I've read this a couple times and still don't see what it has to do with the comment that it responds to.

It's a counterpoint to :

"Our housing policies have broken this social contract. Many younger people cannot afford to live in high opportunity but high priced cities. Those that can, often only do so because of help from family"

No, your post was an emotional reaction based on some who-knows-what chip on your shoulder that propelled you to launch a strawman attacking an anonymous commentator. You know nothing of my personal situation. Nor, it seems, do you know much about the personal situations of younger people of modest backgrounds and modest means who simply want to live in the high priced city they were raised.

I suggest more emotional reflection.

It wasn't a strawman, it's a direct reply and I'm zero percent emotional. What are you talking about?
Condos built and decorated in the 1970s are approaching a million dollars in our neighborhood. New ones are two million. Do tell.
Your neighborhood isn't a starter neighborhood and there are thousands of others in the country.
Not near RTO coastal jobs.
