"The worst threat to man is man himself" Bangambiki Habyarimana, The Great Pearl of Wisdom
Quite clever!
1 year is not an example. Many mortgages are over 30 years.
That $2,000 a month can also raise if you've included property taxes and insurance in the payment. If you're not including property taxes and insurance then you're not really doing a full comparison.
Mid 30s isn't "old as fuck".
That being said, not everyone is destined to be in a relationship. Some people are just socially awkward or annoying to be around and don't have either the guidance or desire to change.
Some people don't even realize that they are annoying or off-putting to others, and so they can't understand why no one will be their friend or get into a relationship with them. Sometimes they tend to blame other people as the problem instead of themselves.
I hardly ever order food to my home. One time in the past 5 years I've ordered pizza and had someone deliver it. It's not worth the cost.
I rarely go out for fast food.
And now there's not as many fast food workers. They're being replaced by apps, self-service kiosks, and reduced hours.
Unless you move to a lower cost of living area.
My parents didn't give me money to buy a house.
Are you 13?
Not out of touch at all.
Did you check out the "im_jealous" community?
I bought my first house at 23. It takes discipline and saving.
I would prefer a future where criminals were eliminated. I don't care what race they are.
She was trespassing.
It's not BS. Rape is bad, stealing is bad.
Rape is stealing as well. You're taking something from someone they didn't freely give you.
My point is that stealing is bad and shouldn't be encouraged.
Name calling. Blocked.
It's better to block people than engage in back and forth that won't go anywhere.
It's very much stealing property. The same way a crime is committed when someone is raped. The victim still has their body afterwards, but a crime has been committed.
If you build it, inflation will drop, is Minneapolis' message to America's housing market.
> "I can’t tell you how many people were like, ‘Oh, look at all this supply, look at all these just brand new buildings,’ and kind of scoffing at it like this was going to lead to gentrification or rents skyrocketing,” said Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey, a two-term Democrat, in an interview. “The exact opposite has happened.”
This is one of those "well duh" moments... Obviously more supply leads to lower prices. This is Economics 101!
Neighbors say they've complained for weeks of mattresses and furniture.
Litter/illegal dumping is one of the top 3 issues affecting Milwaukee. (The other 2 being shootings and reckless driving.)
> "It's kind of like people are realizing that they can kind of get away with it so it seems like people are following the lead of it, they realize they can dump their stuff there. So now it's kind of accumulating," said neighbor Mark Choinski.
This is the problem. People think they can get away with stuff, so they keep doing whatever benefits them without regard to their fellow citizens.
This is a city lot, so the city is responsible for cleaning it up. (The cost of which is shared by the taxpayers.) People will dump on private property then the owner gets saddled with the cost of cleanup.
A small business on Milwaukee's north side was crashed into over the weekend. It's the third time the shop has been hit by a car in as many years.

> Westmoreland: "Bad. I mean it's a domino effect. One business leaves, other businesses could leave. That's the last thing we want."
> He's hoping policy changes and the new 2% sales tax increase, set to take effect in January, can help combat the destruction.
It's not only businesses leaving the area, which makes people want to leave the area, but also increased costs for the entire community. There's more costs for putting in extra "traffic calming measures". There's extra costs for repairs to damage caused by reckless drivers. There's loss of life. There's increased insurance rates if you own a car in Milwaukee.
> He hopes the sales tax increase can also help add more police to the force to help hold people accountable.
Hopefully!
A Milwaukee man was shot and killed near 28th and Villard on Monday. Milwaukee police say the victim, a 53-year-old man, was fatally shot around 12:45 p.m.

A 7-year-old boy was shot and wounded near 5th and Clarke in Milwaukee on Sunday afternoon, July 30.
I was really hoping we could go this weekend without a shooting, but NO, OF COURSE NOT -- and not only that, it was yet another shooting of a CHILD!
Animal shelters in our area have become overwhelmed with surrendered pets, and it turns out the problem is worldwide. Find out what you can do to help.

Geez, how about not lying? Humanity is disappointing sometimes.
Gas station security footage captured the moments three people approached a motorcyclist at a gas pump.
Friday's shooting resulted in one death. Hopefully we can get through the weekend without a shooting.

> DO BETTER
Some parents have children just to get money from the government. Those "parents" don't care about their children. They're NOT going to "do better".
Dozens of concrete islands are popping up on Milwaukee streets to prevent people from passing on the right, but the Department of Public Works says the curb bump-outs have created another challenge.
![DPW to replace concrete bump-out metal signage with plastic poles after dozens were hit](https://midwest.social/pictrs/image/82f0a5ff-cfbf-40c4-9f7f-32a094f68252.png?format=webp&thumbnail=256)
> Kevin Muhs is the city engineer. He says the bump-out poles have been smashed more times than DPW anticipated.
I predicted these wouldn't work and now we see that not only do they NOT stop people from speeding and driving recklessly, it costs additional tax dollars to fix them. The money used installing these things should have gone towards enforcement instead.
This is very disappointing. Why couldn't the city work with the buyer instead of fighting them?

It's so important for the police to connect with the community, especially children. This is why it's great news that police officers will be back in Milwaukee public schools.
A shootout between two people near 21st and Capitol ends with a Milwaukee's woman's car being shot up. Thankfully, she was not wounded.
Another day, another shooting...
So far this year, the medical examiner's office said 14 kids have died in gun-related homicides.

Yet another terrible shooting incident in Milwaukee.

Hopefully this will help save at least one child.
Milwaukee police say they arrested a 42-year-old man and a 14-year-old boy.

> Last week, three children under the age of 6 were shot in Milwaukee over three days. Milwaukee police said Wednesday so far in 2023, 103 people under the age of 18 have been shot.
I know people don't like hearing about all the shootings in this city. There shouldn't BE this many shootings, especially of 9 year old children.
A Milwaukee man has been criminally charged – accused of pointing a firearm at officers in Milwaukee on Tuesday, July 18.
> Officers eventually observed smoke coming from the residence – and it was determined that Harrell had set fire to his own living room. Harrell eventually jumped out of a window and was taken into custody. A caged dog was rescued by police from the living room where the fire was started.
Setting a fire in a room with a caged dog who had no way to escape? What a piece of trash.
