^ the issue of why it hurts isn't really one that could be applied to any city. I think as the prices go up in the neighborhoods that everyone wants to live in, that they'll look to other areas. That might already be happening as LVDW has on his own properties.

In chicago, a 23 year old who can only afford $750/mo might actually still be able to live in Lake View. On the flip side, you can take NYC as an example. A lot of people have moved to areas in Queens and Brooklyn simply because the prices are too high in the areas they might want to live. This has led to gentrification in areas that 20 years ago nobody would have thought twice about moving as a "young professional"
