mugging is not comparable, because the police arent on your side. mugging-while-being-a-cop (civil asset forfeiture) seems like a similarly easy way to make money though.
Landlords normally: "it's just so easy! My tenants pay for everything, I dont even have to work!"
Landlords after being called out by a leftist: "this is a very difficult job, I barely make a profit. Without me you would be homeless. All my money goes towards mortgages! (Equity? What's that?!)"
Their new deck replacement fucking sucks. No attempts to even try to match the rest of the facade's color scheme, visible gaps/shit wood used for the slats, this looks like some unlicensed "contractor" who got all his knowledge of carpentry off HGTV installed this. Having installed a few fences in my time, one of which was indeed an elevated deck fence, I find this fuckin repulsive.
I'd have to run up in the house of a landlord who thought this was worth a rate hike of 1000/mo.
Yeah I can't say for sure what kind of wood they used but it looks like fucking pine. The last place I lived was sold to a new landlord who raised the rent by $500 and all they did was put new product on the floors a day before the new tenants moved in, their furniture was apparently sticking to the floor which I found very funny because I warned everyone who came to look that the new owners were scumbags.
Yeah I hope it was cedar but it's still probably going to look like shit in 6 months.
HGTV and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
Like they repainted the wood slats elsewhere. They had the paint. They had the color picked out! And they couldn't be bothered to match it.
Socially acceptable welfare queens.

There is no way he laid down even a drop of paint himself.

This reinforces how it is cheap to just be rich in the first place. You need to have money in order to do any of that and then "earn" the money. If he gets a loan, then it's even worse because it's just his tenants paying for all of it. Real soft-hands shit.

Cop and landlord seem to be the hot potato "professions": you get a lot of money at the expense of being hated by everyone and being acutely aware that the worse things get, the more well-deserved danger you'll be in if and when shit pops off on a large scale.
Do cops get a lot of money? I wasn't under the impression it's a particularly well paid job, it's not in the UK at least.
I think they're comparatively well paid for people with no skills or qualifications who sit down most of the day.
They get a shit load of benefits and special benefits just for them in many cases.
Cops in America make a lot of money in a lot of places, especially considering the "qualifications" for the job.
In the US you can abuse the shit out of overtime.
It's why you see 12 cops at a traffic stop, if a call goes out in their neighborhood they can trundle over in their plain clothes and shoot the shit and bill 2 hours of overtime.

I've seen old brick buildings have this happen to them. Apparently they don't know you're not supposed to paint brick, and that it's dangerous to the structural integrity of the building.
Painting brick is an unhinged move anyway because brick is a timeless look
huh, TIL
If you are considering painting bricks on a building built before the 1940s please don’t do it, and I’m not just talking about design aesthetics. Historic bricks are softer than their modern counterparts and the lime mortar commonly used before the 1920s is extremely soft.
These softer masonry materials were design to breathe and if they can’t breathe you are setting yourself up for a world of hurt. When you use a sealer or paint brick of this age you often trap moisture inside which can lead to efflorescence and eventually spalling which is when the face of the brick is pushed right off the body and the brick quickly disintegrates into powder.
You may think I’m trying to scare you and you’d be right. I have restored many brick buildings where large chunks of the brick are spalling and the structure is falling apart from applying incompatible paints and coatings to the brick. Everything from masonry sealers to layers of latex or oil paints trapped moisture and the bricks slowly ate themselves up from the inside.
I feel like if your broadcasting to a ton of people potentially thousands, you should be a little more responsible with your "jokes." They're never jokes either, theyre just mad they got caught.
I also mean this for "lefties"
Lmao, he claims to be a 2.5 handicap golfer. I say this as someone who peaked as a scratch golfer 12 years ago, almost everyone who is single digit or better is a turbo chud.
If there were enough supply and competition in the rental market, this would never work. This kind of post would be made to the sound of a laugh track, they'd sit on their empty apartments, their property values wouldn't go up, and they'd eventually come back down on their pricing. Instead, even if you don't get tenants, you can still make money on property values going arbitrarily upwards. At that, large real estate holdings (like apartments) are increasingly held by a handful of small players that obviously won't compete against themselves, so they just charge whatever they want, which raises the ceiling on what the little guys can charge, too. We have a trailer that family is staying at that, honestly, the fair price to rent it is $5-600/mo + utilities; like properties are going for almost twice that, and spare rooms in my city start there. It's because of how little choice and opportunity we have in housing that the system can be this exploitive. Sometimes, it's dizzying how much needs to change, but it must be done or things will just keep getting worse.

Famously elastic supply, housing.

I think this instance will cope

Everything under heaven is in utter chaos; the situation is excellent
Zach raised our rents by $1000/month. All we did was CENSORED
CENSORED is so easy.
wow housing equitability is so easy
