[quote=paramount][quote=bearishgurl] No one … and I mean NO ONE is “trapped” in exurban hell. [/quote]
Can you please elaborate on what you mean by “exurban hell”?[/quote]
“Exurban hell” refers to areas where there is a dearth of jobs that pay well enough to support a household …. or even half of a household in comparison with its population. That said, many families choose to move to exurban hell all the while knowing that their commute(s) to work will be an hour-plus each way. These people made the bed they’re sleeping in and continue to sleep in it every day they choose to remain where they are living.
I have nothing against anyone’s housing choices, paramount (including yours or mine). But I am in the camp of those who firmly believe that every single able-bodied adult of sound mind needs to take responsibility for themselves and own their own sh!t (choices they made). In my experience, too many adults (boomers and seniors included) are of the “victim” mentality where they incessantly complain about having been a “victim” (of someone else) their entire lives and this is the reason they weren’t able to accomplish xxx or are in a compromising or seemingly untenable position today.
It’s akin to buying a home directly under an airport landing path and then claiming the noise is ruining your hearing (and quality of life).
