I don't know the area specifically, but in my experience near me, they're usually more expensive per square foot, but about the same price for a "home". However, if you're looking for a place to hold two kids, usually there isn't a lot of options, or they are really expensive.

I rode my bike to my urban campus for three years and then to a couple of jobs outside in the nearby area for two more. I miss those days so much.
Even though while I was there, I always felt like it was a pain in the butt and a compromise. I was kind of a sweaty guy, so it's much easier if I have a shower to go to in the building that I arrive in, but many buildings around me did, so that wasn't a problem. I've also learned some people just ride slower and don't need to shower haha.
The weather in my area can be cold but not super cold and very rarely snow. But I would always obsessively look at the weather and make sure that I was prepping properly.
When I finally moved away and got a better car and started driving more, I thought I was living more privileged. But for whatever reason I always missed biking and I didn't understand why.
Once I learned about the no car movement I realized that when biking in an urban environment, everything else about my life besides my commute was so much easier, and my commute was only a little bit harder than driving. There are ways I could have made it even easier so honestly that wasn't even that bad.
It's one of those things that you have to experience it to understand but once you do you realize that micro mobility is way more convenient for getting around. Then, without massive parking lots, massive 6 lane straods, massive department stores, massive front yards, things aren't too far away from each other.
With the exception of the front yards, all of those things just exist to facilitate the car. Like, without the car, you don't need those things, and then every other form of travel becomes easier. But with those things, only cars become viable. It's kind of crazy.
Yeah, I like driving when it's fun. Like by myself through the country roads when no one else is on the road haha.
Going down my local stroad just pisses me off haha. I'd sell my car and move to a city if I didn't have kids (I can deal with public transit but it's not good enough for kids in my area)
At this point in time I'm completely convinced that the Democrats in office love how bad the state of the country is because it means they get to push for teeny-tiny little baby steps to make it slightly less terrible whilehere, while everybody ignores the fact that genocide is happening under their watch, and World War 3 are around the corner.
It's the exact same tactic the Republicans did. Throw a bunch of crazy shit out there so the media focuses entirely on that, including cultural issues, while secretly pushing a whole bunch of legislation towards the right without argument.
Only when the Democrats are doing stuff behind the scenes, it's not pushing the country the left, It's still pushing the country to the right, just not quite as fast.
allows states to enforce laws that replace faithless electors
Ah, yeah that's a whole 'nuther problem. Comes after the initial problem of actually getting those 270 in their seats and to vote in unison.
all for the FBI to assassinate the candidate
Damn, that's true. so many problems with that idea haha!
Yeah, it actually really confuses me that people say that your vote matters in the USA. Even if you're fully bought into the system, D's or R's, you can't fucking deny that the Electoral College is gonna do whatever it fucking wants. The electoral college mostly ignores what its people say ( Obviously, they mostly align, but some counties that flipped last election, they decided to ignore that, and some counties didn't flip, and they decided to ignore that too). There were electoral college members that voted third party in Trump vs Clinton. Like what? Talk about a protest vote haha.
Hell, if American Communists could get their act together and just get as many people secretly into the Electoral College as possible, we could totally fucking run a coup in this place ( Okay, okay. Once you become a part of the system, you tend to have a hard time fighting it. So, honestly, that probably wouldn't work).
Better as a capitalist meme:
Capitalist: are you a capitalist? Worker: Yes, and proud of it! Capitalist: good, pisses on the floor... Clean up my piss Worker: ewww no C: I'll pay you a dollar W: no, I'm leaving C: points to guard at the door holding an AR you just gotta pay him and he'll let you leave W: how much? C: A dollar W: What else can I do? C: nothing W: This is oppression C: No it isn't, you have the "freedom" not to clean up my piss and instead just die of starvation in this room W: technically you're correct so I have no argument against you, this is the best system ever developed by humans

Okay I gotta workshop it a bit I think it could be paired down.
This was really insightful, I liked the concrete examples, thank you!
I can't tell if it's just a click-baity image, or a real claim. But I don't care to watch the video to find it out lol.
Always upvote my boy Ben!
Holy shit this goes hard. Such a great use of the meme!
No way. This can't be real. No one is dumb enough to think he invented electric cars.
I mean, people might be dumb enough to think his IQ is 175, and that he's a self taught neuroscientist, blah blah. Those things are really hard to "disprove" (even if they are harder to prove)... But not EVs. Like, what?
Please tell me people aren't that dumb. Oh god please tell me.. Oh no, I think it's real.
