So....where did all the small and cheap homes go? We're bot complaining because we can't afford mcmansions, we're complaining because nothing's affordable. Even the 1 br condos are $300k and have a $400 monthly HOA fee
TNG then TOS, then release order is the best TBH. you can throw in TAS whenever you want after you've seen TOS. I's good for when you're high. don't listen to the people who tell you to skip enterprise it's good. watch the frist two seasons of discovery, then you can watch more discovery or strange new worlds. lower decks is any time after voyager, which is during or after DS9 which you must have seen TNG for and TOS for maximum enjoyment

violent crime rates are higher in red states, which makes sense since their policies lead to more poverty and poverty leads to desperation which leads to walking into a liquor store with a gun and demanding the cash in the register because the landlords gonna file for eviction soon and you're outta options
it's just like TNG and TOS but with literally no episodes that aren't straight bangers. I've seen the whole first season and some of the second and it's a hard choice between this and DS9 as best trek ever. watch the first episode and see what you think. you'll like it
