You mean a persistent lack of staff at the rate they are willing to pay them.
The market for labor is highly competitive right now - if a business is not efficient enough to pay those higher wages they will lose out.

Well... this and conservatives also tend to look back fondly on good ol days that never existed.This is not a COVID phenomenon, this has been happening steadily for years, accelerating after the 2008 financial crisis as adequate housing has not been built.
It’s not a complicated problem, it’s simple supply and demand, but the result is greater wealth for incumbent landowners and increased costs for people just starting out. Add on to that the exploding costs of student loans thanks to cuts in higher education funding and you have a world that’s a lot more expensive for those under 30 than it was for you.
LOL stop eating avocado toast and you can afford a house. LOL learn to code if you want a living wage, because all the peons who serve me food, drive me places, stock the grocery store shelves, deliver my amazon orders, etc should live in poverty even though I still want them providing services for me.Not everyone has to purchase a home. Rent for now while building up savings. Learn a more marketable skill to increase your income. Cut out all of the frivolous BS spending.
Pay rent to parents, lol. Of course it's a better "deal". But it's a huge detriment to growing into a mature adult when you can float around your parents house with little to no responsibilities.
You might appreciate this quote:No, I think it's a cultural issue, not a govt/legal one.
I also put a lot of blame on gen x/boomer parents, who raised their kids to "follow your heartttt money will followww". And let their adult children live in their basements never learning accountability, finance, basic social requirements.
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
Try posting from your real IP instead of a sus VPN. Or is that a problem for some reason?Edit: how do I turn off this thing that makes me wait 5 minutes between posting a comment.
And BWW is too heavily burdened by debt service to be sufficiently efficient.You mean a persistent lack of staff at the rate they are willing to pay them.

Yes, saw some Fox News clips where the hosts were ranting about how crime is at all time highs when really it’s close to all time lows.Well... this and conservatives also tend to look back fondly on good ol days that never existed.
For example, just ask any one of them and they'll swear up and down that crime rates used to be lower in the 80s and 90s.

In my own middle age, I've determined it's a byproduct of the aging process. We think the whole world is going to shit when it's really just ourselves.You might appreciate this quote:
It is attributed to Socrates. The older generations always think the younger ones are lazy. It’s just a flaw in how people perceive the world.
What, company scrip isn't good enough for you?

Fuck 'em. Landlord isn't a productive job.Yep. I've worked my ass off my entire life. I'm at a point where if I can do anything to give me some free time it's worthwhile.
Sure, another good topic. During covid, the government showed landlords (both individual and corps) that if there's some kind of mini crisis they are going to have to eat shit. Now everyone is pikachu face shocked that landlords are no longer uncle bob with his spare lakehouse. The only group that can accept that risk are mega investment firms, typically foreign, who use them more to hold assets/wealth than anything else.

My fox news binging dad tried to tell me that there is more unrest than in the 60s during the Floyd protests. I literally said "Are you for fucking real?".
Fuck 'em. Landlord isn't a productive job.
It's literally parasitic rent seekingResidential landlord is a fucking brutal miserable job. I did it with a couple properties when I was younger. The night I sold the last property, I had the best sleep of my life. I still vividly remember the relief of not dealing with stupid shit from tenants.

Okay. Maybe the forum software got triggered because the new guy is posting so prolifically and it thinks it's spam.I'm not on a vpn?
Fun fact: the only "crime rates are out of control" propaganda is really part of an agenda to bring back the drug war and selective police brutality.My relatives think any American city is literally like Gaza right now.
To be fair there are some problems, but there always have been. Lots of homelessness, addiction and mental illness, that's for sure. But as someone posted, the crime numbers are what they are.
"Those are skewed by the mainstream media!" Yep, this conversation is over, how about them Vikings (they suck...ok)

Is there some way to fix it? Having to wait 5 minutes between posting is a pretty serious form of oppression and I won't stand for it!Okay. Maybe the forum software got triggered because the new guy is posting so prolifically and it thinks it's spam.

I live in Portland so I have a front row seat for this BS. Conservatives are thoroughly convinced that cops not being able to arbitrarily lock up or summarily execute certain citizens means there must be more crime, even when there isn't. These are the self-labelled Christian conservatives who instead of offering assistance will call the police if someone's car breaks down in their neighborhood while posting bizarre conspiracies about the person on Nextdoor.
They are full of shit about the much reported retail theft apocalypse too.Fun fact: the only "crime rates are out of control" propaganda is really part of an agenda to bring back the drug war and selective police brutality.

I think there is something to the idea that there is more visible disorder in some places than in the past, even as actual crime is way down.Fun fact: the only "crime rates are out of control" propaganda is really part of an agenda to bring back the drug war and selective police brutality.
