From our OP
What do you mean I can't afford an apartment downtown working 32.5 hours a week 
Centretown’s average household income among property owners in between 85k and 90k.
maybe i'm a wacky leftist but... good? lets make everyone get 60k?? why not?
If you read anything in this thread read this chain, truly the peak of reddit financial literacy.
If you work for minimum wage sorry, you shouldn't expect to live on your own. Not in today's world.
Being born a leaf is tantamount to being griefed every day of your life

I think the thing i hate most about progressives is the way the constantly make excuses when someone provides them a solution. Go live in the suburbs if you can’t afford downtown “ohhh but i’m disabled (read: fat or anxiety)”. Go find a better job “ohhh but i don’t have any skills”.
These people truly are children. Progressives from families with money embrace their extended childhood by going to grad school and getting doctorates because they too don’t have any skills so they just remain in a classroom from the age of 5 to 30. Progressives from families without money get booted in to the world and then complain that they don’t live in a penthouse in a prime location even though they work 32.5 hours a week as a barista.
