    Do tell. How are "libwingers" responsible for soaring real estate prices? Seems to me that's more a function of greed by real estate investors and developers (which is natural and to be expected) and banks providing the financing to make these inflated prices sustainable, since that helps make the homes affordable to a certain extent/class of buyer in spite of the inflated prices.

    I mean Literally in every meaning of the word this happened. #1 he dictates smart. #2 he claims this


    Ivory Towers were constructed from whom? Hard workers...Majority of them democrats.

    Supporters of this dude named Trump, demonstrate TDS.

    Of course you have a link to provide to back up your claim?
    He's fat enough where you dress him up in a red suit and white beard and he could pass for Santa. Although he'd do a better job being the grinch.

    Zoning restrictions, for one. San Fran limits the heights of buildings being built, so that keeps supply low. I know libs don't comprehend how supply and demand effect price, so ask someone.

    affect

    And this will only affect apartment complexes and condominiums. How would it affect home prices, which are insanely high everywhere relative to incomes? The problem with supply and demand is, as I have already outlined, the supply is snatched up by the wealthy and resold or rented out for profit, pricing many right out of the market.

    Overall housing supply is limited.

    I told you to ask someone for help on the whole supply/demand thing.

    Derp!

    And you think it's limited by some local ordinances on how high buildings can be constructed? You don't think there are other factors? You think that such restrictions are purely a Democrat or liberal idea, when in reality there is no reason for a Democrat or liberal to have particular feelings about this? You're being rather silly.

    Why couldn't it be Rich conservatives ? You think there is none in San Francisco or NYC ?

    The divisiveness that Trump has sown on America beginning with his campaign is the downfall of our country.............

    How to Live in Your Car to Save Money: 8 Easy Steps to Get Started

    1. Buy a Car

    You might be thinking, “Duh!” But you need to really consider what kind of car you’ll be living out of. If you don’t have the funds to purchase a larger car (in the event you have a compact car) then you’ll have to make do with what you have.

    However, if you can come up with some money to purchase a larger vehicle, by all means go for it. Purchasing a van is your best option. The reason is because of the excess room. You can also purchase the vans with no windows in the back for ultimate privacy.

    Also, you may want to consider a vehicle with a sunroof. The stars will be your free entertainment most nights, and the sunroof also is a great way to provide ventilation since living in a car will obviously get stuffy.

    2. Set Up a Mailbox

    You will need to have a place to gather your mail. Which means you’ll need to do one of three things:

    First, if you have the ability of setting up a mailbox on your current land, then do so. At least you can easily get your mail and also have a way of keeping all of your information up to date.

    Second, you can set up a PO Box. That way you can go and gather your mail at the same location and also have a way of keeping your identification up to date.

    The final option is to ask a friend or family member if you could use their address for a while. That way you can still get your mail and also have a way of updating your address.

    Also, you may want to consider setting up a safe deposit box at your bank to store valuable items. Living in your car isn’t going to be a very secure place so you’ll need to consider this if you have anything that is worth a lot of money or just means a lot to you.

    3. Keep Everything Up to Date

    Keeping your information up to date is a huge deal. The reason is because you are living out of your car. Unfortunately, you are going to get strange looks and possibly run into some issues with the police because they’ll need to verify that you are not a squatter.

    So it is important to keep your driver’s license, personal ID, conceal carry permit (CCW) and car insurance up to date and easily accessible at all times. It also wouldn’t be a bad idea to keep any legal documents showing that the property you are on is your own easily accessible.

    4. Personal Protection
    You are going to be living in a car, not Fort Knox. So it is important to think about protecting both you and your vehicle.

    For your vehicle, consider buying a steering column lock. That way it will make it nearly impossible for someone to steal your car. In most cases when someone’s car is stolen it is only a piece of property.

    But in your case, that is all you have to depend upon to keep yourself out of the elements. Do what you can to make it as difficult as possible to steal.

    Also, explore any options of self-protection that you feel comfortable with. This could be anything from (responsibly and legally) owning a gun to keeping a can of mace on hand. Just realize that you could become an easy target to a criminal or MS-13 if you're living in a sanctuary city because of your living situation. A M-4 carbine is a better choice than a full size AR-15. 18" barrel 12 ga. coach gun has been popular for 160 years.

    5. What to Do if You Can’t Park on Your Land
    Relocate to a city run by liberals.
    You are living out of your car because of failed liberal policies. Poop on the sidewalks of liberal cities.

    6. What to Do About Hygiene
    When it comes to showering, consider visiting your local recreation center or purchasing a membership to a gym if you are close enough to a town to do so.

    If you are not, then you need to look for a body of water on your property. If this isn’t an option, then you need to hit the interstate in search of rest areas that provide shower facilities or truck stops that provide showers as well.

    For the issue of a bathroom, you have multiple options right where you are.

    First, you could build an outhouse with very few materials. If you have a wooded area on your property, then you are probably better off just making use of that.

    However, do remember that it is proper pioneer technique to dig a hole first so you can easily cover your area up and keep anyone from stepping in your waste.

    Second, you could always use this idea of a camping toilet. You just need a five-gallon bucket and a pool noodle. Then you’ll have a portable toilet.

    Again if you are in a city run by liberals just do it in the road.

    7. Items You Need
    [​IMG]
    Things you will need if you are going to live in your car are pretty basic. You’ll need a pillow, blanket, and if your car is large enough, a mattress.

    You’ll also need a backup battery and air compressor in case you have a failed battery or a flat tire. If your car is your only means of shelter, then you’ll need it to work properly.

    Next, you’ll need food. Remember, you don’t have refrigeration so you’ll have to eat simple. Having staples on hand like peanut butter and crackers, or food for sandwiches will sustain you for a short period of time.

    However, if you’d like to cook over an open fire, then you can always go to the grocery store every day or so and store the food in a cooler with ice.

    Finally, you’ll need an adaptor for your car and a good quality flash light. The flash light is obviously to help you see when it’s dark, and the adaptor is to charge things like a cell phone and lap top. Don’t forget ear plugs as well. If you are forced to sleep in parking lots the noise of other vehicles could potentially keep you awake.

    Don't forget, can opener, matches, toilet paper, "Will work for food" sign, "Ass grass gas...nobody rides for free" bumper sticker, Obama "Change you can believe in" bumper sticker and one of these bumper stickers -> [​IMG]


    Well, there you go guys. Now you have a few practical tips and what you’ll need to consider if you decide to live out of your car if you're in California or any city run by liberals.

    San Fran is on a peninsula. It is landlocked.

    The only way to increase housing is vertically.

    Simple math question for you: on any given plot of land can you get more housing in a 4 story building, or a 40 story building?

    Since simple supply and demand economics are over your head, I'm not confident in your ability to grasp the simple math above.

    You are a genius and your mathematical capabilities could save the USA. Rush to Washington and prostrate yourself before Trump and expound in his ear.

    Thread fail.

    I'm waiting for the California liberals to start confiscating 2nd homes like they have been doing in Sweden.

    Oprah has way too many empty rooms at her mansion.

    Ah, Geolibertarians would agree with you.

    As free market economist Milton Friedman said, "The least harmful tax is the property tax on the unimproved value of land, the Henry George argument of many, many years ago."

    Trump already does that for his own taxes. He pays zero.

    Trump has done little other than blather to supporters and offend USA's friends. The economy would have been just as good with anyone else or no one else.

    Where I used to live, you'd have to drive a LONG way to be able to find a lot for $10,000.
    A couple hours at least.

    It would be pretty hard to find a lot for even $80,000.
