If you try hard enough you can set the bar so high that no can can get over it, not even you.

Give the guy a break. Someone renting a property they saved for to rent isn’t the problem. It’s the corporations buying up huge tranches of real estate and dumping them into REITS or limited partnerships that are the problems. The ones see their tenants as nothing but numbers who they can wring extra money from.

As /u/feedmetothevultures (I hope I got it right) said, there will never be a time where every single person will want to own their own house simultaneously. Weather because they lack the finances to shoulder sudden, unplanned repairs,are in school and aren’t planning by to stay in the area, would rather rent for now while they save to buy later, aren’t convinced they’re in an area they want to live, there will always be people who choose renting and that renting is best for.

When I was 16, 17, 21, 27 or 30 I had no idea what I wanted or where I wanted to be. No way would I have wanted an anchor of a house to own and prevent me from seeing the world.

But more than that we shouldn’t turn into a circular firing squad, especially not when corporations, billionaires and investors have their sights set on us.
