(The "field" part is a joke. This is a science site, after all)
Lincoln is a shit pile for the poor. Housing speculators have ruined the city. The vultures have swooped in from around the country, and have bought up every single (previously) low-priced house they could get their greedy hands on. A house gets bought for $90,000 in September, it is then back on the market for $115,000 in December. A year ago, people were buying houses for $100,000 then charging $125,000 a month later. Often, only a cosmetic tweak (like a laid rug ) was the difference.
I saw houses get bought by one out-of-state speculator, then sold to a secondary speculator.
This is what happens when your state goes through the pandemic with the lowest unemployment in the nation - every step of the way.
(Lincoln was just reported to be at 1.1% unemployment, but I thought it was closer to 4%. Nebraska is at 1.8%. Both are historical records for all places, at all times.)
The speculation started about 18 months ago.
My solution:
(This is an old position, of my own, but it is clearly stamped "necessary")
Make it a law that you cant own a residence unless you live in it for at least 90 days a year.
No exceptions. No exemptions.

I've had enough LamarkNewAge rants.
Other admins may feel otherwise, but I'm not moving this to the Coffee House.

Re: Adminnemooseus rejects topic
Phat has been farting about inflation for a while now.
Economists used to say that any unemployment rate under 5% spelled inflation.
It is about 1% in my city of 300,000 people.
And there is, indeed, inflation.
Why is Phat, now, refusing to phart out loud?
