    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.)

    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

    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.

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.

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

    I left NY in 2004. I was born there. I loved Long Island where I grew up. And could & did rent a cheap (crappie but decent) apartment in Manhattan. It was on the lower east side in around 1980 - not a good neighborhood, but cool & affordable. Ended up in Westchester with family life - middle to upper middle class. When I sold our house in 2004, I couldn't have afforded to buy it! I don't know how all the rich people are going to find anyone to do any of the work for them now. Police, firefighters, sanitation workers, maids, cooks, nannies etc simply can't afford it anymore. It began with gentrifying every neighborhood to the point that it forced out so many. I barely recognize the gritty but beautiful and exciting city I lived in & around for 40 years. It's sad really.

I got a raise from 120K to 130K and it was like $200 more a month after taxes. Adding SS + medicaid + NY short term disability tax + NYS + NYC tax, it is almost 50 tax rate. 2) Diversity? Not really anymore. Everyone being from Central America and speaking Spanish is not only not diversity, but making me feel like an outsider.

    People talk about crime as if it was the worse thing in the world. But it did allow many people to stay. Of course some people got killed, but not on the level of those who left.
    So you can effectively get rid of poor people by raising rents vs being in a crime neighborhood that they have adjust themselves to coop.
    But at least they can live in the city vs being forced into a city where they must drive everywhere.

      I keep seeing people of global cities complaining that they had to leave their city due to un-affordability. Well, people in small towns and villages also have to leave their home towns because of lack of jobs. The root cause for both the issues is the same. Jobs being concentrated in one place.
