yeah but we have slumlords and people from out of state buying up all our buildings. the house next to mine was bought and sold by three separate companies all based in New Jersey over the last year.

honestly between that and the political ads put out by companies in Texas around elections it really feels like we're getting fucked with. we really need something to replace coal or our towns are on their way out.
