If you’re so tired of expensive housing prices in your major city, then why don’t you stop complaining and move to this random town I found with some cheap houses for sale and exactly zero other amenities?
No place is perfect. Sure, this city is in the middle of nowhere, isn’t near major job markets, and doesn’t have maintained roads, well-funded schools, or functioning emergency services, but it does have a series of dilapidated ranch houses located between a data center and a second data center that is currently on fire.
You can’t complain about the price of housing if you refuse to move hundreds of miles away to a city I just learned about for the purposes of this bad-faith argument.
For the same amount as a down payment in New York City, you could buy an entire house in this town in upstate wherever or whatever it’s called. You could also buy absolutely nothing else in the town because any industry was decimated in a post-industrial economic order that bled regional metros dry for the benefit of a handful of global conglomerates.
At least it has electricity lol
Supply and demand.
You can work to make more places worth living.
I really want to see the inspiration of this
Small towns in the US with no job opportunities, no fun things to do, no infrastructure upkeep, and no plans for the future.
Its a great deal of them since the manufacturing jobs they were built around have all been exported by the parent companies.
But hey, cheap housing.
::motioned broadly::
The US is all unkept infrastructure and poorly planned housing in between data centers
Yeah I think we know that, but something like this post was inspired by a specific incident obviously
That’s a lot of faith in a hypothesized occurrence, instead of the more likely possibility that it’s an amalgam of myriad experiences that led to this post. ☝🏼
