  • I truly struggle with what is the right way to think about the homeless debate. My partner and I debated it a few weeks back after listening to an episode of The Daily on the subject. We were both undecided.

    On one hand, we should be humane to those in need.

    On the other hand, some peoples situations are a result of their own making, and they are content living without. Regardless of how homeless people come to be that way, they often litter the streets with piss, trash, and drugs, making an otherwise fine area feel dirty and dangerous. Will expanded homeless housing help them get back up on their feet or enable them to continue their current lifestyle?

    I don’t know what the right answer is.

    Do you really look at him and think he’s the best person to continue running the country? Look at what happened with RBG, who died in office allowing Republicans to load the supreme court with judges who are objectively bad.

    Biden was fine and all, but it’s starting to feel like Weekend at Bernies. Better democrat candidates exist.

    Edit: I get the down votes, but the truth is that it’s a real concern and confidence is waning. Voters need to be excited and feel confident in their candidate or the turnout will suffer like it did with Hillary. Right or wrong it’s the truth. Strategy is important even if it means making hard uncomfortable decisions.






  • It’s actually a bit risky to keep a deposit. If the tenant says you’ve done so unjustly, and a court agrees, the LL can be sued for triple what they kept. I have an owner occupied two unit and it would really need to be a lot of damage with evidence of intent or negligence. Why risk keeping a deposit and then being sued for triple while still having to carry out repairs caused by a careless tenant or their animal.

    My place doesn’t make me any money, it’s a loss every year, but at least I’m building equity right?
