    And if you don’t have any local places nearby you can either break yourself financially by moving somewhere else or just go fuck yourself. I never realized how much shit was jacked up in the small country town I lived in until I moved somewhere with a ton of competition. Suddenly the prices were way better, it was surreal. Food was cheaper and tastes better. Hell my Internet was twice as fast for half the price!

    My apartment, however, is twice the price for a third of the space.

    It still took me a decade before I could move without fucking myself.

    This comment was written in the early wee hours of the AM and I’m not entirely sure what I’m rambling about.

      Nah I get it. Competition for our dollars creates a marketplace that’s actually thriving and competitive costs.

      Its actually why I shop in rich neighborhoods. Seriously the prices are never better.

      But housing isn’t a competitive marketplace it’s still mostly owned by a few rich who all agree to raise their price lest they lose out.

      Sigh… This backwards shit hole.
