Finding housing that works for you is now as complex as founding a startup. Lifestyle-resources fit. Own or rent, exit = you can last there ~5+ years and come out with net increase in net worth or something.

21 failures to exit in 22 years, and counting. I’m either one of the world’s worst household founders, or one of the world’s best nomads. I don’t expect #22 to last more than 2 years before “failing” in some way.

Trawling Glendale and Hollywood neighborhoods for likely places all morning. Depressing af. I can tell at a glance most options won’t work >2y. Yet I’ll end up in one of these. Feature of my life in 2000 is big in 2020.

Hunt for 22nd apartment in 23 years begins now. 8 cities, 7 states, small biz moved states 3 times.
Not my fault. I’d stay put if I had the mansion which is rightfully mine. It has been denied me by the Hufflepuffs.
How come nobody realizes the Hufflepuffs are the villains?

Pick 2 of 3: acceptable social milieu, material comfort, affordability,
complexity = n^3 where n is number of people who need to arrive at consensus. A married couple is 9x more complex than a single, which is why suggestions from single people make me🙄... they have no clue

Being a landlord is one of my top 5 business-ideas-from-hell. People actually aspire to this smh.

Have you thought of the landlord angle, where you buy a duplex and pay the mortgage with the rental income?

what's the common denominator? what changed vs people who live in places for 5-10 years?

Between wife and me, something always breaks within 2-3 years and one or both of us can’t stand to live there anymore.
