Like what the fuck IS this? In order to know anything meaningful about a house, I need it inspected, but to get it inspected I need to fucking put money down AND PAY FOR THE FUCKING INSPECTION and if it's fucked and I don't want to buy it then woops I lose all this fucking money? Jesus fucking christ it's a turbo charged version of the apartment application fee scam. Fucking christ. Who decided on all this bullshit? Infinite guillotines for all of them

This is one of those things that just really go to show the fucked up extremism of the bourgeoisie, like, you could have capitalist hell and still have like mandatory state run inspections, the details of which are public, for every property being sold. But woops, nope, fuck you peasant

You'd think with how this country jerks itself raw over home owners it wouldn't be this way, but WOOPS

This post brought to you by my gf and I being incredibly anxious over maybe buying a house that seems okay but has a slab foundation so like i don't fucking know what condition the plumbing is in

I really liked my old house in CA, especially because it had full grown and abundant fruit trees, but even while going out of my way to avoid being in some HOA grillman shit, the showed up anyway to passive-aggressively volunteer as lawn perfection judges, juries, and even executioners of my pollinating plants, native plants, and edible garden plants by destroying the entire front with one of their glorified mobility scooter mowers while I was out.

I eventually sold it when I moved across the country, but I was fortunate enough to get more for it than I paid for it because of the Silicon Valley-adjacent bazinga bubble continuing to expand.

Wait what they mowed down your plants without your consent in your yard? As a european, what the fuck kinda made up country is that???

I don't know which of my grillman neighbors in particular did it while I was at work, but they were something of an aging Good Old Boys network and just smirked at me, one and all, for weeks afterward.

There really wasn't much I could do.

That’s absolutely insane, my country sure as hell isn’t perfect, but I can’t ever imagine something like that happening here and it not making semi-national news
