As I wait in line at a local branch of the Orange County’s Credit Union on December 1st so that I can get a cashiers check for rent, I reflect on the fact that I’ve performed this act twelve times this year alone.
I can see the two men ahead of me both wearing construction safety vests – and one is even wearing a hard hat – are holding personal checks (presumably for depositing into their own bank accounts) with “Rent” in the memo. I had hypothesized recently with a friend that it seems most blue collar workers who are buying houses work in the trades and my observation of these two men bolsters the evidence. Yet, both men seemingly still need tenant subsidized incomes to exist in Orange County.
To do nothing and receive profit is the unsustainable American Dream.
