the place i moved into on may 10th, which has been a disaster, just provided me with a functional $4000-$4500 settlement, with a possibility for an extra $2000-2400 coming. i will need to sign a lease to get the extra $2400.

i have another $1200+ coming from the cdb. i'm asking for $10000+ on my hearing on nov 4th.

the price of small houses in windsor is viciously crashing to well under $200K, and they aren't selling. if i wait a few more months, property values could conceivably start collapsing to under $150K, as the canadian economy burns and disintegrates, as we rapidly devolve to a third world economy under mark carney's pro-market / market fundamentalist mismanagement. as chomsky said, free markets are great...for developing economies. it's a third world economic system that generates poverty and inequality, and we're embracing it head-on in canada, even as we escaped the carnage of it in the last decades, and even as the rest of the world is retreating from it. leave it to canada to evade the mistake the rest of the world made in the 80s and 90s, only to make that exact same mistake 30 years later, while everybody else is learning from it and trying to move on.

due to these settlements allowing me to generate some savings, and prices crashing, i'm seriously considering buying a small house in windsor.
