    In 2018 I bought a $30000 condo through fannie may, in a really bad part of the city. It wasn’t great, but I had the basic necessities, utilities, bath and bed. Property taxes were under $500 per year. The down side was that I couldn’t just ask people to come over, I had to always watch out for people who were watching me. I had someone let out a burst of bullets outside my bedroom window on easter morning 6am. A car alarm with the level sensor saved me tons of money. It wasn’t the greatest but if we’re talking about survival and living in an RV is outlawed, then gentrification is the next option.

      Shit I live in a relatively nice part of the city and we still get occasional bursts of gunfire a few times per year. That’s just part of the American dream.

        I live in this weird little cut of houses tucked in the woods but between three different neighborhoods in the city. One day I was raking leaves and found a loaded Glock with an extended mag someone must’ve just chucked at my house.

        It was actually in pretty decent shape but no way am I keeping a potentially hot gun.
