What makes your favorite celebrity dipshit YouTube dipshit or TikTok dipshit so special that people do not hate on them for owning properties? The common man wants to own a property and they're evil but there's gonna be some rich asshole owning the apartment complexes you want up.

Someone who's gonna gamble that money at the Encore casino because that's what people who have so much money they can piss it away with do.

That's what dispensary owners do, that's what large property owners do, that's what a lot of people do, they piss it away because they can.

You know who's paying for some of that piss stream? You and renting forever.

I'd rather pay property taxes and excise taxes to a city than know that some building owner is treating a place where people can live as some write off. I'd rather be paying towards my city's new schools and hospitals or the upkeep of them, than some asshole who's gonna tell me I can't paint a wall a certain color, do my floors the way I want to, ffs how big of a toilet I can own!

Nobody is special. All single family homes are wasteful. Suburbia is a breeding ground for Fascism. You sound like a preteen railing against having to do chores.
