Philly houses are like $100K back in the early 2010s
taxes were around $2000 ish per year…
So we moved from NYC and used to be renters… but now we own the house… (well I don’t have a share, its technically my parents for the time being)
So you’d think: well great! no rent anymore! perfect? Right? RIGHT?
fast forward…
Kids were more racist in school and I got bullied a lot. (I’m ethnic Chinese)
😭
I hate Philly, I rather be in NYC. 🫠
So yes, home ownership and all… but at what cost?
Ghetto ass place :/
Caused me so much anxiety and self esteem issues and probably one of the major factors into my depression.

Sorry you have to deal with that.
Culture can be a real pain in the ass and it’s especially egregious when the people who are a part of it feel no shame or remorse.
