[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I used to have a handful of college rental houses right off campus. Zero frills just solid and safe older houses. The students used to group up, find them, sign their own leases, fix things they broke. They were happy, funny, adventurous and cool to know. I felt like I was providing half their education with a place they could learn how to manage and grow. They became totally independent.

That all changed in the early 2000’s. I sold the last house last year. I hate the parents and the kids have very few redeeming qualities.

It’s the ridiculous and illogical expense. The money for college could be scrounged up… the drinking age was 18… the kids were physically resilient and healthy.. they built party stages in the rental house yards..went on road trips with almost no money..

Now it’s like a concierge service and they live on their phones oblivious to reality.

A college degree today is a badge that identifies a difficult and stress inducing employee. The candidate must prove they aren’t a soul sucking consumer of precious resources and producer of fecal matter.[/quote]
