    Shells are artificially inflated because they aren’t valued as a “home” but rather as an “investment”

    And investment makes money, so snails with money can afford to pay more than the shell is worth as a “home”

    If a shell were not allowed to be used as an “investment” the prices would go down substantially, even if they weren’t forced to be sold.

    If they were forced to be sold, the prices would drop even further as all of a sudden there would be a flood of *people" trying to sell their shells to a limited number of slugs, who would then only choose the best deal for themselves.

    The slugs may not have been able to be approved for a loan for a $500k shell but only for a $300k shell, but there were no $300k shells available and if they were, they were complete crapheaps In a bad neighbourhood so renting a shell was the more logical choice.








  • Someone also needs to start a fourth party at the same time which is socially left but fiscally right. A lot of conservatives don’t give a shit about the social aspect of the Democrats but just like the financial side of Republicans more so they vote that way instead.

    A 4 party system is better than 3 party, and this way instead of a third party syphoning votes from only Democrats you’ll have another party syphoning votes from Republicans at the same time so there’s no downside.
