An advantage of Hive keychain for mobile is that I can now tell you about my walk as I'm on my walk. I am walking the dogs. I live in East Hollywood and their traditional evening walk oops the dog is pooping now just a second
Okay I'm back. The walk around this block takes me past some very expensive houses if they were in the middle of the nowhere they'd still be nice houses but in the middle of Los Angeles they are all million dollar houses. Now importantly it also takes me pass apartment buildings with rent as low as you can find it in Los angeles. This neighborhood where homeless folks people in apartments and old residents who have had these modest homes for decades live next door to many times multi-millionaires they must be in order to afford these multi-million dollar homes the other dog is pooping now hang on
What was I talking about oh the kinds of homes that are here hey I'm walking past an Apple monitor sitting out on the curb it's got a cracked screen so I suppose it's just trash but it's a funny kind of trash isn't it? There's also that quad Plex there like a two duplexes there had been one house on that it got torn down into much larger houses were built on it I think they're both split into two units anyways that's where a bunch of scientologists live like more than can fit into these admittedly large homes. I think that's still true it was true a couple years ago.. and there was a bus that would come and pick them up and presumably shuttle them up to the Scientology headquarters that are not too far away anyways what's my point here? The Moon is nice tonight I think my point Shira oh Shira okay lots of dogs lots of dogs making dog sounds at each other okay dogs everybody be cool what was the point I was making oh that I like it but it really heightens how ridiculous our societies there are multi-million dollar homes with probably five or six bedrooms each housing couples sometimes families with one child but mostly just professional couples and outside of the six bedroom homes sleep almost folks and their zero bedrooms big sigh I don't know I don't really think the solution is this person and that person oh here's the thing.. here's the thing here's the thing really.. there are two houses big beautiful houses no three my wife told me about another one today all in a row on our block two of them have been empty for a year towards the midpoint of the pandemic some development company bought this house the lady that lived in it took her 1.25 million dollars and I think moved to a less expensive part of California to retire so they don't begrudge her that I just feel like I need to mention that but I do begrudge the developers leaving these buildings empty for more than a year when there are homeless folks on the street they're not going to do anything with it for a while obviously they know that they just spent a year sitting with it empty. Why in the world could they not let somebody sleep in it? I mean I know the reason. There would be no profit in that. We think.. and by we I mean my neighbor has talked to my wife about this and I tend to agree that this seems likely that they're hoping that one of those homeless folks will stay in one of them and when it's cold because there's no electricity or no heat they will light a small fire to keep themselves warm this winter and that they'll be able to collect the insurance money if the home burns down even though they weren't planning to keep the home on the property and then they can use that money to build the apartment building that they would like to build there or whatever it is
