Why are they building so many of these fucking things? Are these going to be used as detainment centers for dissidents and the unvaccinated?

I never understood how so many people, can own so much stuff, that there is such a huge need for them. They have built 4 large stoorage facilities around me.

In your country, you spend a lot on taxes, and usually own one house, right? Houses are a massive debt financed investment in the USA, and typically that means you are also living in some shithole or suburb. Also, job security is non-existent (you can literally be fired for no reason at any time). This creates a liquid workforce that often rents in 6 to 24 month leases. When you move around that much, especially between apartments, you don't have much space, and moving the goods can be a pain. Having free space is also nice. So you pay $100 a month for a storage unit, and every so often swap things in and out of it.

Because if they don't keep it all in their home people won't know they are hoarders. Isn't hard to get rid of old things to me but some think they need a 20 year old bottle of shampoo for whatever reason.

I never got the purpose of a storage units for personal use. You own stuff that you want to keep, but you don't want it around so you pay someone to hold it for you?

That makes no sense. Just sell it or give it away if it's just going to sit somewhere.

ProTip from someone doing this over 25 years from Ebay to wherever.
Spread a wide net and raise prices.
Quadruple your listings adding slight differences and charging more.
Costs nothing to list, sometimes people like to pay more, kek.

Two reasons. The first is the obvious one that people have more stuff so they need somewhere to store it.
The other reason is landbanking. Large companies have been buying up land for years. This isn't something recent like the Blackrock stuff with houses. A storage facility is very cheap to build and maintain but puts an active use on the property that covers the holding costs. When they decide at some point in the future to put up a bunch of commie blocks on the property, very little value is lost from tearing down the storage units.

because in 5-10 years all the boomers will be dead leaving lots of nice real estate full of old crap.
their millennial kids will want to rent out the place to immigrants, but don't want them fucking up the family heirlooms.
so they put them in storage for a couple o' bucks while gauging the tenants

You really think it's the millennials who care about the family heirlooms? It's the boomers who put that shit in storage, then when they die those vultures who bid on unpaid units come in and snatch up anything that might be worth anything.
If not them then the Gen-X druggie shitheads who just didn't give a fuck about anything. At least they left over some good music and clothes.

The interest the IRS charges is the federal short-term rate plus 3%. The federal short-term rate is currently 0.12%, so 3.12%. As long as that is lower than inflation, you may as well do whatever you can to put off paying.

This but also a consequence of economic decline. People are downsizing but they have a lot of stuff, the rental "is temporary" (nope). Boxes became more expensive than the contents because they are more useful.

Why? Unless you've made over $150k profit your tax rate will be like 10% If you've made over 150k the IRS is going to absolutely rape you.

My tip would be form multiple LLC's and spread your sales between multiple accounts. Then you're able to control the profits of each business without limiting yourself.

lolno boomers are the ones selling off family heirlooms for whatever cash they can get as soon as their parents are in the old folks' home or the ground.
I rescued a shit-ton of family heirlooms when my grandma finally passed. My entire dining room and all my good china came from her house - my aunt was just gonna sell it all through a consignment shop. All of my grandpa's trophies and ribbons are in my den, my dad would have just tossed them in the dumpster.
