I live in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. I bought my place in 2016 and I competed with other locals for this modest home. I was not the highest bidder but the seller honored our verbal agreement. By 2021 this house was valued at over $800k. I paid $185k. No local, including myself can afford this house.
This is unsustainable.
I go to Hawaii a lot for work. And only work. Get off plane, get onsite, work, sleep, get on plane.
Every time I get an Uber, they talk about cost of living, unprompted by me. They ask how much it is in SoCal, one of the worst and most expensive places to live in the entire country.
They’re always shocked by how much cheaper it is.
Born and raised locals work like slaves every day for the bourgeois that can afford to stay in the Hyatt resorts and residences and Hiltons and….
Buying a home is simply not something local working class even considers possible. And they’re forced to watch as every year, more $2MM 600sqft condos get built, blocking out the beautiful ocean.
Meanwhile Zuck and Obama and a hundred others are buying hundreds of acres for their mansions. While the kupuna die in the streets.
Rich neighborhoods like Portlock full of the parasite class, contributing nothing to the state yet demanding any public works stop.
Hawaii is the first wave of the American collapse.
As I always say to any leftist. Stay armed and practiced. The current economic model is in active collapse. Intel and Boeing are the most obvious examples.
Lmao anything to try and blame Obama. Anyone thst has to declare theyre on the left after blaming Obama is clearly just a republican that knows their message will be utterly ignored if its known. Try blaming billionaires not someone who doesnt even have 1% of their wealth.
