Well now I’ve got the banana song stuck in my head… (from memory so if I got any wrong, too bad)
Charlie, you look quite down, with your big sad eyes and your big fat frown, the world doesn’t have to be so gray.
Charlie, when your life’s a mess; when you’re feeling blue, always in distress, I know what will wash your sad away.
All you have to do is put a banana in your ear, you will never be happy if you live your life in fear.
It’s true, so true, when it’s in the world is bright and clear, the bad in the world is hard to hear when in your ear a banana cheers, so go and stick a banana in your ear!
ETA: video, cuz then I had to go listen to it anyway. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=EqwYzi_IG6k
We also need smaller houses damnit! Or more duplexes of reasonable size. We need more 2-4 family properties.
Not tiny houses, not 300sqft nonsense buildings that cost more to have as standalone units…
We need more 1-2 bedroom starter options, and fewer of the 4-6 bedroom micromansions that everyone builds because it’s more worth the money from a development side. Nobody can afford those things as first time buyers.
And while we are at it, we need more apartments that can be purchased like condos or houses. Rent is all well and good for short term, but people should have long term ownership options even in big cities if they will be there for a while. It’s absurd your choices are basically rent and be at the whim of your landlord, or buy a standalone.
