Whilst this is better than nothing, I'm extremely skeptical of the income thresholds, their definition of middle-class, and the people they think can afford these. They're targeting "teachers, nurses, transit operators, construction workers, small business owners" but the minimum income to rent a studio is $84,780.
Yes it's household income but it still means two people would have to be making $42k plus change a year to qualify to live in something that is under 500 square feet, possibly even smaller as there's no minimum size requirements I can find.
That's almost reasonable for a one-bedroom, but for a studio? One person's income should be enough to qualify for that.
Even the 2+ bedroom income threshold is absurdly high (minimum $67,205/year for two people) and I've never known anyone who makes that much a year in the professions they're targeting outside of small business owners. That and tenured professors but if they're tenured they're either old enough they have their own place already or make enough to comfortably afford rent (if not buy outright).
Like, more housing supply is good! But it's like they looked at the average (not even median) income in BC and are basing the thresholds on that instead of what people in those professions actually make.
B.C. Premier David Eby announced details Tuesday of the long-promised BC Builds program that aims to create middle-income housing on publicly owned land. “Everybody knows British Columbians are struggling to find affordable housing,” Eby said at an event in North Vancouver. “We know the middle class is struggling in our province.” The government has so far focused on helping people falling out of the housing market into homelessness, but too many families are paying half of their income or more on housing, he said. That hurts families and the province’s economy as potential workers can’t find affordable places to live.

#fuck falcon's counter-plan for this#but i'm with furstenau in that this isn't middle-class/is only for specific people#and it doesn't actually help the average bcer because of the income testing#there are other ways to help the people in the targeted professions that doesn't require them to make a certain amount#that the vast majority do not#like i dunno proof of employment/on-going employment in that field#that sure would help in areas where there's mass shortages of those professions given the pay doesn't come close#to covering the cost of living#of which rent is a big chunk of but it's not the sole cost#this just reminds me of the push for condos to 'help the middle class'#but it's all 'luxury' condos that only cost as little as $450k if you pre-buy#in actuality the cost ends up being $700+k unless you can drop a hundred thousand dollars on downpayment#for something you haven't seen and are told it *may* be ready in a year or two#also the build quality is terrible because developers rush development and cut corners to maximize profits#maybe that won't be a problem if the government is involved but i am suspicious that they readily list income thresholds#but can't even give a ballpark size for anything#or even the minimum size they'd require for each tier#because as far as we know the studio could require $84k/year to qualify for#while being a glorified airbnb development that was never intended to be lived in long-term#thus is tiny and <300 square feet and something one person barely manages to live in#to say nothing of the lack of pivacy or how few (if any) friends can come over#'cause being able to have friends/family over for a night is something so many developers no longer think about#it's not about working with size limits to maximize living and social experiences#it's about squeezing as many units as possible into a place and charging as much as possible#which has really really skewed people's idea of what is a realistic size#and realistic amount to charge#especially if they're as far removed from the average person as politicians who are upper class#and haven't had to worry about renting in decades#and still think the teachers/construction workers/etc are middle class instead of lower class#given wage stagnation and refusing to index wages to inflation/the cost of living

a couple of weeks ago, i went to see my nephew at the Kalayaan Residence Hall at the University of the Philippines, to see how he is faring so far. after all, I am his registered guardian and emergency contact. thankfully, he has acclimated to "dorm life" and has learned the ropes of independent living like managing his acads, orgs, laundry, and his daily finances. i told him that dorm life can be both fun and challenging at the same time.
"mag enjoy ka sa college, but be always on guard" i reminded him as we parted ways.
Tumblr media
while driving, i realized parang kailan lang I was once a student at the ateneo and remembered how the fun moments as well as the challenging ones. to be honest, I never saw myself as the excelling type of student. For one, happy an ako if I pass an exam. i was never obsessed with high marks, basta pumasa lang goods na ako. and style ko lang kasi dati, right after class and while waiting for my next professor (usually there is a 15 minute gap) I would start on my homework na and if I find the subject hard, I make use of the consultation hours with my professors to ask them to explain the topic to me. some professors are very generous with their time, especially Dr. Queena Lee-Chua (to whom I owe a lot) while some are grumpy and would usually dismiss me "hindi ba inexplain ko na ito?" I mean what an oxymoron dismissal was that? Had I understood it, I would not have asked in the first place diba? but I learned to be patient and find ways to bridge the gap. the answer was to make friends with the staff at the Rizal Library who were instrumental in helping me find books and reserve them for me. I also owe Ate Alma, the lovely lady who manages the photocopying kiosk at school who makes possible my photocopy and ring bind needs are met on time. Nope, she is not "manang xerox" froshies, she is Ate Alma.
Tumblr media
I also remember my days at the Cervini Hall, the male dormitory of the university. although I made some friends at the dorm, I really did not engage with the residents or my roommates for that matter. I was just there to sleep and study. Until, that video of me having sex inside the dorm went around, which got me packing for another accommodation, this time a flat in front of the school, Prince David Condo. That phase of my life ruined me. The stares I got and the bouts of snickering whenever I passed by. it did not help that some of the members of Doll House (the gay org in school) had bullied me to a certain extent like I was labeled "pamintang durog" and would chant "come out, come out wherever you are" lahat yun I experienced. I don't take it against them really. times where different then, we were kids and stupid. I could have transferred to U.P. but the fear of taking the UPCAT weighed heavily which made me stay. Besides I was already in third year, and I could still muster enough grit for two more semesters.
Tumblr media
condo living liberated me of the added pressure of being a campus whore. You see, I never told my parents that I signed up for a lease. all that time they assumed I was safe in the campus dorm. thankfully, a friend who graduated and won't be using his unit found a tenant in me. so whatever little savings I had, i used for the downpayment and the advance it required. it was a small one-bedroom flat, decent enough to sleep, eat, and study. plus it had a good view of Katipunan Avenue. Good thing I had two part-time jobs to tide me over. the only challenge was I scrimped on eating out which meant daily rations of Lucky Me instant pancit canton and Argentina corned beef (which I now hate) until I get home at the end of the month and raided our pantry for supplies and the frozen ulams, manang cion sends me to reheat.
Tumblr media
of course, it was not all study hours for me. i still went out with my small group of friends for drinks. i even went on dates and brought home some for sex. I won't deny that. don't we all? basta and rule ko lang, acads before landi: homework first before blowjobs and no sex during exam week. it worked for me! and true enough, despite me underestimating myself, the validation came a month before graduation, when the list of students with Latin honors came up, and my name was included.
the pokpok has arrived and he has four medals.
Tumblr media
i was never the perfect student much more as a person to this day. my flaws are so evident but I was honest to admit that I was broken, hurt people who loved me, a failure and needed fixing but then perhaps, destiny was kind enough to give me not only a second chance but a third and fourth and more...and true enough the universe smiled at me and handed me a bowl of cherries.
so if you find yourself in a similar situation, don't lose hope. hayaan mo lang dumaan young problems mo. and importante, mahal mo and sarili mo.

1) Ilang linggo ko nang naiisip 'to pero bakit para nang instagram 'yung tumblr dashboard ko? Hindi naman sa ayaw ko ng pictures, pero halos walang mabasang text post... kaya sinusuyod ko minsan isa-isa 'yung mga finafollow ko. Nagpopost pa rin naman sila ng mga paragraph.
2) Gusto ko nang maging okay. Ayoko nang mag-ruminate at ma-anxious about the future na wala pa naman. Sinasabi ko sa sarili ko, ano bang definition ko ng success? Chill naman 'yung trabaho ko, nagagawa ko gusto ko, may pera ako. Pero hindi ako mapakali. Hindi ko na alam anong growth pa ang gusto ko. (Hindi ko sinasabing perfect ako, lost lang sa kung saan na ako papunta, anong direksyon ang tatahakin; parang nagstay lang ako sa same point—may masama ba dun?)
3) Last year tinanong ako ng manager namin kung wala raw ba akong ka-date. Kitang nagtatrabaho habang February 14 eh. Pero ang pinagkaiba, last year, hindi naman ako bitter. Enjoy lang sa life. This year... sigh. Akala ko nakahanap na ako ng "home". Nag-sign na ako ng verbal contract, nag-downpayment na, pero wala. Evicted.
4) May nakita akong post sa isang fb group. Bumili sya ng condo sa Makati pero hindi sya masaya kasi pakiramdam nya, obligasyon lang, at hindi fulfilling. Practical na decision kaysa magrent daw. Gusto nya raw maging digital nomad. Naaliw ako sa chaos ng feelings at decision-making niya about that property. Wala akong judgment. Nafeel ko lang na hindi ako ganu'n ka-weird; may worries din talaga ang ibang tao. At kahit nga practical ang desisyon mo, minsan hindi ka pa rin nagiging masaya o fulfilled.

like three years ago I was passively looking up home prices thinking I might be one of the lucky ones who could afford to save for a home within 5-10 years. There were small starter houses in my city for just barely over $100,000 (which is still too much) that with good credit I'd be able to afford in the foreseeable future. But now, everything up to $200,000 is just mobile homes and empty lots, and even the smallest houses most run down and condos end up with $1,000-$2,000 monthly payments (with good credit and a sizeable downpayment). Housing prices have more than doubled here in just half a decade. What are we supposed to do?

The post thread goes deeply into "this is literal, it is not a metaphor" and at some point mentions that no one had offered advice on how to buy a condo.
This blog is "not financial advice" and this is not financial advice it is... more of... a general list... of suggestions... on how to buy a condo. In the United States.
At no point am I considering this easy, simple, fair, possible widespread.
It sucks. It is expensive. It is hard. It is confusing.
I'm hoping to take at least a tiny bit of sting out of it.
Tumblr media
Look around your area. Go to real estate offices, they often have postings in the window. Go to their websites. Go on to Zillow or whatever but understand those prices are, hm, spicy and high, frequently. You want to get a gauge of "this is how much a condo of that size is in my area." Or the area you want to move into.
Mortgages are typically 3 - 5% downpayment, up to 20%.
If you put down less than 20%, you will very likely have to pay something called "private mortgage insurance" (PMI)
Names aside -- it's an extra payment with your mortgage payment.
It covers the lender in case you can't make the payments.
It goes away once you've made enough payments to have gained 20% equity.
Tumblr media
Downpayment
This is the the hardest part. It sucks. I'm not going to sugar coat it.
3% of a $100,000 condo is $3,000.
Your mortgage is $97,000.
Your payment is going to be just under $600 + property taxes + PMI (probably 1.5 - 2% of the mortgage) + insurance + association costs.
Here is a basic calculator to play with numbers.
One of the things you should do when looking for a condo is look for first time home buyer's programs.
Google "first time home buyer's program {city}."
Go to City Hall. Go to your bank.
Hell, if you work for a giant company, check your benefits.
I've seen that before with folks -- it's rare, yeah, but check everywhere.
15 Year versus 30 Year Mortgage
This question is academic while you're starting out. Go with a 30 year. It keeps your cost of entry cheaper.
In time, you can refinance. You can (almost always) pay more monthly too.
Unless your mortgage lender is offering you a crazy-good-deal on a 15 year mortgage, plan on 30. Shorter mortgages exist because when you have money, you can get a better deal. If you're following this ramble, it is unlikely to apply. Plan on 30. Figure out a better plan later.
Tumblr media
Property Tax
You'll hear a term called "escrow" bandied about. You'll pay an amount on top of your mortgage payment, this amount varies based on your mortgage, property taxes, insurance too probably, and it sits in a savings account.
You cannot touch this savings account.
Your bank will say "For easy math of this ramble, your mortgage is $500/month. Your insurance is $100/month, your property taxes are $600/twice a year... which is $100/month.
"So your total bill is $500 + 100 + 100. Of this amount, $500 goes to your mortgage. $200 goes to this escrow savings account.
"Twice a year, as your bank, we'll withdraw the cash for your insurance and pay them directly. We'll withdraw the cash and pay the property taxes."
Your bank is in touch with the insurance company and the property tax folks regularly to ensure they have enough in your escrow. Your mortgage will fluctuate slightly accordingly.
Tumblr media
Association Fees
These vary wildly from area-to-area and even building-to-building so keep this in mind while you're hunting.
This pays for maintenance, the building's improvements, the building's property taxes... etc.
Some condo buildings are self-managed by the owners. Some have hired an agency to do the managing. Some blend.
While you are condo hunting, ask about the association fee. Try to get details "How much was it last year? 3 years ago? 5 years ago?" You want to see how often they are raised and by how much.
Also ask about "special assessments." This is an out-of-the-blue and/or long-term-planned "The condo association needs everyone to pay up $X."
They should be rare. Once every handful of years... like, once or twice every 10 years. That is a very rough guide, not a tight guideline. The more common they are? The worse shape the building and/or association is in.
Check what the association fees cover. Will someone come to your condo and handle emergency plumbing? Do they handle landscaping?
What rules do they have?
Tumblr media
"This feels impossible."
It sucks. It's expensive.
There are closing costs on top of all this crap (money you pay during the initial purchase to handle a billion things.) It's more complicated than it feels like it should be.
As you start planning "I want to live here, I can pay $X, that fits within the basic numbers" go talk to a bank. Multiple banks. Community banks, big banks, credit unions, shop around.
"Is this a hard pull on my credit?"
That's the one that hurts it by looking at it. You shouldn't have this until you get fairly deep in the process, but it's just a good question to ask.
If someone makes you uncomfortable for not knowing? Fucking leave immediately. You're the boss. This is your house. These people are working for you. I'm not advocating rudeness, I am advocating if someone is making you feel like shit, leave.
This covers literally everyone in the transaction.
This is a high-value (it costs a lot of money) low-volume transaction (people do not typically buy many properties in life).
You, the customer, are the rarest commodity.
Never let anyone talk down to you.
If you're not ready now, but will be someday, and want info? Go get it. Make the connections. Realty agent, banker, everyone whom has info about your situation you want.
This doesn't cover everything, I'm hoping it's enough to get you started figuring out what questions to ask and whom to ask.
Tumblr media
"Okay but this still feels impossible."
It sucks.
I don't have an answer if you are underpaid at your job. I'm a huge advocate of "people should get paid what they are worth." I hope your situation improves.
Anyone saying "stop buying coffee and shove it in a jar" is not being helpful.
Don't spend energy on them.
Do spend energy on, "I need $X for a downpayment and closing costs. How do I get it?" Work backwards from there on a plan. Keep your cheddar in a high yield interest bank account.
I'm cheering you on.
It isn't much, I hope it helps, a little.
There are going to be local plans and laws and rules that will help and hurt you. Ask questions of local folk. Get them to help you make a plan, of city hall's housing department and various (multiple) banks. It's their job. It is literally their job.
Tumblr media
I'm cheering you on.
When I grow up I wanna be upper middle class.

House it Going? What is the Bottom Line in the Santa Cruz Housing Market?
Megan Kilmer: Santa Cruz Realtor and Lender
Tumblr media
Hi! I'm Megan Kilmer a local millennial Santa Cruz Mama, and Homeowner!
Living in Santa Cruz has always been a worthy battle. I am someone who's rented a kitchen nook with a beaded curtain for privacy in order to stay in this beautiful town. I've been a single mama with my first kiddo, renting rooms from other single mamas. My partner and I make just under the six-figure mark and are considered "low-income" by Santa Cruz County standards. I'm not a magician. I can't make housing fall from the sky, but I can tell you how to hack your way into the Santa Cruz housing market!
Right off the bat - I want to acknowledge that the battle for housing is systemic. When our parents grew up, there was no such thing as a credit score. Many people rely on generational wealth to access their first home purchase and there are many who have been excluded from home buying in the past. Therefore, they do not have generational wealth to draw from. In addition, homelessness is a relatively new concept. One used to be able to walk into the woods and clear part of the forest to build their home, and in other countries homelessness doesn't exist because housing is treated as a human right.
Well, we are here now, so let's play with the cards that we have been dealt. What can we do with the current system in place? If home buying isn't where you are in your housing journey right now - feel free to skip ahead. I will be adding information to help those who need resources for rental support as well.
So let dive in - what is needed to be a homebuyer in this market?
There are two ways to buy a house - all cash or financing. If you need a loan you need to be loanable. That means consistent income for two years, a decent credit score, and most people need at least 3-5% down. So let's talk turkey - what's the bottom line in Santa Cruz County?
If you're like me you have been up late at night scrolling looking at real estate websites and drooling at something ridiculously cheap. Maybe it's a piece of land for 15K, mobile home for 170K, or a cute cabin in Felton for 300K! Or wondering why in the world is a condo on by the beach here under 1M?! Or what's up with a "pre-forecloser" property? You probably already know this, but if it looks too good to be true, it is!
Pieces of land under 100K most likely are not buildable. Keep in mind that any property in the San Lorenzo Valley ( Felton, Mt Hermon, Ben Lomond, Lompico, Zayante, Brookdale, Boulder Creek etc.) that does not have a sewer connection is going to need a septic test. Most septic and well systems have not been maintained or were damaged in the CZU Complex Fires. This means that building will take time effort and MONEY! It's 2023 and of the 911 homes lost, we only have 24 rebuilds! Despite the County stating that they are expediting the permitting process.
Does that mean you shouldn't try? No! There are some problem solves to building. One is an FHA 203(k) loan. If you are willing to put in the effort and energy to go through the permitting and rebuild process you will be able to finance the development of your property with a loan.
One of the most inquired about properties I get are mobile homes under 200K. These are tricky. with a mobile home they ask for a larger downpayment because these homes are seen as "depreciating assets" to financial institutions - that being said these home don't seem to have lost much, if any value, in our Santa Cruz housing bubble. The fact is we are still short on housing and affordable homes to buying a mobile home is still a better bet than renting. Because you will gain equity in your mobile home verse not equity gains in a rental.
So why would a mobile home in Santa Cruz County be under 200K? Some parks have age restrictions like age requirements of 55+. Some parks have very high space rent especially if they are near the ocean or another desired location. If space rent is above $1000 this makes the property value go down because it decreases affordability. Also a challenge may be that the mobile home was build pre 1974. These are hard to lend on since they are considered a vehicle, but an added bonus for these homes is there is no home property tax, only annual registration.
Mobile home loans are possible, but a little different. You will need a higher downpayment, 10-20% and the terms of the loans tend to be shorter between 14-20years. If the loan term is shorter that increases your monthly payment. So, if you are looking at a 200K mobile you may end up paying the same amount as you would a 400K home a month, but as you know, those don't exist in Santa Cruz County! So get the mobile home, build equity so that when the time is right you can leverage into your next home.
On to the cute tiny cabin in Felton - or Paradise Park! If you are a member of a Masonic Organization in good standing with dues paid you are eligible to buy property in the Paradise Park community. If you aren't, you are out of luck. If this is a creative direction you want to explore let me know I can introduce to a Brother.
Other cute cabins in the Santa Cruz redwoods! These homes were build after the 1906 earthquake that devastated San Francisco. The homes were build as vacation homes and have now turned into permanent residences. Because many of these homes were not built to endure year-round use there are a lot of "fixers" we can go back to our FHA 203K loan for support with financing a home that is a fixer. We will also diligently ensure that the well and septic systems pass inspections before committing to a home because these issues are costly and may make your monthly payment unaffordable after financing repairs.
Those properties by the beach that snag everyone's attention are usually shared equity - like a timeshare. Many I have seen are between 1/4th and 1/7th shared equity. You would need to work out times that the other homeowners approve to be at the property. It cannot be a permanent residence and it could be loaned on as an investment property but you will not be able to put less than 20% down on it.
The last thing I want to mention about the dream homes that you may find online - there is no such thing as a "pre-foreclosure" home. Those folks have defaulted on a mortgage payment, missed their tax payment, or have a mechanics lien. They are not posting their home for sale. I think it's really sad that big real estate websites do this because the homeowners are already struggling and it gives false hope to a scroller!
If you have any questions about any of the ways to home hack your way into the Santa Cruz home market please reach out. I will be posting more ways to navigate your Santa Cruz homeownership journey, so stay tuned!

y'all look into first-time homebuyer programs in your areas. My city (east coast USA) put up $30,000 in GRANT money to help cover 5% downpayment our condo.
It won't work for everyone, I wish it did, it's really geared towards a very specific income bracket, but at least in my case, if you're income is 80%-100% AMI (google "[CITY] average median income" and check those numbers against what you make before taxes.
My partner and I went from skipping meals bc we couldn't afford groceries to paying a mortgage in less than a year.
In our case we had to meet the income restrictions, both have consistent employment, and put down 1.5% of the purchase cost in cash (little over $9000 which isn't unheard of for first/last/deposit on similar rental units) and we had to take a class, (2 weekends, virtual, attendance based).
I highly recommend if you live in a place that has a program like this to at LEAST take the class attached to it. It's good education whether or not you do buy (understanding how to navigate the current economic system is still important even if we all hate it which we do)
and if your stars do align and you're able to jump through the paperwork, our city put down $30k in GRANT money towards our downpayment. Grant meaning NOT A LOAN we DO NOT HAVE TO REPAY THAT MONEY.
Housing policy is fucked up, housing SHOULDN'T be a means of wealth accumulation and storing value....
....that said, living in this economic shitshow where it is all those things, One+/FHB/etc is a BIG FUCKING DEAL.
Additionally, if your city DOESN'T have one, you can point to the cities like Boston who have adopted them and show the success in allowing people to establish themselves in the city. It FIGHTS gentrification because YOU CAN'T BE PRICED OUT OF A HOME THAT YOU OWN. YOUR MORTGAGE WILL NEVER GO UP.
These programs are spearheaded by grassroots activists and exist because people demanded the resources. Be excited, take advantage, and move yourself, your family and your community towards a more equitable view of homeownership.
We ask your questions so you don’t have to! Submit your questions to have them posted anonymously as polls.

How to Secure Your Dream Pre-Construction Condo in Brampton
Tumblr media
The real estate market in Brampton is red hot. More and more buyers coming to this burgeoning city. A prime target are the many new pre construction condos in Brampton coming up across neighborhoods. From Downtown Brampton's urban core to family-friendly West Brampton, there's a new project for every lifestyle.
If you've had your eye on one of these amazing and amenity-filled condominiums, you need to be strategic to land your dream unit. Here are my insider's tips for securing one of the best pre construction condos in Brampton:
1. Get Pre-Approved First
Before even looking at listings, get pre-approved for a mortgage loan from your bank. This shows condo sellers you're a qualified, serious buyer who can close quickly when the time comes. Lenders will take into account Brampton's higher property values and cost of living.
2. Research Development Reputations 
Not all Brampton builders and developers are equal. Research their histories and read reviews of completed projects. Highly-regarded developers like Crown Crest Homes and Greenpark Group sell out blazing fast, so get on their insider lists immediately.
3. Choose Your Neighborhood Wisely
Each Brampton neighborhood has its own amenities and vibe. Mount Pleasant has convenient GO Transit access, while Heartlake is geared towards families with top schools and parks. Decide which area suits your needs best in terms of commuting, lifestyle, and future value.
4. Study Floorplans Intensely
With pre-construction, you're buying based on floorplans and renderings alone. Scrutinize them intensely and measure room dimensions and analyzing layout flow. That 500 sq.ft. studio may live larger than it appears on paper. You can ask your realtor to show you other sizes of the suites available.
5. Jump On VIP Incentives  
Most premium Brampton condo developments offer exclusive VIP incentives. This is for their insider buyer lists for the first few days of sales. This could mean thousands off purchase prices, free upgrades or assignment clause protection. It may include free appliances, parking spots, and lockers. Don't miss out by being late to register for pre construction condos in Brampton.
6. Prepare Your Downpayment
In Brampton's competitive market, have your minimum 20% down payment funds liquid and ready to go. Many lenders require even larger down payments for pre-construction purchases to mitigate risk. Cash talks during high-pressure sales events. Be prepared with your finances and talk to your realtor if you need help with better financing options.

day one of a brand new year, and the year where I get everything together. lots of overtime, snowballing debt, downpayment for my condo and securing it totally, art business, art in galleries, completing degree, switching to remote work, making money from my online store, finishing my scholarship service, my nose job, extreme fatloss and being lean/toned for the first time in my life. achieving my hair goals, skin goals, flexibility goals, mitf goals. the day did not start so well. I woke up late, on the worst day of my period, and was late to work. I did not want to start the first day of this new year this way. however, I believe I made up for it with how productive I've been at work today. I am almost done with section 2 (plan to finish before leaving work tonight). I will be doing pilates, my back, stretching and foam rolling soon as I get out the shower tonight. I have also read a bit, journaled and looked into prp locations. I have also drank a bit of water, but I will need to drink 2 more liters when I get home. I started fasting as well, and whitened my teeth last night. so I will gather the rest of the day. this day requires that I am disciplined and work hard - consistently with no excuses other than illness. tonight musts: face mask, tongue scrape, spearmint tea, spiro, pilates and exercise routine, meal prep for tomorrow, read my book, watch anime or a show, sleep by midnight. I feel awkward typing here again despite being a daily habit in the past but that is a sign that I just need to get accustomed to brain dumping for my own sanity again.
