Keyword: worse.<p>That is, we&#x27;ve been building up to this. Many, sans the (disconnect) elites, have been feeling the pain for too long. You can&#x27;t intentional neglect so many for so long and then expect them to vote &quot;rationally.&quot;<p>In any case, this is the second mainstream source - the other was Marketplace (NPR) - that blames the common man &#x2F; woman *and* WFH.<p>It&#x27;s not the lack of new housing. It&#x27;s not the fact that Wall Street types are buying up residential property at scale. And it&#x27;s not the Fed for over-indulging in cheap money for too long.<p>Nah.<p>It&#x27;s you and me, and wanting to be more connected to our families. It&#x27;s sad to see NYT so fallen.
