There's your problem. Supply, demand, and entitlement.
Damn entitled people, wanting to live within 4 hours of where they work...
"Entitlement?"
Back in 1960, minimum wage was $1.00/hour and the average US home was $11,000.00
A brand new high school graduate could be a homeowner in a decade.
Please explain to me how anyone wanting to be able to live like that is 'entitled.'
The new American dream is having a giant polycule and splitting a home between several paying adults
Solution: move to a small town, Mr/Mrs Entitlement! Somewhere cheaper to live, where coincidentally the pay is lower and opportunities aren't as abundant. Also extremely limited mass-transit options but hey that's why you buy a car and get tied up in that whole mess. Not to mention property values doubling/tripling post-covid but I'm sure most folks have a few $100k laying around, especially in these particularly prosperous times.
Perhaps it's just a skill issue though? Lol
Also vastly fewer cultural and social options. Poor people don't deserve those things, I guess!
Poor people deserve to suffer, is an opinion far too many people hold.
The fact that cars are necessary is really awful for poor people. I'm driving a 28-year-old car if a salvage title and I'm still paying hundreds for gasoline insurance and keeping fluids in it since it leaks oil, and that's when it's not burning the oil, because anything else would be unaffordable. We really need to stretch out grade separated rail Transit as deep into the suburbs as possible and then densify around it
So we should just sprawl out huh? That’s just making unsustainable towns.
Also Suburbia isn't that much cheaper, especially these days. It's just worse. Rural areas are cheaper but you have lower wages that offset that so it's not even like you could just move out to Nowhere County anymore
