Same town I live in because my kids will kill me if we have to move again.

But bigger and not from 1850 (though I do like my old house for its floor plan, I don't like the design of most new construction, I would love a mid-century in Concord or Lexington).

> High paying ones

Or pay more at the jobs that already exist.

> But yes, better low cost healthcare

By moving toward a single-payer system like medicare for all.

> day care to help those who have kids

Not even remotely enough supply. Universal pre-K would be a massive boon to society, but nah. Those kids should suffer instead while we blame their underemployed and under-educated caregivers who themselves cannot access economic opportunity, or are flat-out denied it.

> PSA: don’t have kids unless you want them.

How do you know they didn't want them?

Lots of parents want a kid but aren't up to taking care of them. Very different than not wanting them. This includes economically secure parents.

Not to mention the other myriad variables that go into it.

Increasing access to education, healthcare, and economic opportunity will simultaneously improve outcomes for all children and cause people to have fewer children.

San Francisco has 20 Salesforce Towers worth of empty office space.

That is 28,000,000 sqft of empty space in a city with a similar housing crisis.

Last movie I saw was Everything Everywhere All At Once and my wife posed a good question:

How come every time there is a movie we want to see it is from them?

We aren't really paying attention, but most movies we have liked for the past few years has been from them. Probably the last five movies we saw in theaters were from them. What makes A24 so different?

The solution is to create more supply and end price gouging by landlords. Bloomberg law reported that some of the largest landlord corporations have been colluding to drive prices up. The only entity that can fix this is government, but even in MA government is pathetically weak-willed.

So they can strike the second largest artery in the body and they bleed out?

People out here living in cartoons like you can reasonably train this kind of accuracy. Guns are for killing. It's not like the movies.

How about no guns? Hospital staff do it all the time so can cops. My sister works at a halfway house and she had dealt with shit like this without a gun.

Its also how we have structured things. Investment pours into high wealth low crime areas. The areas that really need investment are ignored and just get worse and worse. Repeat constantly all over America.

I grew up in Needham and it was a paradise. Tons of families and school age kids. Great schools. Of course as a teenager it was the worst place in the world but looking back its crazy how lucky I was.

There are still a lot of families but every parent you talk to in the playground is a doctor or an engineer or something.

All the five bedrooms being slapped together on my old street are being bought but childless couples, which I am not judging, but its weird going back remembering that street filled with kids. Kids are all spaced out now instead of all living on the block.
