This would be funny if it weren’t a national trend that is threatening to throw millions out of their houses in the next few years, but it’s just the way the Internet works. You go to a story on housing, or read a site that is normally tagged for high-income or mainstream audiences, and the algorithms do the rest. Here is a tent ad from LL Bean in the middle of a story about foreclosures:

This is even sadder when you consider the story includes the line, “We now have a ‘tent city’ because the homeless shelters are overloaded.” Ouch.

So run on down to your local LL Bean and pick up your next home. The silver lining: With all these vacant houses, there will be no shortage of firewood.
