No $65 house for me

My parents drove by the house I wanted. Of course, someone else had already snapped it up.

Today, Nala and I went to a couple open houses. $240k. What the fuck ever. Gentrification in action. I'm amazed at the difference between rental prices and purchase prices. We would have to double what we pay in rent to be able to purchase an equivalent property (3br 1ba condo with attic and basement and no amenities).

This sucks ass. So therefore you have people like us, paying $750 in rent next to people paying $1500-1800 to own. Plus, they also have to come up with a huge down payment.

Who the fuck owns these houses? I mean, they're not even perfect.
