@nedryun@CynicalPublius Urban land is either too expensive or in need of “remediation “. Unfortunately due to the government it’s cheaper to chew up farmland.
One thing we have going for us: the commies always overreach and it comes back to bite them. LA mayor's election is so obviously fraudulent, everybody notices.
When I was making good money, there was no escape. Income taxes were my largest expense by far. But I never elevated my lifestyle too much. Now I’m retired early off the money I didn’t spend and have discovered living off financial assets is way more efficient tax-wise than regular income.
