    You people realize a supermajority of Americans own their own home, right?

    And that the very premise of the meme is that the single mother could afford to place a bid that was beaten by an investment firm and not another individual?

    You’d be shocked what you can afford outside of a major city, which is one of the reasons why WFH is what everyone should be fighting for for any industry that can feasibly do it.

      There are 161 million homes privately owned by their occupants in the US, if so may I see a citation of that?

        You just cited the numbers yourself, my guy.

        Most home owners/people that live in their own home are families but not all, and the idea of the wife keeping the house (and the equity that would let them bid on another if they need to move) is practically a meme itself.

            You, yourself, said there are 161 million privately owned homes in the US.

            What is the current population of the US, and do you think there is a one person per home limit to residence?

              Somebody hasn’t played cities skylines 2. It’s all single occupant housing.

              Real actual answer: only one state has an average occupancy of 3 people to a house, Utah, and the rest don’t crack that number. Our most recent census (that thing almost none of your friends replied to) shows more than 3 times the ACTUAL number of privately owned homes in 2021 (83 million), and you could’ve had these same statistics in front of you and verified in seconds if you actually gave a shit about information instead of just arguing like a parrot.

              I asked if there were. Asked does not mean tell. Also you are not goal posting moving.

                No, you said “There are 161 million privately owned homes in the US,”

                You can tell that isn’t a question because we have these things called question marks.
