These stories are always bullshit. They can't afford a 3000sqft single family home on an acre inside the beltway of a HCOL city. Anyone making $250k can easily afford a condo or townhome anywhere in the US. If you really need useless interior volume or wasteful yard space then you can move farther out and afford that.

Wasteful yard space? Do you enjoy playing Frisbee buddy? How about just running around with your kids.

What is a public park?

[–] ilinamorato@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

In a lot of neighborhoods in the US, you have to cross major, high-traffic streets to get to a fairly small public park.

Then that is less of a city and more dystopian urban sprawl pretending to be a city.
