The question is asked: “What things were destroyed by rich people?” Join us as we explore significant events and actions that have altered history, reflecting on the consequences of wealth’s influence. Through candid stories and perspectives, we gain a deeper understanding of the responsibility that comes with affluence and the importance of safeguarding our shared heritage for the future.

Rentals and Vacations

To begin, a person shared, “I’m still salty about air BNB. You used to be able to rent a place/room to crash for a few nights for less than $100 a night, but now I’ve noticed that I could rent a hotel room for the same price and get the benefit of more privacy.”

Another person said, “Small towns where the richer people flood the area and buy a second home, which destroys the rent in the area. Causing all the people who work in the area to move farther away because they cannot afford to live there anymore.”

A third person added, “The nice vacation spots in my home state of Michigan have become too expensive because of stupid rich people.”

Natural Habitats

One user commented, “Everest. A mountain filled with trash and dead bodies because of rich tourists parading as “outdoorsmen.”

Cultural Heritage

One person responded with, “Other people’s culture.”

Another said, “Whole countries.” 

Economy

A user replied, “I would say the economy, so that’s all comes down to Greed.” 

Another user said, “Rich people destroy everything that’s popular. If they like it enough, they can make it out of reach for regular people.”

Affordable Housing

A popular comment was, “The housing market.”

Another comment was, “Condos in every Beach community you find…”

Endangering Animals

A thought-provoking comment said, “Animals. Many endangered species most likely became endangered due to rich people wanting something they have (elephant tusks, habits, etc.)”

Bye-Bye Cool Neighborhoods

A popular comment said, “All the cool, quirky, artsy towns and neighborhoods in the US. If an area becomes popular because musicians and artists (usually poor) are attracted to it, rich people come in, buy up the real estate and open up a bunch of boutiques, exclusive type stores, restaurants, and hotels. They build expensive housing developments and make it so that the creative people who made it cool can’t afford to be there anymore. Off the top of my head, I’m thinking of Santa Fe and Taos, NM. Bisbee, Jerome, Tubac, and Sedona, AZ. San Francisco, The French Quarter, NOLA, etc.”

Clothing Brands

One user replied, “Clothing brands. Carhartt, dickies, Levi’s, and many more. Like, why did a dickies t-shirt go from $15 to almost $40 in a few years.” 

Another user said, “Throw Converse Chuck Taylors on that list. They used to be so cheap.”

Foods

A response was, “Food. You find nice ingredients that are cheap, then they trend or a TV chef starts using it, and the price goes high as f*****ck.”

A second response was, “Cheap chicken wings.”

A third response was, “Cheap cuts of meat. Brisket used to be a wildly cheap cut, but recently it’s become trendy and expensive.”

Thrifting

A comment said, “THRIFTING. I thrift cause I personally don’t have enough money to buy expensive ass clothes. Now it’s an aesthetic to thrift and find these old vintage clothes and leave us, the people who actually need the clothes=, nothing. If you have the money to buy the f*****king clothes but choose to go to thrift stores, then f****ck you honestly, let us broke people have something.”

Sporting Events and Concerts

One person said, “I stopped going to professional sports because I can only afford sh****ty seats. Not worth the effort anymore.”

Another added, “Music festivals.”

Farmlands and Agriculture

One person said, “The countryside.”

Another person added, “F*****king A. You know something’s terribly wrong with the world when you can’t even afford to be a subsistence farmer.”

Public Education Opportunities

One user said, “Freee and open forums lost out to huge companies funded by investors with tons of money.”

Affordable Transportation

A comment was, “Pickup trucks drive the price out of sight with options a working man doesn’t need or want and aren’t built to handle the work trucks are made for instead made to feed the egos of men who gave up their man card with their office job.”

Political Integrity or Fairness

Someone replied, “Capitalism.” 

Finally, someone simply said, “U.S. Democracy.”
