So leave. I just don't get that.<p>I mean, we're literally talking about a group of people with lower-to-middle class US jobs, who, on a daily basis, go to an auction together with a large amount of billionaires and millionaires, and bid against them for real estate, food and all kinds of amenities. To me, that's a joke.<p>And then an article gets written about a staffer vs contractor dichotomy.<p>Come on. Just because you were born in a place of 50 square miles of land, in a country of 3.5 million square miles of land, does not mean you're entitled to the laws of supply and demand being suspended by a massive subsidy program so that you can keep on living there when you're not needed and there's tons of people waiting in line for your spot who're willing to do it for less, while you are needed in other cities where your family can live much more affordably.<p>And this is coming from a leftist who left his own home town because it got overrun by rich kids with daddy's money and expats. I didn't like it either. But I also saw that I was not entitled to hand outs in order for me to live in the most prime location in the country, because everyone wants that and that just does not work, as much as we want it.<p>And the last thing I'm going to do is try to outbid the 1% as a middle class earner and have a shitty quality of life. Working fulltime without kids for 6 months and being homeless all that time because the average rent equals your pay just means you need to move. You've got skills, you're employable, you've got income...
