Remarkably, these issues you've articulated perfectly-capture the progressive bugbear zeitgeist and yet do not seem to have much (if any) support in the original article.
Is it possible it actually might be the phones somehow as she argues?
- sanderjd 3y agoThe comment you replied to agrees that it's the phones (well, the social media accessed by the phones)... But then it asks, why? It's not orthogonal, it's additive. And I might suggest that the author of the essay very likely hasn't considered this next level deeper, because "this is water".
- foxyv 3y agoIf you think car dependency is an imaginary problem (bugbear), I would invite you to walk or ride a bicycle more. You may find that the bugbear is just a bear. As for housing affordability and wage suppression, these are just established facts. One visit to Zillow to look at a place you used to live is enough. My old apartment that cost $800/month is currently going for $2400/month 8 years later. Minimum wage hasn't changed since 2009 and is currently $7.24/hour.
