  • There are as many houses as people want but not all the the quality or location they want. Manufactured homes can be dropped on lots for a fraction of the price. People live in the central valley and commute so they can have a home for much less. The world will never have everything everyone wants the way they want it. Thats not this world.


  • If them buying it denied other legitimate buyers with the same purchasing power from doing so, then yes. A home is too unique a purchase to be scalped though. It’s like art in that the house is the only 1 one available exactly like it. The same exact house built on a corner or further in on the block have different values.

    2 pairs of the exact same sneaker treated the same from the same production run are practically identical. Market manipulation through scalping is the only method to raise it’s price at the time of market sale.

    Tickets have a limited duration they hold ANY value so their prices can be manipulated through scalping too.

    Houses just shouldn’t be in the same conversation.







  • You’ve jumped to conclusions. My statements weren’t in defense of her actions, they were an example of what it would take to make me concerned for my safety which was not present if the facts given. To rephrase:

    “If someone started acting suicidal, or like someone was going to die, while driving the car I’m in, I’d fear for my life.”

    You know how people pontificate online about what it would take to make someone’s crazy behavior happen? And to express where you might draw the line in a similar but still hypothetical situation? Yeah that’s all this was.

    There’s no hate for any particular religion within me, besides the generic atheist dislike for extremists that harm others.



  • Yes, with their own interpretation afterwords. What he quoted was me giving examples of things that would concern me, not a recitation of the events of the article.

    One of the ways your average literate person could know that was by the way I didn’t cite the article in any way or the fact that I was describing circumstances with examples unrelated to the Muslim faith.

    The first portion quoted was a response to someone saying he was praying and then when recounting the story they made no mention of praying. I asked for clarification because they literally excuded the information they implied was present. Then Lemmy started hallucinating.
