Ben Shapiro TELLS Young Poor Americans: Just Leave

On the Triggernometry podcast this week, conservative commentator Ben Shapiro advised young people unable to afford high-cost cities like New York to relocate, referencing America's history of mobility while critiquing progressive policies under figures like Zohran Mamdani. The comments sparked criticism from conservatives including Nicholas J. Fuentes and Steven Crowder, who accused Shapiro of elitism and ignoring systemic housing issues tied to immigration and corporate greed. Defenders like podcast co-host Konstantin Kisin argued the backlash misrepresented Shapiro's focus on New York City's policy failures amid national home prices averaging $412,000 in 2025.
