My city owns all our utilities. Works the same, arguably more reliable

This isn’t a choice issue. It should be state owned and operated in a non-profit capacity, and everyone should pay their fair share.

Back at the office:

So it seems people don’t like ads on their vibrator which means they are viewing them. Let’s wait a couple of years for the anger to die down then do it again.

Sorry US law, that’s where the US can do whatever it wants in the rest of the world but at home there is a rule book (allegedly)

The effect is still the same these companies are given access to my personal information because the government wants to monitor our activity online

It’s going to suck to have to carry in depth genealogical records everywhere

I think so. They keep saying the gunman meant to go to the NFL offices in the same building. With the source being “trust me bro”. Like they’ve released nothing.

I think the truth is this is a copycat killer going after the corporate elite and they want to hide that.

In this case I understand not downsizing until your kids are established with a job/place to live.

Depending on equity and their mortgage payment it may not even be possible to downsize without paying more per month. That’s the insanity of the current market.

Remember this is an occupied family home with an unoccupied room. Not a whole property.

What would you suggest?

A lot of kids move back after college. I definitely wouldn’t downsize until my family was secure and for sure no longer needed the space.

Now the question is it better to allow that space sit vacant or rent out the space.

I think there is a defensible position for renting out a temporarily unused space in your primary home versus buying vacant properties solely to rent.

Sure you can argue they dont need that space, but a lot of kids return after college. If I had kids I’d only downsize once they are well established. It’s about ensuring the security of your family and ensuring they have a place to come back to.

Is it better to let that sit space vacant for 4+ years though?

Not an apartment complex, but a building makes sense.

I’m not saying it’s just, but there are some loans that allow you to buy a quadplex but you have to live there. You are free to rent out the remaining units.

Exactly, I’d argue kids are the most likely to go to lengths to circumvent the rules

Forget tax havens, eventually some countries will probably become content havens and sell server space hosted there. Probably some carribean island

Yeah stealing from random people to “survive” is not okay.

This isn’t stealing food from a store this is taking money from everyday people’s trying to rent an apartment

Even if he did all he needs to do is “sell” physical assets to family before any liens are placed.

Cash is a bit more difficult, but large one time gifts have special tax rules
