Whenever I see articles that appear to address the needs of people with housing, I jump on them.  Important stuff, right?  Why do the authors make the articles difficult to understand? The above linked article, for example, is full of jargon.  Jargon is a form of language that is typical to a certain industry.  Even if outsiders know the individual words, they do not know them used in that wat.  Jargon is like formalized slang for an industry.  If you want to be understood by people who are not housing professionals, you would use clear, simple language.  As few words as possible.  But no!  An article that is, presumably, supposed to help people obtain what they need, forms a discouraging barrier to info.  Are they required to publicize this news, but they don’t truly want people to know how to get housing that has been wrongfully withheld. Or am I just being paranoid?

I know oe from life experience that people with low incomes might qualify for section 8 vouchers. The government pays most of the rent for apartments that are in the community.  Instead of putting low income people in one spot, or “project,” people are anonymously living all over the place.

The problem has been that landlords do not want to rent to low-income people.  I have no opinion that I am expressing here.  I will say that one landlord told me they do not rent to Section 8 people because the housing comes too easily to them and they do not value it. Landlords say their places get trashed by people who have an “easy come, easy go attitude.” So I have heard.

I thought the linked storu would tell me how this perception is being handled.  As of now, 30% of people who qualify for these “vouchers” can’t find anyone to rent to them. 30%!  That’s huge.

Please read the article and give an opinion. They do not explain why people can’t get housing and the proposed solution, the way I believe I just did.  Am I missing the clarity? Or is it that people do not want low-income people to have the info they need to live anywhere?

The “American Dream” costs $5 million to cover 8 parts.

Source: WIBC 93.1 FM https://share.google/zSh1oXQqudAL9HLaP

What is the American Dream?

According to major news outlets, there are i parts yo the dream:

  • Retirement
  • Homeownership
  • Cars
  • Putting 2 kids through college
  • Vacations
  • Healthcare
  • Pet ownership
  • Wedding ($38,000)

I was pleased by the recognition of pet ownership.  I was surprised that a wedding made the list. People have found another reason to feel surprised by this list.  People make half of the $5 million needed over zero lifetime to fund everything.  Regular people, I mean.

MY LIST

  1. Life-long learning in formal settings.
  2. Pet ownership
  3. Starting a business
  4. Annual travel to a new destination
  5. Owning a home
  6. Healthcare
  7. Mutual support of friends and family
  8. Life-long saving
  9. Community investment

This is the list I want.  In the first list, we only spend money on ourselves and extensions of ourselves.  There is no community-mindedness in the “American Dream.” Moreover, there is no thought of education once we are adults.  I don’t believe education had to stop. Nor do I see myself as someone who quits work.  There is something vital to our self-worth when people count on us to show up.  It is important that we can run the risk of being late–instead of no one caring if we appear. I think it matters less what kind of job we have, as long as we are doing something someone feels is worth paying us to do.

Others will have a different list. Many people would put tithes and offerings to their church as a part of their dream.  The fact that I can choose to leave that out is part of the freedom of religion we Americans hold dear, and writing about it embodies freedom of speech. 

I want to own a home. But maybe my home should be a boat or an RV to combine home and travel.

What’s your American Dream? Can you afford the life of your dreams?

Here’s a question no one asks: how can we help others make their dreams come true? That is my dream as a real estate agent in Hawaii.
