Hmm, pretty sure just outside London there are massive homes for what I'd call upper middle class people. And then in America you can buy a 3000sq ft house for $150k, definitely room for a dinner party because there's not much els

When I think about the reasons to pursue owning a house over an apartment, I will remember the Waffle Brunch. It sounds like such a house with a yard thing.

But kids this age have always been crazy fans of pop stars. Now they're choosing their content and engaging more directly rather than having (often skeezy) middlemen such as agents, producers, music labels, etc manufacture and force st

It's all riding on the faith of the rest of the world in the US. Watch the USD. Once it plunges, it's over. Won't be able to print money anymore. Until then they can print away a lot of problems.

It only seems strange to you because you are probably American. Not everyone views land this individually. Nor does your approach make any sense. So you're against the government telling me I can't build a toxic waste dump on my l

yes, but that's not really an issue. If it's not a real gain (inflation adjusted), then it's not income, and doesn't need to be taxed.

The biggest lie is this nonsense about "double taxation," ie taxing money that's already been taxed is somehow unfair. So stupid. Capital gains tax shouldn't exist. It should all be one income tax. You can carve out disc

Those are massive fleet and supply chain owners. Uber is a booking platform that doesn't own a single vehicle or employ a single driver. That said, I don't think same industry experience is that critical.

This is the best time for it. We are online and not in Houston so not like I can help them anyways. People need to live in tune with nature, not ignore it for short term monetary gain. Eventually places like Phoenix, Vegas, Miami, etc will

Sure. But I thought everyone living in Houston was aware of this risk? How do you live there without knowing this? Most of these outer areas are full of people constantly harping on about the government staying the hell out of their busines

Haven't seen any reports of major roads collapsing. Bridges? There are no major bridges in Houston. America has a knack of encouraging people to move to completely unsustainable places and not planning for the growth at all.

Why forage when you can easily store thousands of dense nonperishable calories at home? Heading out to the woods to pick a bucket of low calorie leafy greens seems like the last thing you want to be doing in a disaster.

In 2012 there were actually less cars per capita in the US than many parts of Europe including Italy. The difference is that in the US, auto financing is ridiculously easy for purchase and lease, combined with the general financial irrespon

That is not how Westchester is. I would love to live in Westchester or Hudson Valley towns. The problem is due to shitty trains, the commutes are far too long. Look at a town like Beacon NY. Beautiful place with ridiculously cheap real esta

Mostly true, but they have built new highrise towers in Brooklyn. I am probably living in the most convenient building in the US right now, with lots of amenities in a very comfortable 1bdrm. The problem is it's still $3400/mo+ an
