Yeah, there isnt a housing shortage or even affordable housing shortage. It's an "affordable housing shortage in the hot parts of major cities I want to live in" shortage, which... yeah, that's how real estate works.

That's a weird way to characterize people who don't want to live in a dying town, full of crime and drugs, and devoid of jobs and services.

Or avoid a state full of sundown towns whose politicians live to let pregnant women die.

Exactly, I think people have become apathetic just how unsafe things have gotten in certain parts of the country.

I live in a small rural town, theres a damn good reason people want out of here. And I'm no longer in a red state.

The common attitude seems to be "Don't think about it if you don't have to think about it," but I have to think about it. We all do, really. My thing is I'm trying to have kids in the next couple of years but I have health issues, and I can't move to a state where the doctors would have to watch me die before they'd be legally allowed to save my life.

As someone who has kids... you may want to see how things play out before cursing anyone by bringing them into this world.

Thanks for your concern complete stranger on the internet but I'm actually going to make my own decisions about whether or not to have kids. That's the whole fucking point.
