>movie about struggling starving artist in the 80s set in New York>was living in a $2.5 million loft in BrooklynHow exactly was this possible?
>>201717301Before 1992, you could buy an entire block of New York apartments with a part-time summer job.
>>201717337How long until we get back to that point? The sweet spot between cheap housing and only a tolerable amount of crime and degeneracy?Cycle:Right wing policy cleans up the citycleaned up city attracts wealthy whitesPrices go upWhites vote for left wing policyLeft wing policy causes problems(we are here)Problems cause whites to leavePrices go downRight wing policies clean up etc
>>201717301These used to be like $100/month to rent.
>>201717301of fucking kill to have an apartment that big for so cheap
>>201717683Mass immigration and billionaires buying up all the housing they can mean the normal cycle has been broken Anon. It's never going to stop. The Left doesn't care because the migrants are cheap votes and the Right doesn't care because the migrants are cheap workers.
Modern America is a third world tier inequality dystopia, that's the thing.
>>201718497I'd like to see you live a month in the actual third world fucking whiny manbaby.
>>201717337No you couldn'tBut you could make enough to qualify for a mortgage on a townhomeIf you had were middle class you could afford to buy something in Caroll Gardens, Cobble Hill, Brooklyn Heights, Park Slope, Bay Ridge et ceterathat isn't a thing anymore. Unless you are two income couple with extremely high status jobs
>>201717301Don’t look at Chicago
>>201719088I don't understand how people pay that kind of money, why not just move to Greece or something?
>>201719240MUH HUSTLE AND BUSTLE FUCK YOU DAD AND YOUR BEAUTIFUL RURAL COMMUNITY IT'S NOT JUST A PHASE
>>201717683>(we are here)next: >gigacorporation buys the shitholes at low prices>holds it for 20 years because they can afford the interest payments>20 years later things finally start improving>house prices go up>billions of dollars in equity injected into gigacorp
>>201718497The problem is not inequality that some people are rich and other people are poorthe problem is the policies of Joe Biden and the Democrats are making people poor. We had COVID under Donald Trump and Joe Biden. March 2020-January 20, 2021 there was 2% inflation under Trump. There's been 20% inflation since then
>>201718458Maybe I could move to where the immigrants come from. If I'm going te be a starving artist anyway. I've got about 200k. Should be able to live fine with that and a parttime job somewhere.
>>201719604It's almost like Russia invaded Ukraine or something
>>201719604Not to mention the wonderful 2018 tax code which removed all barriers to profiteering. It's funny how it's 'Biden's fault' while corporations are posting record profits.
>>201719604>dollar is stronger than it's ever been to the Yen and Euro>stock market at it's highest>corporations posting record profits>inflation still a concernHmmm...
>>201719468I mean you know that big cities exist in other countries too right Ameritard?
>>201720364because immigrating countries is a huge life change you fucking moron. especially when you're massively downgrading from america to poor european shitholes.
>>201720790Richer than you faggot.
