Why?
I mean that as a serious question. Housing costs in the US are absurdly front-loaded compared to renting, but they didn't used to be and there are other countries where they aren't. Why "should" housing be so expensive that six months or a year or careful saving on a living wage isn't enough for a down payment?
- alistairSH 4y agoIf you’re earning a living wage, you don’t need government assistance to avoid homelessness.
- crooked-v 4y agoIf you started earning a living wage this month, kicking you out of your current home immediately isn't going to make it easy to keep it.
- alistairSH 4y agoI’m not sure what that has to do with Section 8 recipients buying homes?
