[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love that OP is defining entitlement as wanting to be able to afford housing on your salary.

I think it's entitled for people who already own houses to think they can dictate what happens to all the land around them, in order to ensure they can one day sell their home for 3-4x what they paid for it.

But I guess we just get to define words however we want now.[/quote]

Except there is affordable housing, it's just that peoples' expectations don't match reality.  Oh my God, so you can't afford a 3 or 4 bedroom home with a yard and a garage in your salary. Boo hoo.  Who said you were entitled to that because you exist and work a job?  Go buy a condo for less than $200k.

Of course no one ever wants to tell people they need to reset their expectations and Iive within their means because everyone is entitled to anything they want these days. [/quote]

And where would I find this magical condo under 200K, given that my job is tied to DC?[/quote]

Go live in Baltimore. There are many, maaaaany homes and apartments in Baltimore under $200k. Take the MARC down
like many people do.  You just make tons of excuses for why you don't buy.  The problem is that you feel entitled to live in downtown DC (one of the priciest markets in the country) even though there are alternatives available, although they may not be your first choice.  So much entitlement mentality. [/quote]
