Blight 3.0 the 2031 Cul-De-Sac Collapse.
(Full article in comments)
Impossible Housing- maybe we will start producin attainable housing in the city when the ones that WILL needed the most are impacted and need to move back to the core.
HOT TAKE #1 of 11 FOR KC METRO
---------
KC METRO IS 7TH HIGHEST IN THE NATION FOR AI JOB DISPLACEMENT. (110,000 jobs in 2024 study)
THE CUL-DE-SACS WILL THE NEW BLIGHT 3.0 HQ.
---------
The cul-de-sac isn’t immune — it’s next, because Impossible Housing spreads fastest where household math is tight.
I wrote this piece a little over a month ago.
A week after I posted Anthropic CEO said 50% of every white collar jobs will be non needed.
And even the last 30 days the day that seems like it's getting worse.
AI is coming for white collar jobs, white collar communities, and white collar resources.
Attainable housing is needed now, in all communities around Kansas City need it today, but here is a wild take:
What if the community that will need it the most is a community that typically rejection shuns housing and affordability?
Introducing to you Blight 3.0.
Think "Get Out" but for the communities some of y'all call home today.
The suburbs aren’t fragile because they’re weak.
They’re fragile because the math is tight and they will be under water.
One white-collar family:
A $550,000 mortgage.
-- Two car payments.
-- Childcare
-- Insurance.
-- Groceries that don’t stop climbing.
One income is displaced by AI (layoff, cut, consilidation):
-- Six months later, the savings are gone.
-- The mortgage becomes the domino
-- Twelve months later, the forced sale resets comps.
-- Eighteen months later, the “safe neighborhood” has a new baseline price.
NOW SCALE IT.
If 50 families in one subdivision get hit with layoffs, that’s not “a few bad situations.” That’s a neighborhood devaluation event.
One house loss blights a family. Fifty homes blight a neighborhood. A few neighborhoods blight a district. And a few districts blight a region’s economy.
That’s how blight spreads when it wears a clean white-collar shirt.
AAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
