CAN WE BAN "I'M LOOKING FOR HOUSING CAN YOU TELL ME WHERE TO LIVE" POSTING ALREADY

Every single day in this subreddit we get some form (and usually 2-3 of them) of post that says "wow I would love to live in Orange County, I have a job that makes 35k/year and I've never lived on my own and don't want a room mate" and then the ensuing comments are swarmed with bots, a few well meaning people, and a shit load of trolls.

I get that craigslist and zillow can be confusing when you aren't from around here, and the thought to ask the local subreddit for suggestions may be a good first thought but in reality these posts are just a pain in the ass to see every single day. More often then not OP does not make enough money or understand the area well enough to move here and they get defensive, or they get into a million little flame wars in the comments by people who might mean well but can't really help because OP is thinking of a fantasy situation.

There is a subreddit for every town in this county and I feel like everyone can do enough of their own research and find those subs to ask these questions in. Maybe those subs will ban these posts too. Who knows.

But "I want to move to the place that is known for it's famous beaches and Disneyland in the north and being an enclave for the rich and also it's famous beaches in the south without room mates into a 1500 sq ft apartment with 2 bedrooms with W/D in unit and my budget is $2,000/month and I've never heard of a safety deposit before" is becoming way too commonplace.

There's my thoughts this morning.
