Just don’t live in a city geez
Edit: Yes, my quest for downvotes is successful.
I aim to be karma neutral on the fediverse and had a pretty good day I need to counteract.
A couple years ago this was the "just don't live in California" argument.
just don’t live
^This guy gets it
People take this advice, move to a lower COL area and rise the COL.
People that handed the advice now complains that they can't afford to live in their not-so-low-COL-anymore area
That’s where the jobs are.
Not much for good paying work in podunk towns.
Just commute for an hour to work every day. Ew, no, we don’t want to fund buses, that’s for poors. Pay for it yourself.
Ew, commuting. Just WFH
I know you're trolling, but you could at least write some funny ones

At which point, Id have to spend the money saved on housing on buying, fueling, maintaining and insuring a car, if I was even able to drive one in the first place.
Just work from home, jeez
Sure thing, just need to find a jedi to teach me the force so that I can move and assemble the parts in the factory without actually being there.
