Topix Underground

I have been saying for years that their should be a drive to build small houses that are as affordable and easily obtainable as possible instead of building groves of these over-sized, over-priced McMansions on under-sized, treeless lots that cost eight hundred grand a copy. We don't need socialism. We just need to be able to reasonably afford housing, cars, groceries and med.

My old house was a 1000 sf bungalow and the old guy that lived next door told me they were built for the soldiers that returned from WWII. It was awesome. Two bedrooms, one bath and one in the basement.  There was like a weird bungalow room upstairs with slanted ceilings. I think the lot was 50 feet wide and 75 feet deep. Detached garage, deck. I made it nice. It was 40 g's - $215 a month. - that's 116,000 and $621 a month in today's dollars - and THAT is the way it should be for starter homes now.

It's ridiculous. There's two big tv's in this house - the one I stuffed in the fireplace and one hanging on the wall in the bedroom (by a thread).  One's like a 'Fire' tv and the other is some Samsung deal with a whole different set of channels. It's overwhelming. So I bought this 10" tv. If I set the rabbit ears on the sill of my dope-smoking window, I get like fifty channels from Detroit, Toledo, Canada, etc. It has laid to rest my tv-watching anxieties.  It was like sixty bucks. That, coupled with the fifteen dollar ounce of reefer, has made me feel secure in life, like a wealthy man. That's how pathetically small my universe has become.

It's all I need. I could live in a garden shed with this thing and like a toaster oven.
