So wait.. as in the house is used simply as a line on an asset page - without generating income? Its one thing to own a $250K house rented at $1500 a month and say “thats a 250K asset producing $1500 a month…” its another thing to buy that same house and say “its a $300K asset” - and let it set empty. Sounds great on paper. But at some point these houses need to get off loaded to produce cash somehow. If nothing else when the boomers die off there will be a housing surplus - one that ‘buying a shit ton of empty houses to inflate prices’ will not be able to fix. If you only have a population of 275 million, but 500 million homes in the country…. Something doesn’t add up.

Sounds like we found ourselves the next Ponzi scheme if thats the case.

It's not intolerant to call out intolerance.

Whether you know it or not, you are now writing in defense of well proven misinformation on race and gender and it is okay to be intolerant of you and others who spout from the same sources. I know it sucks to have your voice not taken seriously in this conversation. It never will be.

So all skateboarders are drug-addicted anarchists? And all Pokemon enthusiasts are regressive man-children living in their parents' basement? Despite my obvious biases, I'm sure that's not the case. And I'm equally sure that at least some police officers are brave people who sincerely want to protect their communities - and don't beat their wives.

Why would you say he's going after a 14 year old girl and not protecting a group of 14 year old girls? Who is really the victim here? Why does your concern for well-being only extend to the person with the transgender identity?

Rachel Dolezal identifies as a black woman, and she worked tirelessly to advocate for that community for most of her adult life. Yet when she was discovered to be a biological white woman, she was castigated and cancelled. Why do we accept some forms of self-identification and not others?

There are many white people in VT and we do not tend to be intrusively religious. We also have a high cost of living, increasing drug problems and the violence that goes with it and the only people who would welcome your attitude would be other bigots. As a whole, I would say that Vermonters are welcoming the increasing number of non-white and non-straight folks that are moving here.
