Now can you learn from a source of better information than you had hitherto possessed?

I am doubtful, but your 227th chance starts now.

Fucking ferret face.

Mod who does research rather than express uninformed opinions.

No wonder you want me to "shhhhh..." - you despise being called out for your ignorance.

Kid, I wouldn't argue about suicide if (a) you weren't full of shit but expressing your bogus opinions anyway and (b) I had not spent much of the last 40 years working with suicidal folks.

But you are and I have.

That you continue to have the patience to argue with that dolt is to either your everlasting credit or everlasting shame, Josh.

As if "young and pretty" was ever protection from anything including one's own foibles.

I speculate two trends will result.  One, the Tiny House movement is really going to accelerate.  Two, we will see a culture shift towards multigenerational homes, as has been long the tradition in Asia. 

Our young neighbors are also following the trend to add a roommate who sleeps in a non-conforming bedroom.  Originally it was set up for two people, then the landlord allowed them to create a BR in the basement.

A surprisingly well done article for its length:
https://www.cnn.com/2022/07/14/health/signs-someone-is-suicidal-wellness/index.html

But nothing surprising.

On the issue of housing, as I have stated, I think that high density apartments that are built and designed nice, with swimming pools, and tennis courts, etc, like in Santorini, Greece, built in cheap locations like Battle Mountain, Nevada, are the way of the future in America.

In the cities we can have towers with the poor people on the bottom floors and the rich people can live on the top floors, and there can be a swimming pool on the roof, etc, like Empire West in West Hollywood.

And HUD needs to build like crazy.

Of note, here in California housing is so expensive that people share housing because it is all that they can afford, there are people here in my apartment complex with the parents and 4 kids living in a 1 bedroom apartment, there are whole families living in a 1 bedroom apartment.

In Italy people are having multigenerational homes, and many Latinos here in California have multigenerational homes. Of note, for many people their Grandparents do childcare, there are many benefits of multigenrational homes.

Salute,

Tony V.

You are spot on all of that.

I just hope you do not live in a flood zone.

The aspiration of owning an electric cargo truck with deployable solar and turbine generators and an ebike that lets you park for a couple of days then move a hundred miles so your upkeep is down to insurance, registration, food, and water may soon outstrip the desire to own a brick and mortar home, at least out here in the south west. The mobile starter home can then evolve to RV or mobile shed duty if the owner does well enough and desires to purchase some land and put a home there. They might keep their living mobile as they develop or preserve their land in other ways.

Ah yes..homes where multi families live...20 and 30 in a house.
The women all stay home and wash, iron, cook, clean, grocery shop, shop...while all the men go out to work all day and half the night.
It's why such folk reportedly "own most of London, are rolling in cash and drive luxury cars".

When mrs bambu toured Japan several years ago, home stays, she slept on the floor in some homes.
Living room turns into a bedroom.
If I got down and slept on the floor I might * never* get up. :)
Some families very traditional, others very westernised, beds.
Some two storey homes, parents living downstairs, their 'married with children' children self contained upstairs.
Living in the same house as your parents forever?
Bring wife to live in parents' home when married?
Not for me, but with unaffordable housing and the cost of everything today, I can see how it could fast become popular.
