I think it's even more than that.
There is a movement where you should own nothing.
You should not have a house, you should live in a city, everything should be shared and paid for with taxes.
I was born in NYC and own my own apartment and I am considered a "Gentrifier" because I bought it and do not rent.
I like living in a metropolitan area, but I can see why other's don't.
- throwaway22032 3y agoEverything has to be done by someone else. You can't work on your own place, you have to employ someone to do that. Where do they live with their work van? I guess they have to be a business(tm) and rent a warehouse. Oh and their van has to be less than 5 years old, otherwise it's too pollutey. They can just buy a new one, that's fine. Etc etc. It'd be funny if it wasn't actually happening. I have had a pretty charmed life and I still find it really hard to understand the weirdly bookish attitude.
- maerF0x0 3y ago> You can't work on your own place, you have to employ someone to do that Part of this is the taxation and GDP-ification of everything. (not saying go back) for example when we traded housewives for house cleaners + hello fresh + fiverr assistants we got a double whammy of GDP growth (+ for the wife going to work, plus for the employees now doing her previously unaccounted work at a profit). And same story with IRS receivables. (again, not saying send women back home, just pointing out the accounting)
