    What you’re not getting is that’s a plus to some people. They don’t have to worry about budgeting and all of that.

    Just because you don’t get anything from a rental situation doesn’t mean no one can. I absolutely know people who have sold their houses and went back to renting because they were tired of the hassle of home ownership.

      What you’re not getting is I don’t think economic policy should be based around people with more money than sense.

      We are in a housing crises right now, the vast majority of people want to own a home but could never reasonably afford to. I don’t give a shit about the small fraction of a percent of people that find it more convenient for them.

      “I absolutely know people who never set foot in a hospital” is not an argument against healthcare.
