The point being made is that they cannot afford to live in rural areas. Their subsidized lives are affordable. I don't hate poor people, but subsidizing people

I don't hate poor people, but subsidizing people in urban areas is just a better way to help them - the money goes a lot further.
- partiallypro 4y agoPeople have lived in rural areas for cheaper than in cities for far far longer than government subsidies have existed. It sure just sounds like a very classist take that people that don't live in cities don't deserve what people in cities do. Which is sort of ironic because I see people with tons of money stepping over homeless in wealthy cities all the time. I don't think there are massive homeless problems in US cities because of a redneck getting a 4G tower installed 15 miles from his property. I have had the opportunity of growing up in a poorer rural area, and have lived in a major city. I find this mindset pretty grotesque and extremely polarizing, to the degree that it actually undercuts public policy.
