    It’s funny to me how many of the things we were told communism would bring about are now being experienced under the current economic system.

      But that’s obviously because of the socialist elements left in the system. /s

      All people need to do is realize the country is a lot bigger than California and New York. There is still a lot of affordable housing, just not in those places anymore. Stop shunning the “flyover states”.

        The problem is that there is not nearly as many good jobs in the rural areas, and most of the good jobs in tech related fields are moving employees back to the office, which means forcing people to work in big cities.

        I don’t think thats true. Housing prices are high everywhere, I have friends and family in the midwest their shit is out of control too. New York and San Fran are the most extreme for sure but costs of renting or buying have like tripled everywhere over the last decade
