He's complaining that cheaper areas aren't good enough for him and that his current area is too expensive.
He thinks he's entitled to more before others who have less, just like most city-folk.
Your arrogance and projection shines through your comments. Reddit sucks indeed, and you are making lemmy a more toxic and miserable place to be. Blocked
Right. Nobody likes to acknowledge when they're being entitled.
Yourself included, it would seem.
How am I being entitled?
"These rich city slickers always insist on living in places with 'demand for their skill sets'." The sheer moral entitlement of implicitly declaring yourself arbiter of what "too good" is, and who thinks they're it, and who's allowed to complain about material corruption intrinsic to their cost of living.
