My favorite part was "How many of <X> are within a 30 minute commute without owning a car?"

About half.

But here's the thing. I do own a car. I own three. Because I can afford to do so, because my rent isn't $2/sq ft. I have a 3000 sq ft house with a fully finished basement, two car garage, a 300 sq ft storage shed/workshop on an acre of land. I have three dogs and two cats that run around the back yard having fun. I have a wife, three kids, and a widowed mother who live with me and there's plenty of space for all of us.

And my rent isn't rent, it's a mortgage at 2.25% that will be paid off in 12 more years, right as my youngest child is graduating college. And it's still less than $2000 a month for all that. I can afford spectacular health insurance, seven figure life insurance for myself and my wife, have no revolving debt, and put 20% of our income away each month for retirement. My projected income at retirement is higher than my current income.

So yeah, I will sacrifice being able to take a smelly, crowded train to an overpriced restaurant, paying half a week's wages to look at a banana duct taped to a wall in person, and buy $12 cups of coffee while listening to some loser read his shitty poetry that he wrote in some coffee shop because he can't afford his own internet.

Instead, I will drive myself and my family to the local dog park, then go over to a friend's house and enjoy a backyard BBQ, then go home and sit around the fire in our backyard making s'mores and talking about what we're going to do on our campout the next weekend.

So feel free to keep throwing your money away and complaining about your landlord and how you're so poor while still making the decisions that got you there to begin with. I'll be busy managing the wealth I plan to leave to my grandchildren so they can all have their houses paid off by the time they are forty and leave their own grandchildren enough wealth to never have to take a mortgage in the first place.

I'm sure your great-great-grandchildren will still be complaining about how poor they are and have to live in a pod and eat bugs to survive, but it's still totally better than us stupid uncultured suburbanites.

Wait, what am I saying? They won't even exist. You cut your dick off to feel like a real girl.

Literally just left the city when all this "kill whitey" shit started. My life is now the starter version of yours and we couldn't be happier. We're not worried about being mugged, carjacked, or worse any more. I'm not worried about a stray bullet killing my child. We no longer hear sirens, gunshots, or fireworks at 3 AM. When I go to the store I see families, not unwashed loiterers who reek of weed.

And all this for the low low price of way less than we were paying for the "privilege" of living in hell.
