Fuck this post. "romanticize living at a comfortable apartment in the city"

PEOPLE ALREADY DO!

the point is to romanticize it, there's a very pervasive idea nowadays that living in an apartment is somehow suboptimal

I mean, being a perpetual renter and building 0 equity is suboptimal.

But more importantly, finding affordable housing in most cities is aspiration itself.
