I never said it’s not a problem, though. You’re basically addressing things I never claimed to begin with.
>>>> Housing is already very cheap in places no one wants to live in.
>>> But this isn't a solution, it's a tautology
>> No one said it’s a solution, I’m simply describing reality, as you’ve also concluded.
> That's clearly untrue. You're claiming there isn't a systemic problem, I'm claiming there is.
I have no idea who you’re even responding to.
- scythe 5y agoThe problem is your use of the word "wants". When I moved to San Francisco in 2014, it wasn't because I wanted to. I liked it there; I think San Francisco is certainly a desirable place to live, but that doesn't actually matter. The fact is, in 2014, I was planning to move to Portland, which, in 2014, was much more affordable than it is today. But I found a job in San Francisco before I found anything in Portland. That didn't happen because I thought San Francisco was desirable, it happened because people, except for the very few who make a lot of money working remotely, do not move somewhere simply because they want to. Otherwise, I would have moved to Costa Rica. "Housing is already very cheap in places where there are few jobs, poor services and little infrastructure." See the difference?
