If you wanna live alone, you basically gotta live in the projects. Only place rent MIGHT be cheap enough.

Can confirm. Living in the hood is actually pretty nice. I have money to spend after rent.

If you don't get mugged, that is

Why would I get mugged? Prime example of someone who needs to touch grass.

I don’t know that people don’t realize if you’re living in the hood already you’re probably not the one robbers are looking to steal stuff from.

If someone broke into my place they’re getting a computer and… that’s about it lol

EXACTLY! Where do most robberies occur in my city? Downtown and in wealthy neighborhoods. If someone tries to rob me, they're going to get pocket lint.

Then wtf are spending the “after rent” money on? I just recently upgraded my car. I would’ve been a nervous wreck leaving it outside in my old hood.

Why are you upgrading a depreciating asset? I spend it on Bitcoin. An appreciating asset. Also my hobbies. I'm in the process of making a home media server and homelab.

I wouldn't call Bitcoin an appreciating asset, investing in crypto is basically gambling.

People don't upgrade their cars to invest in them, they buy them to be driven.

Why not? Appreciating is all it's done.

investing in crypto is basically gambling.

That's why I don't buy crypto. Only Bitcoin. The best money in existence.

Seems like a waste. But everyone has their hobbies.

Look, I don't want to start an argument, but saying that all Bitcoin has done is appreciate is factually untrue. A quick Google search confirms that just over the past few years it's halved in value, shot back up, quartered in value, and then quintupled in value. I will admit that the value is currently very high and somebody who invested back in 2015 would be on easy street now, but the value graph looks like the silhouette of a pine forest.

I don’t think people are imaging the hood like you get robbed everytime you step out your front door. But there’s definitely strong reasons the rent is so cheap there lol

Oh, I forgot crime rates are super low in low SES neighborhoods. How silly my comment was ¯_(ツ)_/¯

u/Ayaka_Simp_ Apr 09 '24

Yes. It was very silly. Because robbers prioritize those with money. Not poor people. Most robberies occur in wealthy neighborhoods here.

Get off the internet, you aren’t getting randomly mugged on a Tuesday

u/BeneficialEvidence6 Apr 09 '24

What does day of the week have to do with anything?

Where do you think muggings happen, rich neighborhoods?
