    It’s not about wants, it’s about needs.

    If you can’t afford to live somewhere, you have to move somewhere else. Thinking otherwise is textbook entitlement.

    If these places aren’t good enough for you, then you need to make more money to live somewhere else or do your part to make them better.

    Thinking otherwise is textbook entitlement.

      What’s actually entitled is thinking that people should just shut up and accept shit choices to preserve your property value (and commodified housing in general <.<) instead of building more goddamned dense housing and infrastructure.

      “Suck it up” is one of the worst phrases invented. I’ve only ever seen it used to justify hierarchy, subjugation, abuses of power, and not changing things for the better. Its existence primarily serves the interests of those with power.

        No, what’s entitled is thinking you deserve more before others who have less without being able to afford it yourself.

        That’s textbook entitlement, lol.
