I'm moving for more than cheaper rent, but thanks for playing. There are people that make six figure salaries that can barely afford to make ends meet due to the cost of living, and that is a fact. Try swallowing $4000 a month in rent for the suburbs, after CA taxes, before utilities/food/gas/car upkeep. Even people with six figure salaries are having to face a reality that they are being pushed out in favor of people with even more money. If I want to buy a house, guess what? I'm commuting from Manteca or farther. Affording Tracy would be a luxury. It's a numbers game and more people than you're willing to admit are hurting.
- pault 9y agoYou can get a nice two bedroom 20 minutes from downtown Austin for ~$600k. You can get in on the ground floor and be part of the NIMBY block in 15 years when nobody can afford to live here anymore! :)
- bitshepherd 9y agoLoved Austin when I lived there. I went back earlier this year and it just wasn't the same. The hypergrowth over the past few years has turned moderately annoying traffic into a driving nightmare, which compounds everything because Texas is very car-centric.
- guywaffle 9y agoLmao you aren’t hurting. You have options to choose from. There a people who have no option. Who’s job doesn’t allow them to move and pick where to live. Take the silver spoon out of your mouth and realize as “bad” as you have it making more than 100k... THERE ARE A LOT OF OTHERS WORSE OFF THAN YOU!!!
- bitshepherd 9y agoAd hominem is the best way to get the point across. Don't ever change, sir/madam.
- guywaffle 9y agoUmm hypocrite?
- guywaffle 9y agoBtw you realize this all started because you didn’t understand my comment and decide to be a troll about it.
