also what seems to me a weird lack of delivery options
I've been pondering lately on the interconnectedness of this and the fact that (in the US, but I get the impression that it's increasingly true in other parts of the world) everybody thinks they need to own a huge truck. Some of it's weird macho BS, but I think some of it's genuinely "but what if I need to move a refrigerator?"
In re: the cost of living, I feel like a nice* apartment has been $300 a month out of my reach for my entire adult life. Though now it may be more like $500.
*And my standards for "nice" aren't all that high.
