Saw someone from the south say that the reason Bay Area people ‘can’t live on 100K’ is they have luxuries like nice houses and cars instead of ‘a starter home in the suburbs’ and a ‘mid range car like a Toyota’ and lady I don’t think you know what you are talking about
Try 3x-ing that to get any of those things and childcare
Not saying it’s not possible, but you can’t compare one of the most expensive places in the world to.. the south.
My theory is that almost every major global city has almost the same housing price issues (except Tokyo, but it’s not easy to move there and live there). My housing options are the same in SF and Singapore.
It would also take me a lot to move outside one of these cities. Not because I don’t think life is worth living outside, but because I value some things more than home ownership.
@skinnylatte and Vienna, Austria. Non profit housing is the only way to go.
@mayintoronto Vienna is nice but I somehow don’t really consider it a major global city hehe
@skinnylatte Fair. Their housing is ridiculously affordable though.
@mayintoronto when I visited as a teenager on a school trip and was walking around minding my own business, old people there also told the cops to ‘keep an eye on those kids’.
seems great for folks from there tho
