America is trending more towards socialism and nothing short of a violent and bloody revolution in the streets is going to change it.

Anyways, I just hope our leaders don't help to precipitate world war 3.

Phoenix is the 5th largest city in the country with relatively low COL, but it's quickly going up. Rent prices are starting to become ridiculous while wages have been stagnant for the better part of this decade.

I'm renting the same unit type I did in 2017, rent was 1180 back then. I moved back in in the beginning of 2019 and now it's 1450. Granted, we are the fastest growing county, the increase in rent seems to have no end.


better the city gets the more it'll cost to live there.

You can get a nice house with a yard for what you pay for an apartment there.

Rent shot up when that $2 overnight min wage increase occurred.

The 2x2 with all utilities and w&d I had in a decent area at that point was $924.

Same unit is now $1650.

Go figure.

You posted that like two days ago.

Jam, you posted no context or reasoning of why you owe more money. There are many possibilities, such as incorrectly filed taxes or new income you didn't report or what have you. There are a thousand reasons. Without them, it is essentially a troll thread.

It's almost like if I were to make a thread saying "THE GOVERNMENT IS PUTTING ME IN JAIL FOR NEXT 5 YEARS!! THE GOVERNMENT SUCKS!!" and fail to mention that I robbed a bank yesterday. Context and reason certainly matters because otherwise the picture is not complete.

Well duh, but people are moving in droves and quickly finding out their cheap rent compared to LA isn't really any better bc the wages are still the same as 2010 wages.

And this decade has experienced ridiculous amounts of growth. No one is surprised that the COL is going up, it's all the downsides to it that suddenly showed up overnight that upsets locals. Infrastructure, transportation, traffic...

Municipal officials have been accepting bribes to the max bc they've allowed thousands of apartment complexes to be built within arms reach of each other with no consideration to the impact on transportation.

It’s all about GDP growth for the wealthy. But it’s cool bc cramming tons of poor immigrants into an area is good for tolerance and diversity too. So like, we’re heroes in our own way so we can pat ourselves on the back for that. Funny how nicely that works out for people at the top.

Remember? Thats why you and tpols voted against Trump in 2016. He was like “Sup with too much immigration? Enough wit dat.”

Granted, it was rigged for hillary and she lost which is hilarious.. but trump as a consolation prize is bad. I admire his brashness, and ability to tell it like it is, but at the same time hes a self absorbed retard.

All he cares about is his legacy which is why hes been accelerating the stock market bubble to pump up his image as much as possible.

The clown is going to lead us to an even bigger *pop* than how it wouldve been.

And then hes gonna blame it on the democrats.

I'm not saying you're wrong, and i am totally too lazy to lookup the stats, most of the newcomers to PHX are from other states. Plus, we always have snowbirds moving here for the warm weather. I'm pretty sure immigrants have decreased (at least from the south of Arizona).


Right, but I mean the concept in general.

Austin has grown like hell too, it’s become clogged up and dirty and homeless.

Im one of the “immigrants” to Austin. Nobody who lives here did anything to stop me from coming here, so I came. They might not have liked it, but they were too soft to do anything about it. Or maybe they thought it was a good idea, but now theyre all bitching about the traffic and cost of living and pollution.

Now they all want the city to stop growing, but most of the transplants from Cali are still on that retard time trying to make it a sanctuary city etc. Now former citizens have less control bc all the votes the Cali transplants have.

The immigrants we gettin from Cali ARE NOT the best people. Yes, I am an exception, but the general rule is true.

Gotta call a spade a spade. That’s word to Kyle Kuzma.

You can't really complain about rent and then complain about apartment complexes at the same time.

San Francisco is the most retarded when it comes to this - excessive regulations and barricades to building new residences that would actually increase housing and thus decrease rental prices. You're never going to decrease rent by preventing new construction of apartments and housing.

I'm not saying prevent all new construction, but spreading it out would work wonders for an already overloaded freeway. Most of these complexes (hundreds of em), were built next to the central freeways that are stacked with traffic. In 2016 i read an article that over 1000, yes one thousand, multi tenant apartment complexes had been planned/approved. I assume most of them have been built as it takes 1-3 years to build them. Doesn't seem like it helped stabilize rent.

I assume Phoenix will just keep growing and rent will keep going up steadily until we're just slightly better than LA or some other big metro area. I just wish the wages would follow that trend bc it's pretty fvcked up for locals to have rent double while their wages increase a small fraction.

Yeah. It’s a complicated balance.

On the one hand, I feel Austin has become too crowded for its own good.

On the other hand... I saw it coming, and leased multiple apartments around town the last few years to rent on Airbnb for profit :lol

Well, the Austin natives arent super liberal I dont think. At least not the ones Ive talked with - altho that may not reflect a balanced snapshot. Theyre also not as red as rural Texas ofc. I think theyre fairly moderate. But the “blue wave” is definitely crashing in from Cali.

It’s crazy most transplants have no idea why they all of a sudden found better employment opportunities out here, and they all left California. Like the cognitive dissonance is wild. And theyre all voting to turn the state into Cali.

It’s like KD signing with the Warriors bc he wants to win a chip, then demanding the front office trade Dray, Klay and Iggy for Westbrick and Thabo Sefalosha.

The largest city I see that’s straight republican is jacksonville and apparently Democrats won there for the first time in decades in 2018 so who knows.



Dunno about the metrics, but SD is well known as California’s “conservative city.” It’s cleaner, lower crime, etc. Im pretty sure a lot of local politicians are republican. They might have more registered Dem voters but that doesnt mean they actually go out and vote. Actually, if you know anything about Cali voter rolls... it doesnt even mean they actually exist :lol


In general, I agree with you that bigger cities will always require more regulations and higher costs, because youve simply got more people interacting, disputing etc.

Which is why having cities the size of NYC, Houston, LA doesnt even make sense IMO. It just attracts tons of people who want to be taken care of by big city resources, and make no effort to actually involve themselves in city issues. In many cases that means immigrants.

And then gee, suddenly you have people who are uninformed and dependent getting exploited? What a surprise. Better cue up all the leftist community college grads living in their moms basement spending their christmas money on green hair dye to play rescuer. “Let’s turn basic economics on its head because poor people shouldnt have to think or act or do anything but drone at a labor job and they all deserve 100,000k per yewr for it, and I shouldnt have to do anythjng but type on reddit and I deserve free healthcare and college and housing etc bc Im typing on the internet about how unfair the labor zombies have it!!!! If only the 1% use their brains and time wisely and make sacrifices, thats the best system to make everyone benefit!!”

I’m not gonna speak on San Diego like I know anything about it. I’ll take the word of those here who do for the most part. I’m just reading lists. The only person I know from San Diego went back out there on a two week vacation and came back outraged because Arabs had taken over his old hometown and then he and I googled it and saw a huge number of refugees had been settled there.

He says his old Main Street has all Arabic language signs and shit and he had no idea what was going on.

:oldlol:

Because they're all linked to the USD, slappy.

It's not human greed... not in the sense that you mean. The global market was supposed to be completely obliterated in 2008 but they were "successful" in delaying the inevitable by printing their way out of it. We had a pullback, but nothing like that was supposed to occur... it was supposed to be far worse... and it will be. It's inevitable.

There are asset bubbles in almost EVERYTHING.



If all of those banks would have been allowed to fail in 2008, the global damage would have been far worse back then than it ended up being, however, bailing them out has only made the price we are going to pay in the future that much more dire. It's coming.
