Yeah if this describes Sliver, then I retract my supp- wait, no, I reiterate my support in even stronger terms, because maybe then he'll send his helicopter to get me and we can hang out on his yacht!
Anyway, my original post wasn't really denying that there are broader ramifications in certain communities for people buying property and then not living in it, it is simply my immediate reaction whenever I see posts that, in effect, try to chastise people for having a vacation place to go to. That GMG. And I can't help but read Bill Bumface's umbrage the same way.
If you're buying up property at scale to hold and flip or rent out at exorbitant rates and thereby driving up rental prices that's one thing, but I'm pretty sure Sliver just wants to pack the car up on Friday and go have a beer on his deck while looking at the mountains. IMO there's nothing the least bit wrong with having that as a life goal, or achieving said life goal, and the busybodies suggesting otherwise... yeah, look, I can't help it. You just seem jealous to me.
