      …

      I grew up in a bad neighborhood. My parents house cost them 20k in 1980.

      It sold for 450k in 2001. The original house is still there, a postwar concrete prefab with zero wall insulation capacity that freezes and weeps in winter and broils in summer, but the yard is looong gone with a subdivision.

      The RENT on that fucking house is now more per year than my parents paid to own it. Without the yard.

      Shit is broken

      Because there aren’t good jobs in those places anymore. So entitled wanting access to jobs…

      And acting like NY, SF etc are the only places with a housing crisis. And the only places people want to live. It’s pretty much a housing crisis in any town with jobs.
