The issue is the government letting the cheap affordable single family homes (not apartments or condos) go extinct.

You just don’t know those people. Also they don’t all brag about it. I just learned my BIL ownes 5 rentals now and is looking at more. He also has a good day job, but he wants to transition into pandlordong full time. I know many many people like this in So cal as a construction worker.

I’m telling you, those places are full of depression, conflict, traffic, ample(read: no) parking and those with all kinds of life struggles. People (the ones I know) need some space to maintain a healthy style of living. I can hear the lady yawning through the walls at my place. I yearn for a home with no shared walls sooooooo badly lol.

Mine doesn’t fix the house ever. And if she does, it’s always with the cheapest bidder.
