I'm not recommending you to buy a house above your rwnge just adding to the conversation about housing prices in those neighborhoods. I'm assuming you have a sufficient down payment for the price range you mentioned. You may be better suited renting a room or cheaper apartment and adding to your savings. With interest rates where they are, it might make sense to wait for rates to come down in the next 2-3 years as it could save you a significant amount in the long run of it's a place you plan to live in for 10+ years

>But yes, historically speaking the past few decades, there has been little movement on labor rights as the rich pour money into campaigns.

I'd actually argue that following labor taking blow after blow from the 90s-2000s, there's been a massive labor push back.

Unionization efforts and popular support for unions are the highest we've seen in decades.

OR, the people who actually want police reform can just call themselves police reformers instead of ACAB.

Because ACAB has the pretty strong connotation that policing = Cops bad.
