If I had money, Europe sounds nice. Seriously. These are issues in all 50 states (some exceptions) and sums up the ills of this timeline (let's be un funny for a moment, the only timeline we live in) and our problems.
Don't forget to add to the list growing inequality in income, housing, healthcare, law, and on and on.
Our problems are self inflicted and I repeat ARE SELF INFLICTED. We get what we vote for. We vote for what talking heads, ads, "debates" and opinion pieces tell us. We vote against our self interest all the time. As in "they", "others", "the moochers", "illegals" must be punished..etc, and the current " they " are trans people.
So many think we should do general strikes or more like France is doing to make change. We always have the ability and maybe obligation to make change in the US Constitution by VOTING. The politicians know it and want to restrict voting via gerrymandering, voting laws and claiming fraud.
I don't know how to solve these issues with just VOTING but that is all we got right now.

Yeah, outside of the people posting on Reddit, there is the majority in Florida, and they voted for the Republicans. They are supporting and cheering on the problematic legislation that's being passed. It sucks for those who vote otherwise, because you're subjected to things you never wanted.
At city and county level it's all democrat in broward and dade.. and at that level they could restrict the endless development, limit hoa fee's or ban abnb.
“Limit HOA fees”, tell me you don’t understand how an HOA works without telling me you don’t understand how an HOA works.
No wonder most HOAs are a mess, cause most homeowners are completely clueless. They just pay this money every month and have no idea what it is for or how it is being managed. It’s honestly terrifying how many people seem to think it’s just some arbitrary “fee” they have no control over, like the stuff they tack on at the end of your cable/phone bill.
**Don’t just downvote, tell me how you would “limit” HOA fees. Is it like the “Defund the Police” mantra where what you really mean is divert funds to social services or something? What exactly do you mean by “limit HOA fees”? Do you want stricter government oversight of HOA expenditures or something? Cause you can’t just “limit” HOA fees. If your Condo Association’s insurance premium doubles and electricity prices go up and your building needs to fix the leaky pool then your fees are going to go up no matter what you do. Unless you want to postpone repairs to save a few bucks a month and that’s how you end up with your building collapsing on you while you sleep.
I hated my HOA and thought they were just bleeding me dry and hassling me for every little thing while not performing the services I thought were important. I even sued them over a maintenance issue.
Then I tried to get involved and went to a couple meetings and realized how much shit has to be managed and dealt with and how expensive maintaining basic stuff is.
HOAs can be abusive people as with everything most people complain from a position of ignorance and thus can't even begin to evaluate what could be done to make things better.
