      These are your future entrants to the housing market, not permarenters like HS dropouts without a clue will be.

      The one I remember off the top of my head was some probable permarenter saying 300k 1 bedrooms in River North are INSANE and will never sell. Funny stuff.

      Yes, permarenter here, with one kid and another on the way. We optimised for quality of life: expensive rent in an overvalued area but no commute and a family-oriented neighborhood, possibly similar to your experience.

      THAT is the issue, not the twisted point you just said. Stick to discussions about renting because it's clear you know NOTHING as a LARPing permarenter.
