I tried to childproof my house, but the kids kept getting back in.....
Then Gov't stepped in and broke the family farm apart with estate taxes, etc.
My idea has been: Buy up about 200 acres, plant your house smack in the middle, with streets going to every childs house, like a square block. Mommy/Daddy live in the largest house, when they die, next oldest or the child with the most kids get he big house, keep moving up like that.
On the perimiter, 20 ft fence/electrified, moat w/crocks, another fence with the meanest dogs you can get. HOME SAFE.
You have only 1 set of farm equiment/mowers etc., several horse/cows. Why are we wasting so much money on everyone have their own mowers?
Or/build your barn first, live in it. All the while you are digging under the barn for your new home. what property tax?
A large contributor to this has been the absolute free-fall in the middle-class birthrate; young people who can’t find decent work aren’t marrying/having children (for that and legal/cultural reasons). This generation of young people will probably never be in the market for a home (after watching what happened to their predecessors, who had the employment thing pulled out from under their feet), so the amnesty will have to be used to get someone in the existing and future homes - not just to buy homes, but to support the “public education industrial complex” and other businesses.
