[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lived in Arlington until I was seven.

My parents sold.

When I moved back to the area, I couldn't afford the kind of home we had sold.

But, you know, that's life!  No one's entitled to be able to buy in the exact neighborhood they want at the time they want.

My parents' generation bought great homes in Chevy Chase, Takoma Park, etc.  Because they. bought in the 70s.

I can't afford any of those.  But I can afford other neighborhoods and I'm not poor.  Same's true for you![/quote]

Translation: It’s all your fault for not being born in the right time period to afford these house. Gentrification is inevitable, that’s life! You’re not entitled to live in the formerly middle-class homes you grew up in, only the trust-funds and ultra-privileged transients are, get with the times! Unrealistic house costs during a time where the generation pinned down by student loan sharks more than any other generation is about to become the next generation of new families is totally normal. I mean, they don’t need to save up for retirement, right? Those lazy bums with PhDs making $170k can just keep working until they die of a heart attack on the job at the age of 94. I can’t believe these millennials think that they’re soooooo entitled to a 3 bed/3 bath house on a 0.40 acre lot when they only make $200,000 together and have UMich degrees. If you wanted to afford a decent house near DC, maybe you should have decided to be a sperm cell in your grandfather’s testes instead of your father’s!

It’s 2020. Living in the former ghetto within a 30 minute drive from the city is a luxury. [/quote]
