It is very weird that nobody cares. I work a decent tech job in the Bay Area so I’m nowhere near the bottom, but housing costs are a massive barrier in my life.

It is very weird that nobody cares. I work a decent tech job in the Bay Area so I’m nowhere near the bottom, but housing costs are a massive barrier in my life. I can pay my rent, but ever buying a home to start a family feels like an impossibility. But no one really seems to care. It’s completely fixable, but even most people I know don’t really care about it or connect that it’s the politicians making shitty zoning and local control laws that drives up the prices so high. Or they buy into the virtue signaling propaganda about affordable housing for those at the very bottom being the only thing we should care about, even though they and everyone they know live in market rate housing and are struggling with the cost.
