    Hint: Stop living in places like that.

    I.E. Stop living in the red:

    Having a $300k/yr job means nothing if Rent is 250k/yr…there are PLENTY of jobs out there. Most places are minimum $15 any more. And with a median home price in the 250k-400k in the green areas, you can make it work. First time home buyers programs exist which will cough up the down payment for you in some instances.

      You’re correct, but these entitled children will downvote you and throw their mental gymnastics at you anyways.

      Getting older is really showing me how stupid this generation is. Oh well, at least it’s easier for me to compete.

        Fucking read the comments, are you dense? Why the fuck would I want to live in a place where my wife might be forced to carry a terminal pregnancy? Or somewhere lacking employment opportunities other than fucking Walmart? Jfc.

          It’s not about wants, it’s about needs.

          If you can’t afford to live somewhere, you have to move somewhere else. Thinking otherwise is textbook entitlement.

          If these places aren’t good enough for you, then you need to make more money to live somewhere else or do your part to make them better.

          Thinking otherwise is textbook entitlement.

            What’s actually entitled is thinking that people should just shut up and accept shit choices to preserve your property value (and commodified housing in general <.<) instead of building more goddamned dense housing and infrastructure.

            “Suck it up” is one of the worst phrases invented. I’ve only ever seen it used to justify hierarchy, subjugation, abuses of power, and not changing things for the better. Its existence primarily serves the interests of those with power.

              No, what’s entitled is thinking you deserve more before others who have less without being able to afford it yourself.

              That’s textbook entitlement, lol.

        “I could move to Bumfuck Montana where the rent is cheaper, or I could stay here and take care of my elderly mother with dementia. Yep. Montana it is because I’m not an entitled child.”

          I don’t get it. If Bumfuck Montana isn’t good enough for you, then what about the people who are forced to live their because they can’t afford more?

          Why should you get more before them? You already have more! Lol.

        TIL wanting to afford living near family/friends means I’m entitled.

        Take your pills, Grandpa.
