    It’s high time we get over this notion that in America, you rent for a couple years, save money, and then buy a house. It is simply not possible anymore. The only people buying houses are people that have a house to sell.

    We are lifetime renters and we live in a community with lifetime renters. Some of us even have GASP kids in an apartment.

      Which is especially fucked up considering how large the US / Canada is and how much space there is.

      Politicans are artificially keeping supply low which fucks all the young people, but appeases the Boomers.
