The era of the American dream as it pertained to post-World War Two expansion for the poor and middle class with good jobs and the ability to afford a home is dead. In the present, discussion about dreaming may have replaced doing as there are no longer clear and present opportunities to advance.
The population of the United States was much smaller following the end of the Second World War- about 144 million, land was cheaper, homes and aspirations for average people smaller, and the difference between the rich and poor not too great since F.D.R. had set the upper tax bracket at 90%.
In the low-tax Internet era with high speed quantitative trading and globalization native American dreams have preponderantly passed away into history. The build now is for the consolidation of wealth and rich globalists buying up everything. The capacity to prevent the construction of low cost homes or storage units is inherent for those able to afford opulent, expensive structures hence construction is generally designed to enhance the wealth of the most rich.
Obviously, innumerable social niches exist in such a large nation immigrants can find while serving the interests of the most rich. Those niches may practically seem like the American dream-for-foreigners.
