    i really wish we could mute words on here, because anyone throwing around the word ‘entitled’ definitely has sinister motives at best

    yes, people are ENTITLED to a place to live without being gouged their whole lives.

      people are ENTITLED to a place to live without being gouged their whole lives.

      And these people have options to avoid that. The problem is, they refuse to take them because they feel they are entitled to live in places they can barely afford.

      Why do you people always replace arguments with your own misunderstandings as though you have a point? I think it’s because you spend too much time on these forums and lose touch with what makes an effective argument.

      Here, all that matters is that people agree with you. Being correct or logical is irrelevant.

        They refuse to take those options because it would involve the massive hassle and expense of moving to a place where they are not from, do not know anybody, do not like, and which has terrible public services.

        Wanting to live a good life is not entitled.

        So let me get this straight. You say people in rural areas have it the worst, yet also claim that people should leave the cities and move to rural areas where “nobody wants to live” in order to gain a better life? You’ll have to explain that logic.

          Sure! No problem. I can tell reason and rhetoric is not your strong suit!

          You see, if we agree that people living in rural America have it worse than those in urban America, then why should those in urban America get more before those in rural America? If they can’t afford it, especially. Why should they get more before those who have less?

          Textbook entitlement. And you all pretend not to understand it because you’re in on it.

          Have fun waiting for someone else to solve your problems for you.

            So you’re just going to pretend that you weren’t making a completely different nonsensical argument a couple comments ago?

            You want to speak about entitlement while demanding that Person A should receive aid before Person B when nobody was even talking about that to begin with?

            Textbook projection.
