    It’s half a shit bill, anyhow. It limits very large institutions from owning “normal homes”, but opens up and loosens restrictions on manufactured homes. So they can still knock out a lot of owned houses. They’ll just be the shittier kind that won’t last as long before they go bad. Housing will be replaced by ones that last 30 years instead of ones that can last 75 years.

        Depends on the local building codes a lot of times. My house is almost 20 years old and is still in pretty good condition. As long as the foundation stays good and you keep the roof from leaking there isn’t too much that will make a house not worth repairing.

    He’s a narcissist and a sociopath. He literally cannot comprehend other people’s perspective. If he doesn’t see a benefit for himself than it’s not important.

    Full “I don’t care” mode. Any pretenses of being president of a nation is gone, he’a treating the country like a throwaway business deal. Use it up, bankrupt it, take what he wants. I’d say hooker, but at least they get paid.

      He’s got his new position as Supreme Leader of the Bored of Peace with 10s of thousands of troops, limitless funding, world-wide playground, and an array of henchmen ready to do his bidding.

      It’ll basically be the Wagner group on steroids. Funded by billionaires, for billionaires.

      He isn’t loyal to the U.S., it’s just a stepping stone, and he has to make sure he collapses it from the inside out so it can’t compete with his Bored of Peace army. He’s counting on the U.S. military to collapse.

      What he really meant was that “We (the rich) don’t give a fuck about anybody else’s life”

        And his wording reveals that he moves so exclusively in those circles that he forgot ordinary Americans exist.

            He’s been pretending. Which in the stupid US economy, is enough. “Just wish for it very very hard”

          Absofuckinglutely. When he speaks of the economy or any other topic relating to money, he’s not speaking to the rest of us. He has absolutely no ability to speak to or for us because he is not us.

          He speaks for and to the wealthy, not because he doesn’t know we don’t exist but because he doesn’t care and doesn’t need to. So when he claims the economy is booming, when he claims that affordability is only a word that his opponents made up, and when he says shit like this about housing, he’s talking to his shareholders: the wealthy who hold his power and love having him as the face that distracts us from all they continue to take from us.

    Someone explain to this man the connection between affordability and housing. He may not know the two are intertwined.

      Would it make any difference? He doesn’t give a fuck about affordability either, and neither does anyone else he would even notice.

      “If you or your shell company owns 50+ single family homes and/or 20+ apartment buildings then you’ll be able to buy 500 more of either, or a combination of both fully subsidized by the American tax payer. If you don’t have any home then fuck off!”
