    I’m not a landlord but the taxes go up every single year. Home insurance goes up every single year. Both often by a lot. Compared to 2019 my taxes are up 45% and my home insurance is up 500%.

    The land value is up purely because they ain’t making any more of it.

    The cost to repair everything goes up every year. A part of my washing machine broke again. Part was $20 in 2017. Part was $60 4 months ago. Post Tarifs it will probably be closer to $100. Nevermind the labor if I can’t DIY.

    Plenty of reasons for costs to go up each year.

    Real question is :

    Why the fuck aren’t the wages going up?

    If that too kept up with inflation since the 1970s then we’d all be happier then pigs in shit.
