TL;DR: Americans now need to make $120K a year to afford a typical middle-class life and qualify to purchase a home. Minimum.

    You guys really do build giant soulless houses in empty suburbs and think that living in an apartment is a crime against humanity

      I would love to live in apartment if every one I ever lived in didn’t have neighbors blasting their music at 3am.

      Because living surrounded by lifeless cement is crime against humanity. People need home, not voluntary prisons.

          You can have houses without sprawl.

          Both apartments and houses have their merit, both can exist as a viable shelter that fulfills people’s needs. We don’t need to argue over which things corporations and greed took from us is better.
