You collect cans while renting a closet somewhere. You use that permanent address to land a better labor job. Then save a bit and buy your own tools and compete for jobs as a subcontractor etc.
There are a lot of obstacles along the way, and a predatory society and institutions don't help, but that's generally how it's done.
LA isn't impossible, there are areas where houses are $250k, but are dismissed as "ghetto." The main issue in LA is transportation and associated costs.
- adventured 9y agoThe only areas of LA where housing is $250,000, are extremely dangerous. "Dangerous" is the useful description, not "ghetto." Why would anyone want to live in an area with an extremely high murder / violent crime rate? Such areas are almost always controlled by gangs. There are very good reasons why the lower cost housing, is lower cost.
- ropeah 9y agoTechnology should be reducing the cost of living. All this accelerated growth with increased costs have negative effects on the culture. When people are stressed and impoverished they aren't exactly compelled to improve their communities or start hip local businesses. You have millions of people stressed, annoyed and envious of all the other happier people.
