Solution: move to a small town, Mr/Mrs Entitlement! Somewhere cheaper to live, where coincidentally the pay is lower and opportunities aren’t as abundant. Also extremely limited mass-transit options but hey that’s why you buy a car and get tied up in that whole mess. Not to mention property values doubling/tripling post-covid but I’m sure most folks have a few $100k laying around, especially in these particularly prosperous times.
The fact that cars are necessary is really awful for poor people. I’m driving a 28-year-old car if a salvage title and I’m still paying hundreds for gasoline insurance and keeping fluids in it since it leaks oil, and that’s when it’s not burning the oil, because anything else would be unaffordable. We really need to stretch out grade separated rail Transit as deep into the suburbs as possible and then densify around it

Perhaps it’s just a skill issue though? Lol
Also vastly fewer cultural and social options. Poor people don’t deserve those things, I guess!
Poor people deserve to suffer, is an opinion far too many people hold.
