The Millennial Affordability Crisis is f'ing real.

- college in the 2000s
- apartments in the 2010s
- houses in the 2020s
- stocks in the 2030s
...

This generation is like an elephant of sector-by-sector micro-inflation passing through the snake of lifecycle purchases. https://t.co/mOxpVZQ5zo

You can automate warehouses -

You can automate warehouses - Wendy's still not there. You won't automate much of healthcare, childcare, education, housing, even fire protection & policing. Growing food has some efficiencies, but still far from robot grown for most things. Even cars & trucks won't be full self-driving til 2039 or later. Our biggest automation is annoying marketing, which is largely self-congratulatory.

The four most important things in a big northern city are, in alphabetical order, fire protection, garbage collection, police protection, and snow removal. Give citizens a clean, safe city and, for the most part, they will take care of themselves economically. Get any one of those things wrong and your reign will be a failure.

@pH7 Those are important. But so are health care, child care, education, decent housing, and having enough to eat. Unfortunately having a clean safe city doesn't guarantee these other things.
