@shagbark_hick Ogdensburg is a great little town with lots of friendly people and decent infrastructure. Also happens to have the greatest karting track in the northeast (New York Race Complex).

Imagine: You buy the $49k house in Ogdensburg, NY. You take the $40k/yr part-time job as a TSA agent at the federally-subsidized airport there that only sees ~40 passengers per day.
You're pulling $2500/mo. Your mortgage is $375. Your job is so easy you read all day at work.
Take long walks along the St Lawrence River, go to Mass at the Cathedral -- take the train up to Ottawa now and then for a long weekend. Hunt deer in the State Forest, fish trout on the Oswegatchie River. Hang out at the VFW and have breakfast at Phillip's.
It'd be an objectively fine life, and you could start living it next week if you liked -- as long as you had a credit score of 600 and 3.5% of $49,000 plus closing costs; let's call it $4,000 cash. Pass a drug test for TSA.
Boom -- federal bennies for an easy PT job, $1500/mo in spending money or savings. Absurd amounts of free time. Quick access to a major Canadian metro of 1M+. Could leave the wife at home and have a whack of kids, too -- no problem.
The only thing you really *can't* do there is LARP as Gordon Gecko or trick yourself into thinking you'll weasel your way into the power elite. I guess that's enough to take it off the table for a lot of people -- I don't know.

@AutismCapital Centrally located junior 1-bedroom filled with natural light! Great for commuters - only steps away from the subway.

@DougDeMuro @nicmaquet @GuyDealership @GuyDealership also assumes that a consumer’s new monthly payment (made in a high interest environment) can beat their existing, low interest payment on an overvalued car.
Average consumer thinks in terms of monthly spend, not current asset value.

@nicmaquet @GuyDealership It makes no sense. People have been rolling negative equity into car purchases for decades. @GuyDealership also predicted a Carvana bankruptcy will “collapse” used car prices, even though they hold only 60K cars in inventory vs 40M used car sales last year.

@milessuter when he assumed office in the Senate, the US was still “fighting” the Cold War against the Soviet Union. Reagan’s “Star Wars” program was in full bloom. Might be time for this guy to move on.

Square is considering making a hardware wallet for #bitcoin. If we do it, we would build it entirely in the open, from software to hardware design, and in collaboration with the community. We want to kick off this thinking the right way: by sharing some of our guiding principles.
