do you know what it’s like to grow up in a city you love so much. but you will most likely not be able to settle down there bc you can not afford it... you can’t afford the place you grew up in bc of selfish youtubers, tik tokers and influencers.

and for them to have the balls to say it’s so fake. like of course it is you surround yourself in penthouses & alfreds coffee. take a walk in westlake or west adams. people live in the same worn down apartments for decades bc no one can afford anything else.

like deadass. i don’t think any of my friends have moved apartments in over a decade. but here influencers are bouncing around these new buildings. complaining about the dirty streets & sirens. don’t move here. you make it harder for our communities than it already is.

and yeah i’m loud on here. the programs i grew up going to struggled so much to make ends meet. bc buildings would be bought and they’d double their rent. that’s so greedy. these kids just want to make ART

seeing the amount of people reply w their stories breaks my heart
