    Yeah screw those people being able to be happy and move to an area that doesn’t bend them over almost definitely worse than you. What assholes! They should have to stay in the downtown centers and pay $15 million to live in an old phone booth with a sink.

    This has the same energy of people being pissed off with student loan forgiveness or something. “If I had to deal with it, so should you! I can’t be happy so you can’t either blah blah”

      What? That isn’t even remotely close to what I was expressing…

      They mentioned wfh being a good thing from covid and I mentioned how it affected other people using my own experience. Fuck me for wanting to buy a home in the same damn state that I work in, excuse me. Only their experience is valid apparently.

        The point of course is that there shouldn’t be entire towns that are on affordable. Expensive houses / condos in the city? Sure I guess. An entire city where nothing is Affordable to people working normal jobs there? No that shouldn’t be a thing anywhere and it needs to be made impermissible. We need a lot of non-market housing

          Yeah, OP doesn’t get how many, many things can cause house price rises and that you shouldn’t stop a good thing just because a bad thing takes advantage.

            But I never said to stop it.

            Too many people are taking my “there’s 2 sides to this so called benefit” as “crab mentality.”

            I’m happy people got to be happy, but their happiness came at my expense.

            We all made decisions as to where we wanted to work, people chose cities for high incomes, I hate cities, traffic, overpopulated areas, so I chose the opposite and work in a factory far from a city, but now everyone got to leave the cities and that caused a massive increase in prices pretty much immediately. Again, good for them, I was just pointing out to OP that it isn’t all sunshine and rainbows, for some WFH coming from covid ruined their plans.

            I either keep the position I worked for and never own a home now or I have to start over somewhere else.
