, with a 2-3 car garage and at least 3-4 bedrooms were things we were not compromising on.

We ended up exceeding our expectations and even getting a house with a swimming pool. Same home we live in here would run 3-4 million in Cali for example.

I've seen the joints out there that go for like $500,000 and they look like the rent houses we we bought for about 40-50K here.

Where do you live

It doesn't, but there's kind of an osmosis of ideas generated from a bunch of like-minded individuals where ideas start to explode. That and...it's "California".

Without going too deep...the very first assignment I had in undergrad was to read a poem called "Acres of Diamonds". The long of the short of it was, someone who goes around the world to find a fortune, when he was sitting on it at home the entire time.

Too many people think they need to go elsewhere in the world to make their money, when in reality they don't. They're just short-sighted.

Yep because too many smart dumb huge ego having motherfukkers are supporting this bullshyt instead of checking themselves. And the irony is that these the same ones trying to call out people's bullshyt, claiming to be down with social justice causes, screaming the liberal rhetoric and etc but they are big time bullshytters. They love to say capitalism doesn't work, socialism this but yet their money goes towards and how are they getting paid???? It's like really? The messages and actions don't adding up. shyt is stupid. I could respect someone that owns up to their shyt but you have these fukkers trying to play two sides.

Who the fukk would cosign such craziness or flat out support it then try to act like that ain't them?

 

[Wink Beaufield]

Damn. They really got folks living like they in central lockup? And they paying for that privilege?

Even here in DC you can still find 1br apartments all over the city for $1200.
