  • I’d guess it’s not as bad as it is in CA, but this is starting to happen in my neighborhood in Portland, OR.

    Houses are getting more expensive, so sellers are getting more and more offers from wealthy investors buying them to rent them out. Since people can’t afford a home, they go ahead and rent the house (at least around us).

    Its a bummer because the rent continually increases, so folks typically cannot stay there for too many years. For the renters, the rent is around what a mortgage payment would be at current interest rates, so they’re not saving a lot of money.

    The house across the street was sold when mortgage rates were ~3%, so the owners are making a good amount on the house. I just happen to hate that it’s ruining our neighborhood, and I’d like more families with kids to move on to our street.

    For the calendar specifically, you could use something like DAVx5 to sync your calendar onto your phone. Then, Google Calendar would only be displaying the calendar that’s already sync’d to your phone, and you could revoke network permissions from Google Calendar.

    Otherwise, for a program that transmits a bunch of data whenever it connects to the internet you don’t have a way to finely control that.

    I haven’t use a DNS filter on GrapheneOS before, but that might be able to block specific connections.

    For the “Midwest”, in my opinion:

    • Ohio is in the Midwest (or at least the places you can order “pop”…maybe this isn’t a thing in Ohio…I don’t know…Ohio sucks…Go Blue)
    • North/South Dakota shouldn’t be
    • Kansas shouldn’t be
    • Nebraska shouldn’t be
