Re: [MBZ] serious depression of peoples attitude to their fellow man
While any individual renter may be just fine, there is a statistically significant inverse relationship between property value and percentage of rental homes vs owner occupied. OTOH, you can work it to your advantage after the neighborhood goes to heck. Back in the 1980's I knew a guy who lived in a run down part of Lansing, MI. He fixed his house up, fenced it in, and bred GSD guard dogs in the back yard. Whenever a house on his block would go up for sale, he'd buy it for $20-30k, fix it up, and rent it to somebody he'd want for a neighbor. The idea was to eventually be in control of who all the neighbors were, while being able to retire on the rent proceeds.

When he was doing this, he was a divorced guy with three kids working as a janitor for a nonprofit organization.

That $20k was probably close to twice his annual wage, and every few years he'd pay cash for a new black and gold Continental. Not too bad for a poor undereducated black kid from Mississippi.

Re: [MBZ] serious depression of peoples attitude to their fellow man
It is a good thing you don't hastily generalize. So I guess you have never rented a place, I have but am not a convicted sex felon, drug addict (unless you want to include tobacco), don't make my living off criminal activity, don't move from place to place much but I guess this would make me a minority? Sure we do have bad elements in the rental community of Oz but we have a pretty generous housing scheme and as such the real down and outers are housed by the state and not so much in the private rental market, private renters are generally hard working Aussies or migrants who are saving up to buy a home, or workers who come here to do contract work.

Re: [MBZ] serious depression of peoples attitude to their fellow man
Here in ON Canada, you can get Canadian Guiness or Fosters at the beer store priced like most other domestic beers, but if you want the real stuff, you have to go to the local wine shop where they stock a good selection of imported beer. They also stock real American beer. As some of you may know, beer and wine in Ontario Canada is not available at local food stores, or 7-11 shops, it's all sold through government controlled beer and wine outlet shops. We brew Canadian Bud and Coors and others too. I tend to go for the imported German and Dutch stuff, or just a local brewed brand that's cheap and I can't tell the difference between in and other local stuff costing 1/3 more.

As long as the ham wasn't from Maple Leaf Meats in Canada, you're probably safe.

Re: [MBZ] serious depression of peoples attitude to their fellow man
Yeah that annoys me, lots of Euro beers are now brewed here or Asia under license but still charge a premium. Although I can find cheap Holland beer down the road. Also you will find that the Fosters brewed in other parts of the world is nothing like the stuff brewed in Melbourne, although when I say brewed I mean they get a horse to drink lots of good beer and then pee into foster bottles. Apparently the Fosters in Europe is more of a lagery pilsner.

I usually drink Hollandia which is 30 bucks for 24 330ml bottles, taste the same as Heineken which is about 45 buckaroos. Hendrik who is off to do the BBQ and have a couple of Zipfer beers E M wrote: Here in ON Canada, you can get Canadian Guiness or Fosters at the beer store priced like most other domestic beers, but if you want the real stuff, you have to go to the local wine shop where they stock a good selection of imported beer. They also stock real American beer. As some of you may know, beer and wine in Ontario Canada is not available at local food stores, or 7-11 shops, it's all sold through government controlled beer and wine outlet shops. We brew Canadian Bud and Coors and others too. I tend to go for the imported German and Dutch stuff, or just a local brewed brand that's cheap and I can't tell the difference between in and other local stuff costing 1/3 more.

Re: [MBZ] serious depression of peoples attitude to their fellow man
Here, cheap domestic stuff is about $8.40 for a six pack. The Germany wheat beer is $3.00-4.00 per bottle. A domestic brew of something Canadian, or Miller or Fosters brewed under license is something like $35 for a 24. All Canadian dollars.
