No thanks.

There's still a bunch of those in the city, but the upstairs are just rentals/apartments.

>>56752647
Nigga. it sucks living above your family biz. it can fuck up your life.

>>56752647
It also made the most sense economical, when you own the house you live and make business in you have a huge advantage to renters

In covid, renting restaurants were the first to go down, the ones owning their location are still here

>>56752678
your stupid wants should have been smacked out of your dumb head when you were a kid, your parents failed you

I had a chance 5 years back to buy a 2 story home like this in a rare residential / commercial zoning. But the homeless had taken over and it was near a paint factory. It was only 270k too. The thought of having to defend my business at night from zombies doesn’t sound so good. This would have been great 100 years ago.

>make bank helping your family in reg working hours
>do own hobbies after hours
Wow so hard

>>56752799
there are no after hours you fucking child. when you own your own biz.. you are there 80-100 hours a week.

>>56752647
People don't realize this shit doesn't work because of 99% of housing being suburbs depreciates their infrastructure. Society is just too easy to fuck with retarded laws in favor of greedy retards who cannot see the bigger picture. There is zero hope just survival.

>>56752823
Sleep less then. Theres 24 hours in a day and you only need 4-5 to live. There's at least 40 hours of doing your own stuff.

Most musicians have day jobs before making it big (exclude rap artists from that though).

>>56752647
this is still the normal way of life in most of asia

>>56752823
Are you talking about the tards who consider managing their business remotely and 'customer engagement' as work hours?

>>56753119
No it isn't? The Asians are the worst for being apartment jews.

Reported for racism

>>56752647
Yes this is a great way of business. You must know though that Boomers did not throw it away. Their parents threw it away and Boomers grew up and went along with it. Then later on some Boomers realized that something was wrong with that they were doing.

>>56752710
Many businesses in America took PPP loans and got COVID handouts then closed shop to cash in while claiming covid did it.

>>56752647
This way of living would've inevitably been phased out by technology anyway, like how cities are basically worthless now because of remote meeting and jobs, except to house 3rd worlders.

>>56752678
jews did this. now everybody wants to be influencers. is this favorable?

Boomers are exceptionally stupid. My mom and her siblings inherited 23 acres of developed land and a 4 bedroom 2 bath house. Found a realtor on facebook. The realtor lady told them it was worth at least $370K. They put $12K into a new ac. Put $8K into a new driveway. Realtor offers to buy the entire estate for $250K. Of course, boomers accept. No appraisal was done. After all costs they made like $180K, then paid taxes on that amount and distributed the money between the 4 heirs. They sold my grandpa's life work for 25% of its value. One heir is paying off a Honda CRV. One is putting the cash into a mutual fund that Dave Ramsey promoted. One is giving it to his grown daughters who live in NY and never see him (it will cover less than a year's rent in NY and is split two ways) and my mom is going to put her portion into new carpeting and new appliances. The property value was north of $800K. They all got scammed. The realtor split the acreage into 52 lots and are charging $19K per lot. That's a million dollars. Some fat facebook realtor lady just cleaned up. My mom and her sibilings deserve it, too. The stupidity. My Grandpa always said "A fool and his money are soon parted." He also told my mom that the property could take care of her and the siblings for life. He looked out for them and they threw it away like it was trash.

Your grandpa also failed in raising them, desu. No reason to break your back working while your family grow up as dumbasses, you have to find a balance between working and raising them right.

>>56755731
this pisses me off

>>56753107
>slangin dope
>not a day job

>>56752678
So instead of working your family business by day and indulging your hobbies at night, you'd rather enrich Mr. Shekelstein by day instead, then pay half your income back to him as rent.

>>56752647
True but then I have to live witg grandma and eat beans and read books all day

I own my single family home and my office is across the street. One block from town center.

This is what white privilege looks like whether you want to accept it or not.

>>56752647
I also live in a place like that, and that actually helped me to get some extra money every vacation when I was still young once my father passed away i got to be the manager of the store and the ncrypto became popular, got some nfts and i guess now i cant rent those mf to some other naive as i was before, how come no one else but IQ prot tought about it before ffs lol

>>56755731

I have a similar story. My friend's aunt inherited a huge sum of money from his uncle's life insurance payout and spent the money on paying off the house. Good right? Well, now the kids (friends cousins) are adults and paying are $2500 a month renting from Jews because the Aunt sold off the property to fund her travel lifestyle. Leaving her kids with nothing.

It's amazing that certain generation of people have the audacity to take everything the previous generation worked for and leave the next generation not only with nothing, but most likely liabilities from having to go into debt to sustain themselves. All the while the 'boomers' had the most opportunity out of any generation and still remotely sound money. If you were born in 45-65 and weren't completely stupid anything you did made millions of dollars even as simply as buying a house.

Time and again they abandon their parents into care homes and liquidate all their generational assets to fund short term hedonism. Our culture needs to be completely destroyed so the few remaining strong can restart from the beginning.

Paki landlord makes more money renting the upstairs to a single mum

I don't understand what you are talking about, I sleep under a bridge and use 4chan on an android phone

>white privilege
>he's probably not even a nigger
shut the fuck up, you don't have a voice in here

>>56757047
I will not read such a bible

>>56757039
Boomers are a complete pest, idk where we went sideways

No humanity threw it away because everyone wanted kids and now you have a planet with 3 billion people too many (maybe even more) and we can barely sustain ourselves because the Jews and other powerful entities simply cannot stop slurping up wealth instead of improving infrastructure.

>>56757039
You are a huge part of the problem bro, just so you know.

>>56757039
Embarassing.
Not even (You) eats this shit up anon. C'mon now.

>>56757066
some of us still have some luck

>>56755901
Is that so bad to you? You're most likely loved by your grandparents faggot, mine is a psychopath

>>56755731
interesting.
i'm pretty sure i would go on a murderous rampage on my own family if that ever happened to me. i already detest them with a deep burning passion so this would tip me over the edge i'm sure.

>>56757097

Sorry anons but like it or not en-ef-tees ARE the future! So better stop being mean and adapt!

>>56754731
Because there was no certainty about when restrictions would be lifted. It made more sense to close business before debts piled up, and maybe reopen later. We should have gone into total lockdown for 3-4 weeks to smoke out cases early on, and then locked down borders until the rest of the world caught up. Drawing it out made it exponentially worse even if you don't believe the virus itself was that bad.

Duh. Have you not paid attention to demographics? Suburbs are cancerous and wasteful but the truth is I'd rather live in a cookie cutter McMansion and have to drive everywhere than risk my life in a city packed with "peaceful" refugees and/or ni- er, I mean, "socioeconomic factors." And most people feel the same way even if they won't admit it. Boomers were just trying to make sure they and their children would grow up in a safe environment.
