Shopping malls being used for apartments

[Ezekiel 25:17]

This whole Idea that people can keep moving where there is no resources to better save money is not reality. The ones who will actually be able to do that are probably working remote and will come to these places and drive up costs eventually. The towns themselves need to build up and attract people so that they can organically grow and sustain the population. Otherwise a bunch of people rushing to remote places with no jobs and resources to save money isn't logical if they don't come with money or entrepreneurship

We aren't talking about jobs here, I'm under the assumption people already have jobs, they just can't afford a house in their city. In that case they should think about moving. You're making an assumption that there aren't any up and coming cities.



And you're making an assumption that lessor known cites don't have jobs. If you never lived there, how do you know? Lesser known cities tend to have a cheaper cost of living too How is a town supposed to build itself without tax payer money?? People got to move there. You can be living in a cornfield on day, then 10 years later it's a metropolis.

It's a hard pill to swallow, but folks gone have to move.

The reason why people are struggling in expensive cities is because that's where jobs are. I know only remote workers that do what you saying and even that has kind of backfired as businesses push for return to work.. because cities want to support the eco systems that revolves around daily workers commuting.

Business have conspired to end what works for people to keep facilitating business . From vacant offices to everything in-between that was negatively affected. A town is supposed to attract investment. Or offer business incentives if it isn't offering employment opportunities

Again,

You're making assumptions up and coming cities aren't out there and don't already have jobs. I'm not saying folks should move to cornfields, I'm just saying they should check out lesser known cities. That's the most realistic option. I had a cousin who lived in Arkansas, out in the boonies, that area is now a big suburb with a small surrounding city.


Everybody is congested in NY, CHI, LA, ATL, etc. Find some lesser known places that are already up and coming.

Lmao thank you

Most of the jobs are in city centres and not everyone has free mobility like WFH or works in a field where a new city could compliment it

 

[Brandsdale]

Not sure why this mobility argument comes up

If you’re Canadian like myself, ALL jobs are centred around BC, Ontario (where Toronto is), Alberta and Quebec. Most other provinces barely have 1 mill+ people and there is still a lack of infrastructure especially if you’re someone already doing well in your career. Most jobs in the surrounding aread anre either oil rigs, oil sands, construction or specific trades. Even areas like Alberta are losing jobs in the oil sector as well

This idea of mobility and “just move bro” isn’t realistic unless you have a fully remote job.

the overwhelming majority of people in latin america don't have access to next day delivery for e-commerce. and far more people are cash only consumers.

So what. Better quality of life down there

 

[CashmereThoughts]

So what. Better quality of life down there

"down their" is extremely vast. I'm Panamanian, own a home in Panama and spend a lot of time there. have a ton of family members that moved to the states and nobody there or here says its a better quality of life.

Can see it now.

Unchecked Capitalism creates greed.

The fact that in the USA it's "a dollar over everything" mentality don't help. EVERYTHING is about the dollar here and that's why this country will fall.

Facts

The actual problem is property owners voting against building new houses because scarcity drives up property value.

Zoning laws prevent states from doing anything about it, and politicians are scared to challenge those laws. The problem seems to be worse in liberal areas, which is why people are frustrated and feel like the democrat party has abandoned the working class.

We have plenty of space, if Japan can build the infrastructure to house 100+ million people on an island smaller than California, then we can do the same with alot more space. But the solution would require property owners to sacrifice the value of their property for a better society, but capitalism would never allow that to happen without regulation.
