Good, perhaps the boomers will recognize how impossible the current structure is to live under and actually pay attention to what they are voting for...
Who am I kidding, that's not going to happen 😭
A lot of people are in denial about the effects of policies they support.
Just look at the cost of housing. There's a ton of NIMBY homeowners who are deep in denial that zoning huge swaths of cities to be exclusively mcmansions could possibly cause house prices to be artificially high.
As a NIMBY guy...I'm going to protect my investment. There's plenty of affordable housing out there, it's just not 10 minutes walking distance from an urban center.
I can go pay 20k cash and live in a trailer across town if I need to.
Edit: If you want to do it that way, you can rent said trailer for a pittance. I'd suggest you do, you won't want to be there long.
Everyone wants low cost housing, no one actually wants to live in a low cost area.
Holy shit, you solved homelessness, good job! All we need is to have 20k in cash and then... wait.
