Why I bought a house

From Spokane News:

900 East Sitka Ave, Assault Reported. Reported male cut a hole through his apartment into another apartment and was caught by the resident in the other apartment. Police arrived and male fought with Police and now detained.

The new Facebook explainer bots don’t offer any fake explanations or point-missing fake questions about this event. Not by coincidence, this apt is in the same complex as the double murder I mentioned earlier. Also not by coincidence, this apt complex is badly managed by Spokane’s only billionaires, the Douglass family, who are engaged in a dramatic battle of heirs and wills, worthy of a Phillip Marlowe detective story.

Owning a house is more expensive in money and labor, but there’s a closed loop between the cost and the benefits. In an apartment you can’t control fires, noise and intrusions, no matter what you do.
