There is no economic crisis.

If stuff was too expensive people wouldn't buy it. However, retail and food sales continue at a healthy pace. No worries.

If it was that bad EVERYONE would be shopping at ALDI.

Americans are so separated from true hardship that they've lost perspective.

Even our homeless people are fat.

"Affordability" is a real crisis now.

Affordability is in the wheelhouse of unelected city planners.

Not if you ask your Congressperson. Oh wait, they're the ones complaining about it publicly, then they go to the nearest bar and wash their mouths out with alcohol while muttering, "I can't believe I said that."

That's you in the bar, not our congress critters.

I changed that post. Reread please.

The problem's wheel house is the oval office.

Our congress critters are powerless in this regard. That's why they drink so much.

I consider myself a man of modest+ means and I can afford what I want within reason.

I really don't lust after stuff I can't afford because, well, I can't afford it.....Too rich for my blood is something to live by.

"Mah affordability" is a lot about mind set and willpower.

It's not the president's job to legislate what developments cities plan and build, although certain federal policies could influence how cities plan their developments.

They buy it...because when it comes to food and shelter, they have to. That doesn’t mean they can afford it....

Ignoring Reality stops working when the tiger opens his mouth to eat you .

The problem is easy credit and lack of spender's willpower.
