    People need a place to stay and not everyone has piles of cash for a down payment. Vote for the change you want, but in this system we need rentals.

      Those rentals should be a social project not a profit driven one.

        There’s more demand for rentals then there are government resources to provide social projects.

              What makes you think I don’t? Greed wins every time.

            Fuck taxes, the government needs to control all money and pay for all our needs. Anything left over can be split evenly among everyone.

              Do you trust anyone to do that? How do you think we ended up with billionaires? By people being gracious? Too many people are too greedy for that to work.

      There should be options for people to rent. Personally, I don’t want to own a house any time soon. That’s a lot more maintenance and repairs I’m responsible for that I don’t want. BUT, the reason it costs so much for people to purchase houses in the first place are because too many people are purchasing multiple properties as an investment, creating an artificial housing shortage. There now aren’t enough houses available for the amount of people who want to buy them, so the price skyrockets. Down payments are typically a percentage of the overall cost. Overall cost goes down, the pile of cash you need to begin is a lot smaller.
