I randomly chose Kansas City Kansas and there are houses there for less than 200k that looked ok. Living in San Francisco is not necessary. Live somewhere cheaper and stop complaining that desireable places to live are more expensive.

Living in Kansas City is not a viable option unless you belong to certain demographics. Stop promoting it as such.

  Please be more specific in your criticism of Kansas City. Many of its residents will be enlightened by the wisdom you can confer.

There are not enough homes in all the Kansas Cities in the country to make that a universal solution. Instead of $1M homes in SF and $200k in KC, you end up with $800k homes everywhere. On top of that, what you save financially you frequently pay for in other ways. Communities and services that can be found in large cities simply don't exist in smaller and midwest areas.

  There are probably 100 cities in the fly over states just like KC. I live in a small town because I could not afford the big city near by. Life is full of compromises, not living in the most expensive city in the country shouldn’t be considered a hardship.

    > Life is full of compromises, not living in the most expensive city in the country shouldn’t be considered a hardship. For many of us, the culture of smaller cities and increasingly even the laws of entire states represent an existential threat, or an existential threat to our loved ones. That is much more than a "hardship."

      Can you explain what the existential threat in an entire state or a small town is that requires people to live in the most expensive and desireable cities?

        For one, being transgender. Doubly so for transgender minors.

Even though you are not really worthy of a response due to your spiteful way of expressing yourself, I can assure you that most young people don't want to live in San Fransisco or New York city. The pricing-out happening the last decade is world wide. Most people just want to work, follow the rules and have a chance to a dignified life with their own home and family. > Live somewhere cheaper and stop complaining This is how you eradicate civil society, if working people are priced out of where they were born. But it happens, and it has happened historically. Millions left Europe for America. Millions will leave "cemetery cities" where young people cannot afford to live. I've seen such places and know how they are. The old people there hate the younger generation, even though most young people have moved out and the few teens there are itching to get the hell out as well.
