And way too many have been built on the previously unoccupied vicinity of the nice, private, out of the way, and QUIET location of the cabin. Overbuilding and overdevelopment, as well as putting the cabins into some company’s short term rentals list can 100% ruin the peaceful atmosphere of a beloved vacation spot.

No apartments either hud is a mess after covid and average wait list is 2 years. I live on ssi I can't pay 600 dollars a month and pay bills and I don't qualify for elderly housing yet.

How does that work? In the UK you need a referral from someone like the council, social worker or a health professional. They look at your circumstances, you can't just turn up- I think they need to switch to doing something like that.

This one is one that is personal to me I have found much of my household goods this way now it's just cheaper to go to Walmart.

I feel like Etsy is going the same way (well, etsy wasn't always cheap, but it was unique, and you see a lot more big commercial sellers on there selling the same tat as opposed to the handmade crafts etc it started out for)

The opposite though for antiques: items that used to be worth more are now not because of the ability to price compare. For example, I collect items that at one time we’re going for $50 but 20 years later are now 10. I assume it’s because they’re just more readily available now?

Went to a "farm shop" thing in The Cotswolds a couple of weeks ago where everything they sell is much cheaper in Tesco.

Yuppy is so 1980ish.

The last concert I went to cost me £20 for the ticket. Plus another £20 or so for a t shirt

Yep tech bros and rich people ruined Burning Man. They helicopter in to their luxury "glamping" sites.

Bought one and found out it WAAAAY more problems than an easy diy aesthetics update. Foundation repair, new roof and new driveway alone cost near 20k. Nevermind inside repairs, updates and painting. ALWAYS get your foundation inspected prior to buying. It is not a cheap fix.

I remember when Van Life was just homeless with a van

yeah, a cool $50k for a new pickup now

Because if you're an "artist" it is hip to live in a loft downtown which costs more than an apartment.

Yep dickies too. Lot's of durable clothes that were designed for physical labor.

My friend's grampa was from Newfoundland. They were poor so they had to eat lobster every day.

And oysters were a cheap snack

Lobster, scallops, oysters, crabs. Trash food, peasant food, “poor people” food. Then the rich got ahold of it, and to be fair some people realized they could make a f@ck tonne of money selling it to the rich.

Roaches of the sea...

The oceans are already massively overfished. Supermarkets here have tried offering the less desirable fish at lower prices, but the demand just wasn't there. People aren't willing to cook sardines or sprats, or deal with fish that are bony. Salmon runs across the world have been destroyed, many of the rivers are too polluted by the run-off from farming the cheap meat and produce everyone is clamoring for. Farmed salmon is a whole other problem, causing pollution, disease, and adversely affecting the viability of wild stocks.

I hate serving so many boutique drinks now 😆 it was kinda fun at first when a few would pop up in work. Then fast forward to the past few years and the whole damn fridge is full of names no one really knows, creaming soda flavoured beer. Hipster IPAs and the one that boggled me the most 😆 the revival of gin and aperol, but to be fair it was fun to actually use the bottle after 20 yr of that sitting on shelves all over the country. But now there’s more than 50 gins and then there’s vodqueila, teqbourbon and omg

Skirt steak used to be an inexpensive cut of beef back in the day, but needed some care to cook it because it could be tough. Then the era of TV chefs began and those chefs showed the world that you could make skirt steak tender and juicy when it was made right. People who had never had it before, loved it. And just like everything else, when it became more popular and demand was great, prices went up. Now, skirt steak is actually somewhat difficult to find in the grocery store because people buy it up so fast. 😕

RVs are camping? Since when? That's hotel-ling on wheels.

Rich people themselves did not ruin that. Mortgage lenders and appraisers did. With a help from a few of their friends..

Look at Sedona AZ. Same thing. Laguna beach- used to be this sweet, laid back town with run down cottages, Now only rich People.

I don't get the rock comments. were they like throwing rocks at her house or something?

Can we talk about Converse too? They used to be the cheap option.

Yeah what makes you happy is up to you. Rich people didn't ruin life. I will say they make life harder. Yes very poor here.

Ironic cos most of us artists are amazingly broke

nah, anyone can watch it, I just think it's f*****g ridiculous how much these teams spend on players. Also, you're supposed to support your "local" team.. yet.. none of your team is local anymore because they paid like 30 million to get a player from the other side of the country or some s**t.

I have learned how to recreate high end menus thanks to my son and sister (lost my sense of taste and smell due to Covid) so why go out when I can do it at a fraction of the cost. *L*

McDonald's prices have absolutely zero to do with rich people ruining them. Or whatever the OP is blaming rich people for.
