How became a .
Owning a has basically always been as essential to the . But increasingly, a home is starting to feel completely out of reach for the average American, especially younger people. So what happened? Are we all just bad with money, or did something in the shift to make so unattainable?

Well this is getting old. Lost another pin oak during last nights thunderstorm. Pretty rotted and snapped off at the base. I guess I know what I’ll be doing this Grateful it didn’t hit anything and that the heat and humidity broke so cleanup shouldn’t be too horrible.

Created for a friend and coworker - this past week she and her husband received keys to their first and very own house. I’m proud of them for all the hard work they put in to achieve their goal of homeownership ❤️🏠🔑

How is holding back the U.S. axios.com/2023/08/26/housing-c

Homeownership is sold as part of the American dream for many decades now.

This idea served political and development purposes in the old times.

But the world always keeps changing. But corruption in politics doesn't as fast. Our system has wrong incentives. And it also contributes to suburban sprawl along with negative climate impact in multiple ways.

If you have a single story house, it shouldn't be a problem but, if it's a 2 story house, hire someone to handle the ladder work.

It's not worth risking life/limb to paint your house.

If you disagree with your 2023 property values, be sure to file a property tax assessment appeal before the deadline. Appeals of regular assessments must be filed by September 15, but other appeals have a different deadline schedule.

We bought our house from our landlord less than two months ago when rising interest rates forced him to sell.

It was, at the time, a terrific opportunity to enter the housing market at a discount since he needed to offload it quickly.

I've spent over $2k CAD on Electricians, $15k on installing a Heat Pump (but the Canadian Government will give us a chunk in rebates), and now my roof is leaking.

Lol. ~3 years after I bought the mount I finally mounted the TV. Now I need to figure out mounting the Sonos Beam and AppleTV up there and cable management. So another 3 years? 🤡b

Just great. It seems we have a wasp problem in the basement pantry. A few buzzing about and swept up about 100 dead ones. Found a crack where they seem to be coming in, guess I'll give a spray overnight when they're not active. Will not caulk the crack as I made that mistake about 20 years ago. Sometime, home ownership gets old but I'd rather deal with it than waiting on a landlord.

Advice welcome. As of now, I’m thinking of trying to cover the nest to starve them out.

Good news: I was able to split up the fallen branch in my yard with my circular saw

Bad news: Now I can't justify getting a chainsaw ☹️
