    There are a surpluss of houses in the us, because private equity is hoarding it. The total number of vacant houses has gone up every year since 2009.

    Clearly there isnt a population explosion making the housing supply tight and overall empty houses that becoming occupied are being replaced with the now empty house they just moved out of.

    And the empty house to homeless person ratio has been trending up for nearly 2 decades.

    Empty houses are relatively spread out pretty evenly. As in there are always more empty houses than homeless people.

    There’s an average of 38 empty houses per homeless person in the US. California has the lowest ratio and it is still 6 empty houses per homeless person.

    Mississippi has the highest ratio with 205 empty houses per homeless person.



  • I dont know you so I’ll keep my frankest description in a spoiler. But if I were your friend I’d be telling you gotta shoot your shot. Especially if you don’t have resposibilities (ie. Children) that prevent both of you moving from being possible.

    Sometimes things have to be sacrificed to gain happiness. Jobs and Houses can be replaced, and while thats certainly a long term problem, its not an immediate problem. Just plan some long weekends together.

    Your description of a couple countries over makes me think European, if that is not the case and you are instead seperated by an ocean, I still think its worth a shot, it’ll just have to be longer breaks than long weekends.

    You’re clueless, noone messages a 20 year past crush out of the blue without aleast a smidge of the hope of making it work this time.

    And a chicken-shit, what are you scared of? You say you’re passionate and it takes a long time to fall out of love. Not getting it in the open will cause this to fester and grow, and you’ll never get over it.

    I think if you tell her you’re into her and want to see her on your next vacation/long weekend she’ll say yes.
