Go look at a mortgage or even rent in any major city.

Hi, this is pretty much me, and I concur. If you can’t live on $150k then you are definitely making some questionable decisions. That’s around $8k/m take home. Even if you are spending $4k on rent/mortgage, you should have plenty left over to live on.

I make 150k, have 3 kids (one in college), a home, 2 cars, etc and I am most assuredly not living paycheck to paycheck

Good thing there are plenty of places to live outside of major cities.

The only people who this isn’t a solution for are those who feel they’re entitled to live in places they can’t afford 🤷

A lot of people like not commuting several hours a day, or having access to actual culture, or not being constantly robbed by meth heads, or not being murdered because of their Identity, or about a million other things that are difficult to impossible outside of cities…

But fuck all the queer and trans people who escaped to the safety of cities. If they can’t afford t, they shouldn’t be there, right? /s

What makes them exempt from supply and demand?

I own a home just outside of a city and my mortgage is 1060/mo. 3BR, 3 bath, finished basement, on a half acre.

Good for you. I bet you have to drive everywhere and you don’t even realize that the cost of the infrastructure to make your life convient is bankrupting your closest city.

What a dumb shit comment lol.

I literally volunteer on campaigns to change local zoning to be more dense and contain more public transport.

“You countered my point so quick let me think up some way to attack you as a person” lol.
