I don't disagree with the points made or the data.
But, people thinking they can't afford children doesn't mean they can't. It means they can't imagine that it's possible while they live the same lifestyle.
It requires sacrifice. It requires liefestyle change. It requires building relationships in your life you can depend on.
Move out to the burbs or close to family into whatever space you can afford. Cut costs. Don't pay crazy amounts for daycare. Be your own daycare. Find parent groups that work together. It will be tough and hard choices will have to be made.
But, people have been trained to think life should be easy, convenient. They don't want to give up what they have. Self-worship instead of sacrifice.
