I saw a property once where the septic tank turned out to be an old school bus the owner had buried

Where did you grow up? I was in 4th grade in Fairfield county and we had soooo many stories like that, both tragic and miraculous. Missed trains, traffic, sick kids, but also people that otherwise wouldn’t have been there but for a thing that day, interview, meeting. Thankfully our elementary school did an amazing job with a media blackout, teachers that couldn’t remain composed were swapped for those that could, we were all given a sheet to bring home explaining that we hadn’t been told anything yet. But it really quickly became obvious that something terrible had happened, kids getting picked up for no reason, every fire truck in town screaming down the highway, the fucking jets flying over. Apparently the highschool didn’t do a good job containing things and tons of kids just left, some to try to get to the city where their parents worked. Didn’t learn about that until years later. I remember standing on the beach the next day watching the smoke rise over Long Island Sound

I’m trying to remember something big before 9/11. I was 9 years old and I feel like I should remember at least one news story before then, but I guess that’s basically the first thing that got enough attention to really leave an impression. Not to mention literally everything changing after that

There is a program that fixes that iirc, I used it for New Vegas. Somebody here will know what it’s called.

And making cheese sauce is like, the easiest thing to fuck up. I’m having trouble with an analogy, but it’s not easy. If we’re talking about a roux based sauce at least. If there’s an easier way I would love to know.

That’s a perfectly fair point, well taken.
Let’s just say getting out of bed and leaving the house on somebody else’s schedule to make somebody else money sucks in general.

And it did help me quit tobacco, I can hardly stand to smoke a whole cig anymore. But in turn it destroyed my gut, so now I use pouches. We’ll see how these fuck me up, probably rot my gums or something.

Are you really confused why those properties are expensive? Those are both desirable locations in regions with quickly growing populations. How about Livingston, or Butte?

I moved to the small town. I’m a college drop out, there’s always labor in the country, and I guess I just don’t want as much from life as other people. I’ll be happy working maintenance the rest of my life of it keeps providing.

I am coming to realize that my rural perspective is pretty different, and that lots of people live in way higher cost of living areas than I do. My biggest suggestion is if you don’t like expensive housing, get out of the city.
- Comment on A conundrum 1 month ago:
That’s not the point, and I can’t tell if you’re being genuine or arguing in bad faith. Do you want me to take the time and effort to explain why what you said is capitalist BS? I’m happy to if you’re genuinely interested in learning.

Was it in a desirable location? Our tourist town went out of control with our of state buyers during the pandemic, but property values have adjusted back some and the market competition is gone. If you still have some of that $40k now might be a better time. My wife and I just did the federal First Time Homebuyers class and wound up getting a USDA rural development loan, they wouldn’t even let us put a down payment to lower our payments.
I am a skidmark that cannot believe that I live in a house that I “own”(have a mortgage). And I am so much less pessimistic about anybody’s potential to do what I did. I am happy to answer some questions. I make $22 an hour and my wife makes $17, the loan officer told me I almost make too much for the program.
