About 1/3 of the population rents. 20% of the population lives in rural areas, and somehow we have to have discourse about people in rural areas constantly.

The rent is too damn high.
Any version of housing policy where people who pay rent don't count is just asinine. The rent is too damn high.
So before I mute this guy allow me to point out this is completely dumb shit.
I have been to 44 states. People are worried about rent all over the country. This is happening in cities big and small.
Those trying to buy are also worried about costs.

I thought the idea of a sex abuse ring at the highest levels of government was overheated and ridiculous.
I thought Captain America: The Winter Soldier having secret Nazi senators was over the top.

Rich New Yorkers won't leave New York for the same reason they won't give up any other expensive, luxurious thing they own. Because living here is in and of itself an expensive status symbol.
And expensive status symbols are how they define themselves.

🧵Spotted While Roaming In Aotearoa New Zealand:
A young human (8?) is crouched in front of a white picket fence, clutching a super soaker to his chest.
He tenses, then...
JUMPS UP
