And those are the bullshit government inflation stats, so he definitely got a pay cut.

How do you know? How many good and bad wars has the US been involved in the last 100 years?

In the US, the money is created via the federal revserve and it is done by loaning out money, the only reason inflation rate decreases is that they raise the interest rate so people want less money, so they loan out less money. That money is paid back to the fed, but new money has been made. If you are still interested, I can tell you how this takes away wealth from the poor and middle class.

I dont know what you are talking about.

I do whatever makes sense, and I dont know what each unit would have rented for.

You really think a house costs $50k to build?

Sure dude

I wasnt turning offices into residences. And it would be easy but expensive if the government wasnt so involved.

If you are arguing "Put homeless into empty residential units" that is a really ignorant argument, it instantly falls apart if you look at it.

Uh yeah, there is more to real estate than residential housing... I forgive you for being rude and making false accusation. Let me tell you how the system works because you dont get it and maybe it will help you point your anger in the right direction.

I take old structures that are vacant and renovate them and then sell or keep them, I do mainly offices and shops at this point. I had planned on making an old commercial building into 12 or so small apartments that would be affordable, and downtown of the smallish town I live in. The architect made the plans, they would be expensive but not crazy, the local government would not let me do this and would have cost waaaay too make it worth the cost. If the government was not obstructing development, that would be residential units, but its just storage. The government is the thing that you should be yelling at, not people that cant do the work because of them.

Real estate is a business, it doesnt side with one person or another... I can just explain to you why housing is expensive if you want to know, but I just think you are angry and want to yell at someone. Feel free, but it doesnt help you know the truth.

Alright, I thought I had forgotten all my grade school history there for a second.
