This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

A lot of older generations own a house pretty much

It's easier to put into perspective when you look at how much cheaper houses were before they got bought up by private equity
