What this girl apparently doesn’t realize is that for many of these professional jobs, there are millions of immigrants from places like Mumbai and Beijing who think a two-hour commute (each way) to a job in New York City or Philadelphia or Los Angeles is a dream life.

Again, we can thank the previous generations for importing armies of Third Worlders to work for slave wages.

It was primarily the boomers that (a) imported the third world hordes and (b) shipped the good paying jobs to China and Mexico.

Young people have long commutes because living close to a decent paying job means taking the chance of getting raped, shot, or stabbed. Even here in Iowa the best paying jobs are in the areas infested with pavement apes. So, you are forced to get a place at least 30 minutes away from the “city”.

I would assume that it is much worse in more “diverse” states.
