Nick W.<p>America stinks right now.</p><p>It's so many things. More than half of SCOTUS is genuinely nuts. Half of Washington, D.C. is a full-on gerontocracy. The military is out of control on the world stage as per usual, with indiscriminate drone bombings in almost any country that remotely threatens US dominance over their oil imports and US oil exports.</p><p>And here in the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/PNW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PNW</span></a> more specifically the <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/WillametteValley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WillametteValley</span></a> in western Oregon, the high cost of housing including the rental cost for both apartments and townhouses is literally going through the roof. Here in <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/Corvallis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Corvallis</span></a>, we have so much land available and yet much of our zoned land within the city limits is being used to build <a href="https://infosec.exchange/tags/OregonState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OregonState</span></a> grad student housing and also build more luxury apartments that no one but rich foreign students can afford.</p><p>It's this kind of stuff that agitates the political fringe groups such as MAGA to no end. We are more or less giving land handouts to foreigners and also entitled young people who may not deserve an all-expenses-paid-for college education. A lot of others who do not have that access starve on either side of the political spectrum which they hail from, while the politicians are often throwing stones.</p>
