We locked in at just under 3% for a 20 year mortgage; it'll wind up costing less than half what a 30-year at current rates would, at a lower payment.
If they really wanted to make home ownership affordable they'd do low/no interest government loans for owner-occupied housing.

Screw a 50 year mortgage
There are so many ways to drive down the cost of home ownership that are better for society, but they'd make landlords and bankers upset so they're never taken seriously
Make houses cheaper by increasing supply, not by creating more personal debt at bubble prices

Discourse voice: transmisogyny affects him deeply because as a cis man who posts rape porn at women, he needs people to understand the trans women he victimizes are women — otherwise people might think he's gay, which ascribes the wrong sexual orientation to him and is basically conversion therapy.

90% of the worst queer discourse is driven by people either in the closet or otherwise terrified about what committing to their authentic selves means for their lives, and while we should be patient and loving to these folks we need to stop taking them seriously

Democrats Can’t Blame Trans People for Their Own Failures

Stunning story by @jesspish.bsky.social: He became the most famous sheriff in the U.S. after his hunt for his wife's "real killers" inspired a $60 million 1973 blockbuster ($430 million in today dollars). It was all a lie and his hometown can't deal.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.
