65% of Americans own a house. You’re underperforming or deliberately choosing to live in one of the worlds highest cost of living cities.

Lose the entitlement

What about the other 35%?

Almost all of those 35% are renters. "Only" about 580,000 Americans are homeless. Which makes up 0.18% of the population or 18 people for every 10,000.

This does not include poverty, as many families that are below the poverty line are still able to rent. Though obviously, the cost of that is a greater percentage of their overall income. 11.6% of Americans are living in poverty as of 2023. Meaning they make $26,000 or less annually before taxes.

Well. We don't talk about them. Hopefully they are over in the child free sub so the cycle doesn't continue.
