Reply to comment by -Ok-Perception- in homeownership rate will be over 80% in the future because everyone will be able to own at least a small condo in low cost of living places due to remote work and indoor living. by Pitiful-Internal-196

Home ownership in USA has fluctuated between 60-70% for decades now and was a lot lower in the past.

But don't let the facts get in the way of your rant.

This. People like to jump up and down, but the reality is that homeownership rates are statistically normal.

I understand your point, and I know a quick google search might show the same. But are we really considering an imgur link to a picture of a graph that i could make with excel and no other links leading to hard data, a source that we take seriously?

I think people are much more likely to look at an image than read a link, but anyway.

It's interesting to me that people have extremely strong views on something which if they googled it for 20 seconds they would know is wrong.

People prefer anger over facts these days.

And they are downvoting you for pointing out the truth lol it’s fucking depressing… It’s easier to tell yourself that nothing is your fault and the system makes it impossible for you rather than face more uncomfortable possibilities.

It's happening a lot these days. Emotion over common sense, which means no real solutions for problems are found, just what makes people feel better.
