"Borrow" and repurpose the giant battery.

I can only imagine.

I was gonna say you could probably cook pottery in there in the summer without an ac build for a frozen tractor trailer. That's a remarkable amount of solar gain.

Damn.

How? Surely it's not that hot in Flathead.

Yeah, I'm sure the current admin is withholding economic data and job numbers because we're ballin out of control.

The whole country is in a recession and moving is expensive. Displacement isn't really a solution to economic precarity if your options are uncertainty somewhere else.

Fuck em. Bình Minh Sandwiches and Shun Fat it is.

"Getting things done" take time. Most working people that haven't been displaced have a job or two and a gig or two just to make ends meet. It doesn't leave time to work on art, community projects or starting a new business. All the of those contribute to curing that cultural anemia.

Student loans play a factor. Rent share to earnings are just not where they have been historically. It also used to be the case that you could move to Gresham or NoPo or other "less desirable" places (I live in and love NoPo) and save substantially on rent costs. Price fixing near eliminated that.

Must have been a decently nice place for that price at that time. I had roommates until I started making more money too. The younger folks I work with simply don't have the options I did not that long ago. The market is much harder to survive in now.

You made minimum wage with a bachelor's degree?

When you went back to school rent in this city for a single family home was like $400.

In what way has it been resolved? Go work a minimum wage job and try to get a place and tell me how great it is to rent here. We have a national affordability crisis in housing. Portland might be marginally better by some metrics, that didn't mean it's affordable.

To be fair, that is a mall.
