I would love for the market to plummet where I’m at. Housing as an investment that outpaces wage is a primary problem here, if it crashed maybe half my income wouldn’t go to rent, and more and more people wouldn’t be pushed to the streets while people’s “investments” sit around empty, as they search for the perfect petless, 6 figure making tenant.
But because of that you are against the idea that it just shouldn’t take 20 years of saving and 10 years of payments for someone to have a decent home?
Honestly, that would be great news, and I hope you know many Americans would support deregulation of zoning laws for exactly this effect. A drop in housing prices is exactly what we need. People treating home ownership as an investment are the problem, home ownership should be more like owning a car: it’s a commodity, not an investment. We should not be subsidizing poor financial decisions, I feel bad for everyone wrapped up in it, but ultimately the system we’re in has been broken for a long, long time

Why don’t you just come right out and say you hate poor people?

I have lived in poor areas more than once. They were not crime ridden. So yes, that is controversial.
But I do love that your solution is for for poor people is to buy a home in what you say is a crime ridden area. Yeah, you really don’t hate them.

I lived in South Gate, California, which borders Compton and Watts. Where have you lived?
