Hi there, have you ever heard of disparity? Like, for example, the way one person can own 3 or even 4 properties, while others will never even own one, ever. Incredible. There are even indigenous people who are homeless in their own tribal lands... Unbelievable? Believe it. In fact, if you ever drive past the Orleans bridge look out upriver and see that sand bar there? Well, some folks were just forced to leave there, which is the allotment granted to their family many years ago before that highway you travel on was even born. That's right. Yeah, there's another house down the way owned by some people who only visit once or twice a year and they thought it was an unsightly scene over there with all the nature and the indigenousness  and so they have been complaining to the government about it for the past six or seven years and finally the people were evicted. Good job America, you are making incredible progress baby!
We don't even have to talk about a local ex-cocaine dealer owns a huge swath of land which is called the Panamaniik and used to house the main village site for the Middle Klamath River Valley... The other half is a cattle ranch. The cocaine dealer stores his heavy equipment on the village site, leaking diesel and compacting it all to hell, which isn't that different from a cattle ranch. But, you know, it was all properly cursed a long time ago when the original deal went down, so they are getting theirs and a new day will dawn.
Well, let's all pray that everyone who has multiple properties takes the initiative to go find a person who doesn't and who never will and let's pray they just give one of those vacant places to that person and never bother them again, except to come say hi on rare occasions and see if they could use some support. Maybe even those people who got those other people kicked out will track down their victims and give them the house that they have been hording all this time for their memorial day weekends.
