        I dunno dude. Ya there are these 1% who are billionaire. Then there are these folks out on the wood who supposed for billionaire and make about 99% of Republican party. Literally in Birmingham Alabama for some work, as soon as u leave town, it’s all confederate flag and white Christina flags everywhere. Billionaires are just brainwashing these folks.

          The path to billionaire pockets is getting shorter for most properties. AirBnB allows it to pay for itself even faster than rental property, justofy its sitting empty status, and the semi-rich hosts often sell to these conglomerates as part of their retirement nest egg.

          The median Californian or Oregonian or Chicagoan is probably just getting by. But I don’t have data to back that up.

      Hell yeah. My home value has gone up 50% since I bought it. Got tons of equity waiting for a big house outside of the city to get cheaper. Let’s paint the countryside blue.
