@LeftwardSwing Chalk it up to compounding interest !

@uncleblabby Chalk it up to Capitalism

@LeftwardSwing Pretty sure it's not a similar apartment.

@XE1000A I don't understand why you'd think that. The prices track where I live in Denver. 20 years ago you could rent a 3 bedroom ranch for $700. Today that home is $3500

@LeftwardSwing @peterdaou Gentrification?

@LeftwardSwing Isn't inflation and fiat money wonderful?

@LeftwardSwing .... was always the plan

@LeftwardSwing She's fighting the good fight and they're trying to ruin her for it.

@LeftwardSwing When I was 18, in 1967, I was able to go to free college and rent a small cottage in Queens NYC with a friend for $150/month, 75 bucks apiece. & I paid for it & lived fine working a NYC cab for 2 nights a week. "the "GOOD OLD DAYS" was quite true!!

@LeftwardSwing This is the reality. One of my friends, graduated from the Harvard Law school with so much debt that he is losing his mind how he will live and what kind of quality of life he can have! If you're not a legacy kid, then you have absolutely no chance in hell to make it over here~

@LeftwardSwing Yup…things were better back in the day category.

@SeanHol04547421 @secal2223 That is much easier said than done my done my friend. Moving is expensive. And many are rooted.

@LeftwardSwing Ahh yes, choosing to have an actual job instead of being a real estate speculator. 🤷‍♀️

@LeftwardSwing Isn't the government great!

@LeftwardSwing I couldn't afford what a landlord could get renting my home out

@LeftwardSwing @racheltrains What inflation?

@LeftwardSwing @n2play Water views outpaced inflation. Kinda sucks. About 80 years ago Grandma Mary would travel the East coast and buy waterfront properties for a song. She died very wealthy.
