I agree with @dora_da_destroyer I think increased density, transit access, and public spaces would make cities more affordable and livable. Suburban sprawl is waste of resources and unsustainable. Most people have to work where there are jobs, access to health care, and ease of transportation and that isn't the suburbs or some rural area.

I do enjoy living in cities and live in them by choice.


The suburbs and smaller cities in decline should be bulldozed.

if you can afford 2k in rent even if thats a barely. find you a little house and let that be that. not rent, but buy it. at this point in time that is the only way you can survive. you can make a pretty good living but if you're renting and not making a GREAT living. you too will one day be priced out. thats how insane these rents are going up.

You ain’t gonna find a house that cheap anywhere close to where the work is.

Not everyone can live in major cities, cause,no one would have disposable income to pay hyper inflated rent prices and property taxes. Majority of the people in Cali paying over 40% of their monthly income on rent alone......that's not a stable economy.

More good paying jobs should spread to smaller cities to reduce traffic density and overcrowded public transportation. America being a service economy is detrimental to growth and basically a path to a Banana Republic 3rd world country. We should have never outsourced those factory jobs back in the 80s.
