This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Even just the 90s was crazy. Not calculated with inflation because I'm bad at maths but my folks' house they bought in 1992 has more than quintupled in value.

I know someone who's house value went up by 440% of her mortgage payment every month for 10 years.

Imagine getting paid four fucking fold on your rent. Jesus Christ.

And this is exactly why we can't have affordable housing. All these boomers go from wealthy retirees to hungry tent dwellers like the rest of us.
