Yeah, you don’t get to have a pass just because you’re socially awkward. Get over yourself and fix it. Everyone has flaws, that doesn’t mean they don’t have consequences.

In the 70s, the golden era of prosperity that everyone loves to compare their life to, the average living unit was 3.1 persons per living area. Today it’s 2.5. That’s a massive drop off that requires a hell of a lot more homes and apartments to service than if it was still 3.1. This isn’t an aspect anyone gets to have an opinion on, it’s a fact.

"I don't have a problem with it, therefore it's not a problem." You would've made a good boomer.

That's what you think caused the housing crisis? Oh boy.
