Comfortably
I'm not trying to humblebrag but being able to be comfortable financially after growing up in a trailer on the Island and upgrading to a basement suite in Surrey feels pretty good. Buying my own house felt better than losing my virginity.
This is why we need to press for legislation and policies in our OWN country to allow people our own age and younger to realize the dream of owning our own houses. There is a 600+ page thread on Vancouver's real estate for a reason.
Nobody wants to be told to move to a bumfuck in Manitoba just so they can break the cycle of being a permanent renter. I'm sure the towns are nice but I'll be fucked if I have to live in a place where the only source of entertainment is getting stoned in a gas station parking lot.
But that was MY motivation for staying in a place as hot and as sweaty as Satan's taint. Home of
lawnmowers on the freeway and
giant spools on your commute. A place covered in refinery grime and without zoning laws so you can pick the kids up from the elementary school after downing a few in the strip club next door. There are beautiful places in Texas but... uh... Houston ain't one of them. But I digress
Texas is fucked (politically) because one party keeps fucking it.
The guy who passed the civil rights legislation that ended the Jim Crow era was from Texas. The first (elected) female governor was elected in Texas. The first Hispanic mayor elected to a major city was in Texas. All of them were Democrats.
The United States has a Republican problem and Texas is so in love with the fucking elephant party that the majority of people can't break free from getting fucked because they like the feel of its big grey dick.
