You still can, you just need to leave major cities.
Unfortunately, entitlement goes both ways for renters and landlords. They think they're entitled to maximize profit, you think you're entitled to live in places you can't afford.
Just unchecked greed all around, and the real people who suffer are the ones living in areas "not good enough" for you. But hey, you should get more before them, right?
Edit to all the downvoters: wake me up when somebody else solves your problems for you. I can wait.
i really wish we could mute words on here, because anyone throwing around the word 'entitled' definitely has sinister motives at best
yes, people are ENTITLED to a place to live without being gouged their whole lives.
And these people have options to avoid that. The problem is, they refuse to take them because they feel they are entitled to live in places they can barely afford.
Why do you people always replace arguments with your own misunderstandings as though you have a point? I think it's because you spend too much time on these forums and lose touch with what makes an effective argument.
Here, all that matters is that people agree with you. Being correct or logical is irrelevant.
They refuse to take those options because it would involve the massive hassle and expense of moving to a place where they are not from, do not know anybody, do not like, and which has terrible public services.
Wanting to live a good life is not entitled.
Yes, but why should these people get more before others who have less? Especially if they can't afford it.
That is textbook entitlement and you don't understand language if you cannot acknowledge that.
