People Going Homeless Playing FFXI

Do one with a hobo ridin the rails playing FFXI!

Is your camera lens run by AI too? The depth of field and lightning in this pic is completely wrong to the point that it's bothering.....

These are hilarious, which AI platform did you use?

People are going homeless working two jobs. Shits all *** up.

If anything put on the screen, it can easily be done in Photoshop.

I just remember when SpicyRyan was with some girl and she was screaming at him over some dumb ***. Just straight up screeching. Had to mute my mic I was laughing so hard.

If you are referring to me then nope, not "always". That includes the post that took the chance to take a jab at AI.

AI has no human right anyways, why would anyone care?

Fixed it for you.

Lol, I remembered watching Detroit become human and have been wondering why AI sympathizers exist in the story.

I guess they exist irl too....

just you wait...

Depends on the job and more importantly location. Places like CA or NY have a manufactured housing crisis where there is too many people chasing too few homes causing the supply demand curve to be beyond dumb. Other places it's on a scale, some are better then others. The older and more urban an area is the more the existing residents vote to create a housing crisis to enhance their home values.

Florida is also having this issue with real estate companies buying single family homes and selling them at a jacked up price.

That's on the books, officially today or tomorrow.

The second it's declared no more aid to Ukraine, that's declaration of ww3. It won't be on paper, but it's the first domino in a series of must happen events.

Is it going to be true this time? It was so disappointing to find out it didn't happen in 2016 when it was guaranteed.

The catalyst didn't happen until 2022.

WNC has the same issue, a lot of single family homes bought by out of state corporations to either sit on or (in most cases) rent as STRs. The topography of the area and proximity to national forests doesn't lend itself to building anything else, so we're largely stuck with what we have.

The situation was steadily getting worse until 2020, largely held back by the lack of industry and jobs. When there was a spike in remote work - people that wanted to live here all of a sudden had a viable means of making a higher wage and moving wherever they wanted, housing prices exploded. The combined effect of STRs, lack of supply, and (mostly) people able to work remotely has made housing here unaffordable for people who lived here 5-6 years ago and worked service jobs. The downstream effect now being that those service roles can't be filled, restaurants/stores/etc can't hire people, and folks are either having to move away or becoming homeless.

It was, of course, compounded even further by Helene, which erased a lot of houses in ways that are unlikely to be rebuilt. Supply went down in some areas, tourism traffic was dead during the busiest month of the year (fukin leafers), and people who may have had a place to live before now have nowhere to go except live somewhere else or live on the street.

Ehh not really no.

What happened in Florida is there was a mass wave of economic migrants from CA and NY that poured into the cities, places like Miami, Tampa, Orlando and nearby areas. Those refugee's had just sold their over priced homes for upper six to seven digits and then get into bidding wars for the now limited real estate. Native Floridians were now competing with Californians and New Yorkers and that caused prices to skyrocket and the supply / demand curve to go lop sided. We can tell this because once you left those major metro areas real prices settled down. Developers take time to build new supply in response to demand changes, at least two if not four years.

I happen to know several real estate professionals (that is an IRS category btw) in Florida, the investment market is crap right now, returns are too low. I also have a coworker that spent the last six months trying to offload his old Florida home and had to eventually sell it for 70K under what was originally quoted to him, the property is nice but isn't near a major metro area.

Everyone wants to imagine some evil bond villain as the source of some problem when in reality the problem is almost always the unintended consequences of emotionally fueled bad ideas. Flipping homes is not how money is made in real estate, most of the tax laws and designed in the opposite direction.

I know that guy. Always asks me for change and when I don't give it to him he mocks me for clearing bumba v25 before me... the nerve.

It's 1pm and you guys haven't invaded us yet.

Or have we?

I don't feel any more liberated than an hour ago.
I looked out of the bay doors at work, hoping to see a winged harbinger of freedom. It was a pigeon

Watch out! That wasn't a pigeon! That's a shithawk... a SHITHAWK, Bubs.
