If it’s any consolation, in 07/08/09 when I first started looking house prices also sucked..but there is sometimes a silver lining to economic downturns. For folks who can keep their powder dry and ride it out, the prices will continue to move downward if borrowing costs continue to rise.

Or he/she bought the house before prices went bonkers. My 3BR 2 Bath in East Bay was 1100 a month with taxes (with 20% down payment) when I purchased back in 2013.

ALDI for the win. Shopping here (and making coffee at home if you are someone who goes out for coffee daily) is an easy way to save a lot of money.
Same for cell phone/internet…check out T Mobile 5G internet, I sliced my bill in half. Was paying Cox 100 dollars a month just for internet, now paying only 50.

This is certainly possible. Without any outstanding debt, the amount of money needed to live comfortably goes down significantly.

Oh no, these poor youths need the state to build them an ATV track (maybe right next to one of our fine state funded shoot up centers) so they can express their ‘culture’ /s

/s, whoops! Honestly to me it’s laughable that this is a continuing issue in the city.
Maybe we could get the lifted diesel truck enthusiasts to meet the unregistered motor cycle enthusiasts..and let nature take its course

There would be zero sympathy if these were drunk drivers.

It’s strange..replace “21 year old ‘youth’” with “drunk driver” and there would be little to no sympathy…

Maybe the cops should just stop showing up to reports of crime, clearly the purple haired they/them know how to police, let them handle it.

The same reason folks put up BLM signs thinking they are supporting racial justice, but in fact are simply funding a luxury real estate money laundering scheme

Funny all the old Commie propaganda I see…none of the people are overweight, or gay, or have pink and purple hair…

Pay off mortgage early. Continue to make half of a “mortgage payment” amount to investment vehicle of your choice.

“I have a live for now philosophy I guess”…just like the rest of America.
So sad. I have friends who don’t know how much they contribute to their own 401Ks. Or what the balance is.

I cannot believe the discrimination in this sub against PoL like this landlord. Poor fella travels here from India 🇮🇳, becomes a citizen, saves his pennies to buy income property…and these priveliged white folks who drink Starbucks all day whine about his properties.
Maybe they should pool their cash and buy their own property

But why my bill and taxes higher??
