I understand where you're coming from, and hope you've not been given the idea that I'm idealizing the past - I'm only alive today because the present isn't the past. Weird to bring up.. Marc Andreessen of all people as authority after that. Not the pull I'd expect

I don't think there's ever been a panacea, and things have always been been rougher for anyone not white. But I do think that everyone's getting choked out by housing and inflated asset prices in ways that no living generation has. Since '85 rent has gone up 325% more than incomes. I understand you wrote a lot, but don't take what I said and extrapolate my other beliefs - I'm a much more complex person.
