    My one-bedroom apartment in southwest Missouri costs less now than I paid to sleep on a guy's living room floor in Manhattan in 1986. No lie. $400 in 2024 vs. $500 in 1986. (The average cost for a one-bedroom apartment in my town is about $850. I've got a great deal in a very old building.)

    This fucking disgusts me. It's now known as some "rich playground" despite it having a HUGE history of WORKING/LOW CLASS immigrants and populous, but then things happened and here we are. Our most culturally diverse and amazing and convenient city ruined by (from what I've heard) rich people doing fishy shit, landlords getting greedy, bad city management from the council itself, and everybody deciding to flea back into the city from their suburbs because it's now "trendy." Ruining the culture slowly, day by day.

      Yes, it does. Private equity is the evil doing of Republicans in this country. Ronald Reagan got the ball rolling through massive deregulation and union-busting everywhere. Private equity firms are destroying the middle class and will send this country into the next Great Depression. If Trump is elected, this will become a reality. Vote out every Republican at the state and federal levels if you are eligible to do so. Republican billionaires are controlling everything in this country.

    One other major factor that is affecting the whole of the US, Canada, & even Europe is the change in housing size demand. The demand for 4-5 Bedroom units from the Millennial/Gen Z pop is much lower while 1-2 Beds have a substantially higher demand. We dont just need to build more, but reshape the existing. Families have less people than before and many housing units were built decades ago for larger families

    It’s not only New York City it’s Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Miami, and most of Florida in that matter the state of Maine Boston practically the entire country. And it’s not just the US that has this problem when I look at all these cities and countries that have an all-time inflation with a terrible homeless situation With people sleeping on the streets, trash everywhere, piss and shit on the sidewalk and alleyways with crumbled infrastructure and disgusting living conditions and no affordable living anywhere. When you connect the dots it’s very clear that it’s not a left right issue a geographic issue or any form of government or so it’s a population issue. There are too many people on the planet and the world running out of resources. so another words we are overpopulated and there are not enough homes for everyone because if they are building more and more houses apartments, businesses and roads changing the climate and we still have a home shortage then it’s overpopulated and there aren’t enough homes for everyone and keep hearing and seeing the same topics over and over and over

The real reason people want to live there is that it's the only escape in America from the endless stretch of highway, parking lot, suburban subdivision, and strip mall.
