The other day, there was a news segment about how expensive it is to live in my reigon. Mind you, my reigon isn't exactly known for having great hospitals or infrastructure. We have discarded drug paraphernalia littering children's parks and streets. We have a lot of random, unprovoked violence. Robberies, muggings, assaults, murders, you name it. People even steal toddler tricycles to sell for scrap money. It's pathetic how far this reigon has fallen. No good mental health resources or rehabs to help people, either. We do have a shelter that police are nearly constantly called to. The whole system is broken.

For the joy of owning a home in this shithole, they expect that you would need an annual household income of over 200k.

I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to feel a lot of anger when certain people complain about young people having less kids.
