Buying a house in a safe part of down close to city centers with an average paying job
This is solely because people of my generation, and younger, voted for "defund the police" style policies.
Living in a "safe" big city just isn't a thing anymore, and it won't be again until people wake up and realize that coddling criminals isn't good for anyone.

Look there is 1000 threads a day on the political talk echoing exactly that. With the same posters in here posting it. But for some reason I’m these threads they do a 180 and deny it
It's still pretty easy to live in a big city if you want. Extremely affordable even. It isn't safe, that's true, but the voting patterns of people under 40 are a large reason for that.

Most of the policies that out us where we are today are enacted before the youth of today could even vote

Buying a house in a safe part of down close to city centers with an average paying job That ship has sailed but it was the American dream not long ago
Can you buy a house in a safe part of town? Absolutely. Can you do it today? Not if you didn’t plan for it 5-10 years ago. If you want close to the city centers I’d invite you to see how much affordable housing is near the center of Paris? New York? LA? It’s the nature of cities, and we adapt to that, not the other way around.
The American dream is still alive and well, despite the desire of politicians and ideologues to kill it.

That’s after a 2 year degree and certifications passed.

Never said it did, but you said get a HS degree and find a good job, and then used a job requiring a 2-year associates degree. I was just pointing that out.
quote:

Probably, but working 30-40 hrs a week while in college is also possible and the majority of students do/used to do this 15 years ago.
All I was saying is that simply getting a HS degree is good enough to get you manual labor/minimum wage jobs. That’s it. Almost every job that you can make a career out of requires certifications/trainings because they do not invest in these any longer

Is that why so many of us were born in the suburbs and unincorporated areas around metro centers?

Nonsense. The idea that we should not prosecute theft crimes under $1,000 is extremely new. This was not a thing prior to COVID and the BLM/antifa/Democrat riots. This has made people FAR less safe.
Anti-gun policies have been a big thing in large cities for a while, and that does exacerbate this issue, but you won't find many young people who agree with the defund the police crap and also disagree with gun control.

how many people in this thread live in California or agree with any of their policies?
Despite the "OT centerist" meme this board is largely populated by white SEC grads, that is to say largely right-wing.

I'm the one who told him the number of houses available in Houston for under $200k. It's not a small number.
When you actually figure in the totality and size of the Houston metro area, it IS a comparatively small number.

not a terrible buy cause the med center is blowing up and will continue to do so.
But that area is ghetto. It is way worse just south of there but East of Main and south of OST is not anywhere i'd like to live
Little cluster of murders right there to show you.

This is our third Boomernomics thread this month and nobody has posted an Old Economy Steve meme?

It isn't just in California, but the answer is a number of people itt argue for these policies on the PT, or at least the politicians who usher in such policies, regularly.

If you were to fail out of high school and go to work for a tradesman, learn the trade, and then start your own business performing that trade, you'd be a lot better off than many college grads.

Government created this mess, and younger generations will undoubtedly turn to the government to ease their pain. Untortunately, that will cause more pain.

What went wrong is cultural. There are no safe affordable areas for kids to start out. They are all crime ridden slums.
Texas metropolitan suburbs are excellent places to begin careers. Always has been. Always will be. They’re expensive compared to rural Texas but they’re definitely affordable compared to NY, LA, SF, Denver, Tampa, and Seattle.
