The city has decided our house is now worth nearly twice as much as we paid for it in 2013. No wonder greedy real estate bros try to buy up all the property.

@rasterweb But Pete, doesn't the big mac cost 2x what it did in 2013 as well? Isn't this just us getting old and not accounting for inflation? I remember when my Grandpa tried to leave the tip for dinner with a one dollar bill. Is your house a better investment than anything else? Maybe? Or is money just worth half what it was because your govm't printed a bunch.

@poleguy inflation? I think you mean corporate greed... I don't buy food from McDonald's. I don't want "investments" I want everyone to be able to afford housing or have it provided for free. Money is a terrible idea.

@rasterweb I'm with you. I described money to my daughter when she was three and she had the same reaction: money is a terrible idea. It's only a great idea if you are the lucky ones with all the money.

@poleguy Still a terrible idea.

@rasterweb I just re-read this post, and realized how hard it is to even speak of the problem of money without using terms like "afford" or "free."
