Double blind testing has been done on this so none of what your essay is saying has not been tested or studied.

Putting adhd or depressed people in a paradise situation does not make them not adhd or depressed.

Ive lived in a few different countries. Societies that dont label or believe in psychology just outcast the mentally ill as weirdos and encourage them to drink away their troubles.

I was diagnosed adhd well before mobile phones. Also, mri scans show adhd so yes, it is a prefrontal cortex deficiency.

Let me give you some old man advice. Untreated adhd feels sutble to the person but its not subtle to everyone around you. You think your calm but come off like a zany, pacing autistic person or incredibly anxious. Alcohol and drugs can make you even more spazzy or impulsive.

Dont believe me? Go ask friends and coworkers how you come off. Your going to be shocked, trust me.

Every adhd person i met who told me what you just said was a spazzy mess or incredibly rigid/disciplined/control freak to counter act the adhd.

They were rarely away how much of a spazz we come off as even with treatment.

Naw, take a look at nashville which was expanding insanely fast in population. Rent rose 25% in a low CoL city.

They had a housing shortage for the past few years and removed a lot of restrictions. Recently they actually overbuilt despite a shortage of skilled construction workers.

You can build hella fast when the demand is there and the government wants buildings fast. We're talking skyscrapers in 12-14 months.

But most of those small arms suck.

In Vietnam and Afghanistan they had weapons being sent to them including stuff like artillery and mortars.

A bunch of militia with store bought guns(many pistols or hunting rifles) doesn't really compare to guys supplied with full automatics and RPGs.

It's restrictive zoning laws. Home and property owners have a zeal for politics unmatched when it comes to keeping values up.

The movement away from cities had a lot of reasons that have been solved(jobs came back, riots, red lining, less pollution, less crime) so I'd say the cultural shift was justified to return.

Commuting sucks too.

Funny, I had an airbnb(I hosted) in nashville's downtown that made that rate look dirt cheap.

Reason?

Outdated zoning laws and hotels were slow to catch up with the tourist industry.

It was crazy watching my nearby competitors(the major hotels) adjust prices like the stock market.....

$1800 a night for the last suite at the sheraton up from $250-500 normally. Bonoroo and Country Music festival held the same week is what I called "Second christmas".

The issue with rising rents is zoning laws.

Since investors can't as easily build new housing, they invest in existing ones as speculation.

If the demand is there, the skies should be filled with construction cranes and new tech investment in building cheaper, faster, etc.

Instead we slap protectionism on it so everybody fights over a smaller piece of the real estate pie.
