And that statement is stupid as fucking shit.

I get where you're coming from but wanting an option other than corporate politicians is very different from willingly electing your last president as a childish incompetent dictator.

I think there's a video of incel Nick Fuentes saying that because plenty of gay men have had sex with women and he's still a virgin, having sex with a woman is gay. That's pretty damn close to this.

Ugh, living in a forest like that sounds idyllic

Omg, I hadn't thought of that. Social security is taxed from income, American wages have been stagnant since the 70s.

Unbearably frustrating. We really need to abandon cars as a concept.

..but capitalism is so good, things only get better!!! The market is too regulated, is the problem

That's the irony.

But Density means communism to them so they're suddenly fine with regulations and taxes that prop up an unsustainable suburban ponzi scheme because that's the lie sold about the American Dream.

When they see how unaffordable housing has become they say, "good, my house is more expensive."

Yeah. It's the usual nonsense habits of people that they will defend to their dying breath

Well I think it was successful for the same reason so many unicorn startups are. They were bankrolled by promising angel investors marketshare so they were able to run artificially brutally low prices to dry out the rest of the market for years. But now investors are asking for those profits back and we're here dealing with horrible Airbnb prices AND it made the housing crisis worse. Double whammy, bb!!

True! Getting rid of these AirBnBs probably doesn't hurt things though. Now they might actually get a long-term resident.
