ppl in this blog are way too impatient and self-centered.
high housing prices put a big burden on young couples who want to start families. i notice they are plenty of yuppies in california who postpone marriage or stay single.
while indivduals have the freedom/choice to make their own decisions the end result of these choices are the following
1. low birth rate among upper middle class folks especially in the coastal states and new england.
2. lack of funding for schools especially those of poor/working class kids (a lot of whom happen to be legal/illegal Latinos in California). I vehemently oppose illegal immigration and amnesty. But societal implications of under-educated Latinos youth are not hard to imagine. it does not do any good to housing values come 2025-2030.
3. oblivious to cultural concerns of those parents trying to raise kids
more trash on network and cable television.
more tolerance of alternate lifestyles
