>>$5000 and up annual property tax bill. How many young families can afford that?! Or can afford to have one parent stay home with a financial burden like that in addition to all the other expenses. Deep State knows damn well what it’s doing.
Your points are excellently made and expressed.
Our environment is determined external to us. We didn’t choose to be born and live life during the stable 50’s or turbulent 60’s or wild and wooly 70’s, or whenever. We are thrown into a whirlwind created by the current political climate and all we can do is the best possible to manage in the environment we’re given.
My family was able to buy a house by scrimping and saving and me wearing the same pair of jeans for years. The house was small. It was far from work. But we made it into the real estate market. None of my niece’s children are able to do that in today’s economy. We weren’t better than they are now. We were in a different economic environment, as you pointed out so well.
Your insight is part of what I love about FR. You stop me and make me think from a different direction. Thank you.
You’re welcome, mairdie.
