The first thing is, the hustle burns people out.

It is the stupidity of it all, when artists find a cheap place to live, and then all the artists find it, and make the place better, then the richer people come and buy it all up

This comes from debt based fiat currency and fractional reserve lending. Where, basically, there is never enough money to pay off all the debts, so the slowest people get whacked. Bankruptcy is an inevitability, not a happenstance. You must run as fast as you can, to stand still.

But this sits on top of a paradigm. Of property ownership. It formed when there was lots of properties and space to expand out into. Basically, the deal is, you outbid all the people who have ever come before you for a place to sleep. Instead of another system where, a new life has come into the world, we must make sure it has a comfortable place to sleep. When it turns 18, we must welcome it into the world, we must make a space for it to exist.

If you didn't notice, the boomers bought up all the good places, and when their children's children need a place, well it is, you can't have this one. (until i die) The boomers did the same with the jobs. They moved into top-middle management and no one else could move up.

OK, so now you are in a world that is ultra-competitive to just live.

The minstrel no longer needs a few coppers to rent a room for the night, he needs A LOT of money.
And basically, you have 8 days to make all your living expenses. hard.

So, you are getting tired out from this ultra-competitiveness. You want to take it easy. You want to work really hard (in a natural cycle) But this life/ money structure doesn't allow it.

There are no easy ways out, except to become exceptionally rich.
But don't worry, i would say half of the people will die here soon, and paying rent will no longer be a problem. We will have other problems.
