That's a weird comparison. Not every household makes enough money to afford a home. I don't think home ownership is a universal human right so I don't really see the problem with this. The median household shouldn't be buying a median priced new car either
- maxsilver 9y ago> Not every household makes enough money to afford a home. I don't think home ownership is a universal human right so I don't really see the problem with this. I think this is a sad step backwards in the development of human society. It's downright dystopian. The average household should be able to own an average home (or condo/apartment, for cities). For the same reason that the average person should be able to own a toothbrush, cell phone, some clothing, and so on. This idea that it's just 100% OK that no real person could/should ever afford any housing, and every poor-middle-class person should always be beholden to renting from a private for-profit corporation forever is incredibly destructive to public finances and the ability of regular people to generate any meaningful savings or financial stability.
