Gentrification...... Seattle.... and beyond

Its disgusting, I have seen my city change, so much and so quickly.....
Now its to the point where its so in my face idk how much longer I can put up with it
When I first came here at 18, it was a bustling place for NORMAL PEOPLE.
Average people lived here, It wasn't just Amazon, Microsoft, Google executives and the second class that cooks, guards, takes care of, and cleans up after them....
Im so sick of these fucking people, its like most of them have totally forgotten what being a normal person is like.
My first apartment here was a 2 bedroom on capitol hill for 1200!!!!
That same apartment would be 2200+ now Those new luxury hi rises they are putting up everywhere.... They fucking sit vacant while they try to find someone who will pay
2500-6000$!!!!!!!!!! A FUCKING MONTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! for a FUCKING 2 BEDROOM!!!!!!!!!!!! What NORMAL PERSON CAN FUCKING AFFORD THAT??????
The sad thing is... This is fucking happening everywhere.....
And it really sucks cause I still have so much love for this place.
Seattle, more than anything else, taught me how to be a man.
And I just know soon, im probably going to have to leave unless I want to work 2-3 jobs to pay for an apartment im never fucking at.
Its the new fucking San Francisco.
MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MY DAD WORKS FOR MICROSOFT
I over heard these people walking home the other night saying... (In the most snooty voice you could imagine)
"WEEEE JUST GOT IN FROM NANTUCKET" FUCK YOU go back to Bellevue asshole
I used to see these sackless dipshits come into the restaurant I was working at with their 2000$ escorts.
FUCKKKKKK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
One day... all these big tech jobs are going to be taken over by AI then, we will all be fighting over bullshit jobs just to buy food

It’s funny, when I was in Denver back in September I definitely felt a ton of prejudice and anger directed at me because I kind of look the part of a tech-type person. I understood why. These people lost their city and cost of living skyrocketed.
I think that people underestimate how bad it is that we have this tech class in contrast to a service economy with disenfranchised ppl. It sort of sets the stage for class tension. Though, arguably, anger at tech is misdirected. Banking, etc. are much more nefarious and predatory.

Gentrification is a good thing. Why would you want your city to be a shit-hole forever.
Things are getting more expensive because we are over-populated and have finite resources. I don't see that changing so you might want to just start making more money please.

Ya know, the thing is, If I could live in a 1970's type NYC I totally fucking would.
Not having to stress about paying my rent, and everything else...
I dont mind carrying a weapon, or beating the shit out of crackheads if I have to. Not even a year ago I crippled some crackhead on cap hill with a baton, Didnt lose a moment of sleep over it 
You know why? cause I DONT GIVE A FUCK. I am at piece with my god, I just want to be able to make a decent living and enjoy life. "We are all destined to rot" all the same..... ALL THE FUCKING SAME...

yah damn those pesky developers for spending a bunch of money to make shit nice. philly is largely a shithole and have you ever talked to ppl that lived in like Harlem or the bronx in the 70s? the brox was lit a smoldering ruin. people talk about it like they lived in a fucking warzone. I had one old head tell me thst the drug scene in Hartford was like the Bronx in the 70s. which is kinda true I mean insanely strong cheap dope and open air drug markets where crowds of dealers run up to your car. have fun with that

America is amping up for war and hard times.
Sometimes that means building massive structures and taking over small towns on key routes with new growth and infrastructure./
And in the places off the grid, all of the unknown sightings are growing more common.
I'd say that I need to practice camping and outdoor skills more.
My knife throwing, sharpening, spear fishing, and fire making are getting slower with time.
But all of those skills will mean nothing much when humans turn on humans, leaving only the generational fallout of war and death.

People here defending gentrification are full of shit. What good is it for a city to be “nice” if you’re priced out of it?
The tech industry claims to be liberal but they’re the greatest segregationists in post Jim Crow America. Racist whites in the Deep South look at Silicon Valley in awe. Shit, they’re even driving the blacks out of Oakland, the birth place of the Black Panthers.
The tech industry has failed in their responsibility to the communities they migrated to but they could still make partial amends. They need to provide free and very low cost and rent controlled housing to the local people who created the culture they wanted to live in. They also need to use their influence to see to it that the workers in the service industry built around the tech industry receive living wages and have access to affordable and comprehensive health care.
The tech industry talks a good game but when you get down to it they’re just another good ole boy network.

The question in my mind is why can't someone build an apartment building and charge a 1000 per unit rent, 10 units a floor, 20 floors. That's 200 hundred grand a month, how is it that is not profitable? Even after hiring a super and maintenance guy. What cost am i not factoring in? A city with a 0.05% vacancy rate should be have developers jumping at the chance. I can only think the property taxes must be prohibitive or something.
No one is building is apartments anywhere it seems, in my city it has been one new (luxury) apartment building in a decade, all new rental units are either basement apartments or the above mentioned 2500 dollar condo rentals. I am under some kind of rent control they can only raise it a small amount every lease, like this year it went up ten bucks a month, I signed during a big recession.

I live in Pittsburgh. We are going through much of the same gentrification as many cities, though probably to a lesser degree. There is plenty of decent affordable housing stock here. You can buy a home for $80k. But, that won't get you close to a trendy neighborhood or very near the city core. So if you are a bus commuter it's not ideal, but it is doable. I live in the city, I can see the central business district from my yard. I paid $170k for my home. The apartment I lived in before hand was $1k a month, two bedrooms, in a trendy neighborhood, with an outdoor space. The place was great, but needed work. The owner decided to sell it, the building sold for $370k on cash sale. Houses in that same neighborhood generally go for $300k and up. Nice houses are $500k. At the Google Campus, studio apartments go for $2k a month. That's the same as downtown. That's also twice my mortgage payment, and I have three bedrooms, an office, and a detached two car garage. We were forced to move out of the trendy neighborhood and decided to buy in a less desirable but still good neighborhood. The kind of hilarious thing about it is that I lived in the trendy neighborhood for a decade, I moved in when it was less desirable. I watched the artists and musicians take over the place, I watched the local scene blow up, the bars were fun, the parties were great, then the area was recognized for being cool all of a sudden. That's when all the middle age rich people moved in. You go there now, it's all these rich professionals role playing as hipsters. The artists and musicians moved on five years ago when they were priced out.
Gentrification is indeed a bitch.

You're priced out for some reason, I' m not and I do blue collar work with a lot of disposable income. Tech companies have no responsibility to fail at. They are here for work, not the culture. You're just poor and instead of getting a decent job you find a scapegoat. How about you use your wages to give free housing to strangers?
Black people are not being driven out of Oakland at all.

Philly is the next east coast city that will be heavily gentrified, seriously..... withing the next 10 years.. If I can buy up some property I might do really well when whitey decides to take it back..... JUST LIKE with NYC
But right now, the rents are very affordable for a young aspiring chef like myself....

Seattle is expensive because Boeing, Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon, and I think even Google are based or have headquarters there.
That means a lot more big money flowing into the area which is how Seattle supports the huge homeless population. Let's be honest there would be homeless even if every house was 100k.

You are ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT And if you have a degree, there is certainly a lot of money to be made here.
Dishwashers here make 15-17 an hour But the trade off is, you'd have to live about an hour bus ride away to find a place you could afford on that kind of income
I grew up poor, I never had that luxury.

That's totally fine. It's not all about money. I mean, I have an engineering degree, but I choose to crawl around under houses in dig in the dirt for probably less money. If you choose a low paying career then you have to expect to have a lower end type of life as far as materialistic things go. If you could make enough money to have a nice house with a car and dirt bikes by flipping burgers or pushing carts then everybody would do that. Why would anybody go to school, or learn and be competitive?
If you want to live downtown in the nice apartment where it is convenient then you have to compete with the tech workers and the other high paying jobs. If you own property then you want a nice neighborhood with rising property values. Instead of "gentrification" you will have a neighborhood with lots of abandoned houses and crime, oh yeah and there will be art and all the artists will live there, right alongside the gangs. All the waiters and stock-boys will have the best accommodations.

I worked my way up started in the dishpit, started doing fryer and pantry, learned pizzas, then did burger/Sandwiches and steaks, then I moved onto italian food and fine dining....
The reason I chose this is.... THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN LEARN IN CULINARY SCHOOL YOU CANT LEARN ON THE JOB AND GET PAID FOR.
Most nice restaurants would rather hire a guy with 10 years line experience than some dipshit who just got out of culinary school, cant multitask or handle stress well
The money I make Isnt bad, id definitely be able to make a pretty comfortable living anywhere else...

I could literally work in any restaurant I want its just.... I have to be passionate about the food.
If I dont genuinely believe the food is good, my passion suffers.

The righteous should evacuate the cities ASAP. By the time the canary sings it will turn to chaos real quick and it will be too late. Save up money NOW and GTFO.
Or you can embrace the chaos and become a Canaanite and worship Baal.

Bet money tribes like the Amish will be almost unaffected; cuz they long ago escaped slavery and debt and engaged in independence and self-sustainability and communion with nature and spirit vs selling their sole for gold in the city.
Folks and communities in rural areas that grow food, and raise livestock, and have ammunition, food, medicine stored up will be among the few that survive what may come.

I agree with Oden. Folks around where I live hunt wild boar. The cities are the cancer and the pollution and what is destroying the nations and the world. They are founded on greed and dependence and debt. Cities are evil yo. They can be fun, but whenever I visited a big city in particular it just felt evil.
Save money, by rural land, grow food, don't just look at it as prepping for the worst case scenario; look at it as escaping slavery and debt and embracing independence and self-sustainability.

I agree with a lot of what you are saying..... I would love to own a piece of land out in the country some day. But the thing is.....
In rural places, there just arent that many opportunities.
It would take a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng time to do that working at a mill or warehouse and making 12-14 dollars an hour
I am at peace with my god...
Theres a good chance 5 or 10 or 15 years from now...... not much will change.
That whole prepper mentality can be very dangerous...
Its good to be aware of politics and stuff like that.
I grew up around commune hippies....
Just dont let it consume your life

Word up. I do my best to balance; I got out surfing and go visit the beach at least once or twice a week.
But yo it's not as difficult to buy land as you think. You just got to be willing to sacrifice a lot of fun while you're saving money for a few years and then be willing to live a little third-world style for a few years after you buy the land. Check out real estate sites for cheap land. Also there are some companies and individuals that have really cheap monthly payments (though you do end up paying a lot more for the land in the long run vs buying it out right)

"right alongside the gangs."
There are gangs everyyyyyyyyywhere.
Its funny.... In seattle, if you ask any white person how safe the city is they will tell you its very very safe except for downtown....
The black people will tell you about all sorts of grimy shit thats going on.
Ive ran into a lot of those MS migets here, they keep to themselves unless you carry yourself like an idiot...
The guys you always hear about getting killed, are the guys that are deep into heroin and cocaine bullshit....
In my experience whenever someone has been executed by gunfire, it was typically because they stole from someone....... They were taking money out of some shady dudes pockets..... or retaliation
Those guys dont want to be killing tax payers, you start killing tax payers, then the FBI starts snooping around and nobody makes anyone money and people start getting locked up

So weird seeing downtown from the viewpoint of a camera...
Great post... The tent cities here are pretty insane.....
Ever heard of "Vehicle ranchers"?????
They park garbage vehicles around the city and rent them out to homeless people...
Cheaper and more accessible than those bed bug infested junkie motels up on aurora..................
A few years ago they found a "crack tent" around one of the underpasses in the international district with $50,000 in 1s and 5s and Multiple ozs of crack...
Anyone ever heard of "SEATTLE POLICE BLOTTER?"
IF YOU ARE A LOCAL RESIDENT CHECK IT OUT EVERY NOW AND THEN, YOU MIGHT REALIZE THAT.... Your community is dirtier than it seems...
Seattle police make $100,000 a year

"19.50 an hour, the rent for a 1 bedroom apartment in seattle, would eat up half of their income....."
Thank you for posting that, case in point
I dont like talking about how much money I make.....
If your rent is more than 1/3 of your income, you're hustling backwards

Ultimately, I think it enables people to continue their bad behavior.
Anyone ever spend any time in Olympia? The city makes it so if you are homeless you get:
3 free meals a day, free needles and toiletries A FREE TENT! public rest rooms.....
If I had all that when I was homeless I might have never cleaned myself up.

If you’re blue collar you’re priced out too
As for Oakland
http://thepioneeronline.com/39009/metro/gentrification-in-oakland-on-the-rise/
Quote:
The diversity of Oakland has subsequently been affected as the cost of living has risen. In 1990 African-Americans made up about 43.9 percent of Oakland’s population. In 2000, that number was 35.7 percent, and in 2010 African American’s only made up 28 percent of Oakland’s population according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s nearly a 16 percent decrease in Oakland’s black community since 1990. At the same time in 1990, white people made up 32.5 percent of the population, then declined to 31.3 percent in 2000 and increased to 34.5 percent in 2010. Over all that’s a six percent increase in Oakland’s white population.
The average price for a home in SF is 1.3 million. That’s not possible for a blue collar worker.
So. You’re totally fucking wrong. Keep up the hard work though. Unfortunately, America is rigged so it never pays off but still we’re all so proud of you.

Alex Jones says that's all part of the plan. Illuminati wants zombie homeless people rampant across America; particularly in the cities. That way when they're ready for the Final Solution (biological weapons attack on cities) the population will drop drastically and solve most of the Illuminati's problems.
Get this, 1 in 38 Americans live in New York City alone. If the Illuminati releases bioweapons in the cities (deadly diseases) they can just blame it on anti-vaxxers and illegal immigrants and cull the majority of the nation's population...
If I was an evil Illuminati fuck that's one of the things I would do to get the world population down to 500 million.
Infect all the cities with diseases that they have already taken the cures for.

I really wouldn't be able to say anything about Oakland, being that, Ive Never been there..
The central district was traditionally where most of Seattles middle class black families lived.
Now a lot of those single family homes are getting torn town and 300,000 dollar condos are being built in their place.
Most of those families have moved south twards kent and federal way.
I guess thats just what happens when the property value goes through the roof

I worked at this little dirty mexican restaurant in belletown a while back.
It was on a 1/4 acre lot, apparently the owner has bought it for only $50.000 back in the 60s, I think it was about 6-7 years ago now.... This guy showed up at his restaurant with a lawyer and offered him $10,000,000 for that property he bought for peanuts way back when.
What would you do?

That means a lot more big money flowing into the area which is how Seattle supports the huge homeless population. Let's be honest there would be homeless even if every house was 100k.
I agree.

Buckomcdoogle said: You are ABSOLUTELY 100% CORRECT And if you have a degree, there is certainly a lot of money to be made here.
Dishwashers here make 15-17 an hour But the trade off is, you'd have to live about an hour bus ride away to find a place you could afford on that kind of income
So you can make it if you ride that bus. That is the price you pay for wanting to do what you do and live where you live.
Quote:
Buckomcdoogle said: Ive been homeless before.... Trust me 75% of those people are homeless by choice.
I agree. I was close to being homeless a couple of times, I am too much of a pussy to be homeless, lol. I got really lucky at the last minute and found a place to stay.
"Gentrification" will NEVER stop, progress will never stop. One has to adapt and adjust to live where they can instead of hating what is happening, it's the way of the corporate greedy world we live in. I went back to school at 42yo to have a better income. Plus nursing is a field that will never be out of demand. I was in bars and restaurants for 36 years by the way, did dish-washing to management, everything but own a place. Working since I was 12-13yo, but legally 17. I knew if I wanted to live in a big city and have convenience and fun that I would have to get a degree of some kind.
I know a guy who graduated from CIA in SF. He is a chef to a very wealthy family now in Texas. He started in marriots, and various other restaurants in town and worked his way up through to high dollar places like shannahans and del friscos type places, and that's where he made the connect for the family he is a chef for. I can almost guarantee you he would not have made it that far if he hadn't gone to the CIA in SF, but I don't really know. I do know those people in those high places look at stuff like that and would more than likely hire someone with those credentials before someone without them.
Yes, the game is rigged, yes it fucking blows, but in order to get to a certain level in life one has to play the games to a certain extent to get to the level they want, and that includes sucking it up and bowing down to the powers that be. Yes living on ones own land and being self sustainable is very interesting and sounds good, but the money needed to do that and the back breaking work to maintain it is really not for 99% of the people.
Plus, what about healthcare? Going to the doc? Dentist needs? If you're with a mate and it's a female what if she gets pregnant? You going to be legend of walks far woman and lean on a tree and give birth? What about staph infections, colds, exposure to the elements, and on and on. Face it, society and the world has improved with "gentrification" and everything else it provides. Some people don't want to be "rich" and I'm one of them, but I'm not going to be without certain comforts that I enjoy just to be a rebel or some martyr or self righteous fuck progress/govmt./gentrification/banks etc...that seems to me to be cutting off ones nose just to spite the face IMHE.
Not to mention when you're 50yo plus things start to go and ailments start no matter how physically fit a person is, sooner or later they'll need some medical care of some kind, period. I would NOT want to be an hour away from a doc or ANYTHING a big city provides. I like having stores one mile from me, my job 9 miles away, and living in a house close to everything. I thrive on city life. I lived in a very rural area for 4.5 years and found out that life is NOT for me in any way shape or form. FUCK that shit!

So what happened with this is seattle out of control with homeless or what? Maybe they could swing some kinda deal to get Giuliani out there. Just stick him in somewhere and have him work the angles. Like look Rudy you gotta go out to the sticks for a while till this whole thing blows over. But while your out there do what what you did to the homeless in new york but just out there. Whip the police up into a frenzy or whatever. The love you for that ull be back in the game baby.

In San francisco a few years ago, they changed it so all drug offenses are a misdemeanor..... They were forced to because the jails were getting so full a judge ruled it "cruel and unusual punishment"
Now its basically a free for all for junkies and derelicts.
What a mess

Gentrification is a mixed bag. DC is the most gentrified city in the US. It’s hella expensive but compared to the 90s DC is amazing. We almost don’t have ghettos anymore.
Compared to the west coast, homelessness is pretty low key.

Baltimore is a pretty cool city. Almost all of the crime is limited to a few very bad neighborhoods. Most of the murders are revenge killings. The violence is pretty well contained to being between violent people. I have no fear walking around the city by myself at night.
I’d rather live in Baltimore than Ottawa that’s for sure
Baltimore is like DCs poor twin. Housing costs are about half that of DC. Baltimore has a lot cool converted warehouse apartments and really old epic townhouses. A lot of people live in Baltimore and commute to DC for work. It’s only 30 minutes by train.

Baltimore is a pretty cool city. Almost all of the crime is limited to a few very bad neighborhoods. Most of the murders are revenge killings. The violence is pretty well contained to being between violent people. I have no fear walking around the city by myself at night.
I’d rather live in Baltimore than Ottawa that’s for sure
Baltimore is like DCs poor twin. Housing costs are about half that of DC. Baltimore has a lot cool converted warehouse apartments and really old epic townhouses. A lot of people live in Baltimore and commute to DC for work. It’s only 30 minutes by train.
Fun fact: the violent crime rate per 100000 people in Baltimore is higher than it was in Medieval Europe. So is South Chicago.

The reason its so bad is because in communities like that the most dominant form of employment is the drug trade....
When competition is so fierce...... guys start dropping like flies.
You're making money and Im not?

A few months ago on the seattle police blotter i read about how....
There were suddenly all these home invasions and burglaries happening around the city, a few guns were stolen from some houses...
Then a bunch of drivebys and robberies started happening all around the city.....
High speed police chase, comes to and end......
It was 2 15 year olds and a 14 year old
Its the youngins that do all the killing..

As for Oakland
http://thepioneeronline.com/39009/metro/gentrification-in-oakland-on-the-rise/
Quote:
The diversity of Oakland has subsequently been affected as the cost of living has risen. In 1990 African-Americans made up about 43.9 percent of Oakland’s population. In 2000, that number was 35.7 percent, and in 2010 African American’s only made up 28 percent of Oakland’s population according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics. That’s nearly a 16 percent decrease in Oakland’s black community since 1990. At the same time in 1990, white people made up 32.5 percent of the population, then declined to 31.3 percent in 2000 and increased to 34.5 percent in 2010. Over all that’s a six percent increase in Oakland’s white population.
The average price for a home in SF is 1.3 million. That’s not possible for a blue collar worker.
So. You’re totally fucking wrong. Keep up the hard work though. Unfortunately, America is rigged so it never pays off but still we’re all so proud of you.
Not true at all. I'm in the East bay, in or around Oakland, and purchased a house about 2 years ago for about $360,000. I fixed it up and now it's worth at least $670,000. Most of the other electricians I know own their houses too. If I was in San Fran then I would double my rates and be able to live there too. It's very possible to be blue collar and have a house. I'm proof.
The hard work did pay off for me. I still work hard and it is still paying off. I own my own house, have a hot wife and awesome son, own dirt bikes, video games, cars and vans, and have money in the bank. Doesn't get much better than that.
Just because the white population is rising doesn't mean that black people are being pushed out. If they can't adapt and afford to live here then they shouldn't live here. Same with whites, Asians, and any other race. Nothing is stopping the black people from getting educated and becoming techies or whatever.
Keep blaming your troubles on other people and see where that takes you in life. Good luck!

Is it possible that because his opinion is different to yours, you choose to fire a shot over the bow instead of discussing it or just moving on?

Financial stress is a horrible feeling.
Woman are attracted to security.
and fair enough.
How many women out there have to deal with dead beat dads?

Great reply, but let me add that PEOPLE are attracted to "security" and that includes mental well being. Unfortunately the people in power and a lot of the mainstream (all?) have made money the center of what we need to do almost anything. Yes, free stuff and things are available and some of those things can never be bought, but money helps grease peoples way through life and make it a little easier. Fakesunra, find the people who have the same ways of thinking and being and group together, rent a nice place, do things, but sitting around dwelling on what you don't have or can't get will only bring you down. I used to play the blame game too. I'm a little cynical and jaded, but I'll be fucking damned if I let the negative forces of this plane of existence get to me.

How is that creepy at all? You're just getting mad now because your dumb argument doesn't make any sense and you obviously haven't thought about this topic any further than what YOU should get for FREE, but I can almost guarantee that you contribute nothing to society. You need money to have a successful relationship and you especially need money to raise a child. No hot woman is going to marry someone that is pushing carts or washing dishes when they are over 20 years old. A lot of women like there man to be able to provide financial and physical security.

What is the point you're trying to make here? Sunra posted the average cost of living in SF, making it seem like it's impossible to live here, own a house, and work blue collar. Are you saying that he should have posted the median house price instead of the average?

I'm paying $300 a month for rent for a 1 br in pittsburgh and it's not bad. Average for what I got is more like $600 around here, but if you got the dank connections you can get super cheap, almost free living. Before I was paying 400 a month for 1 br, found in Craigslist. Also once payed $220 a month for a room in a shared house, still wasn't bad, and this city is the shit!

I hope you find happiness or have it already. This "discussion" you are trying to have seems to be entirely based on negativity for anything other than living purely off the land, hunting and gathering, and doing ones own medical care with plants. We have progressed with knowledge and comforts so those things are better for people. Besides, "owning" things is really only temporary ultimately, no? Kind of like a person only rents beer.

Hating someone for being rich isn't much different for hating on age, skin color, or if they use Android instead of Iphone. There is enough hate in the world and spreading it to the rich will accomplish nothing. The rich give and do more for charity and poor people than the poor people do.
Peace and Love for All Please!

Absolute Bullshit.

No, you wouldn't because you do believe in property. Stop trying to be an ultra-hippy.

Society does need structure.
One problem with the drop out movement was, Who's going to work? Who's going to make sure we have food to eat? Who's going to protect us from criminals..
I realize its very appealing to go out into nature and live simply, but if everyone just did that, our society would collapse, or at least suffer really badly.
Money is a "rationing device"
Its bullshit to say that people don't deserve to be wealthy, a lot of people work their fucking asses off....
Greed is the problem

what happens when trillions of dollars are injected into the economy that isn't backed by anything?

Fuck the drop out movement. I’m ready for the class warfare second civil war movement.
Money should be abolished. Wealth shouldn’t even exist.

Billionaires devalue the currency and create hyper inflation. They own too much shit and fuck up the natural flow of supply and demand. UBI would balance it out.

The dollar isn't backed by anything though....
Besides Saudi oil...............
Where do you think all of that currency will come from, the government is broke.
They will print it..

I don't dislike him as a candidate, he's actually really smart. It just seems kind of crazy

A big reason the gentrification here and in San Fran is so bad is because people from China and Russia come here and buy up all the property.
Their governments are so corrupt that there's no safe place for them to store their money.
There are a lot of nice places here that sit vacant...
I could think of example of this in small towns.
Some store front will be vacant for decades because its owned by some foreign investors that ask way to much money for it and are okay with not ever renting it out.

One problem with the drop out movement was, Who's going to work? Who's going to make sure we have food to eat? Who's going to protect us from criminals..
I realize its very appealing to go out into nature and live simply, but if everyone just did that, our society would collapse, or at least suffer really badly.
Money is a "rationing device"
Its bullshit to say that people don't deserve to be wealthy, a lot of people work their fucking asses off....

Yes, agreed!

You seem to think society in it's current form sucks major ass (which it does to a certain extent) and needs a restructuring. I would love to hear how you plan to implement and sustain your thriving utopia after "class warfare second civil war".

This world is so bad it needs to be deconstructed even if we end up somewhere worse.
