Really struggling with this today. I'm sure this is all part of the long-standing plan by the rich to roll back what the working class was able to gain from the '30s -'70s in the US, but I feel like at least if I were in this position in the '70s, I could have found a cheap place to live and just survive as close to the bone as possible.
Now you can't afford to rent and you'll be persecuted endlessly by the housed if you live in a vehicle or live on the street. You cannot be anywhere.
@meganL Until the 1990s, you could buy a house for the price of a nice car now (said house would be small). But that was before people were investing in mortgage-backed
securities. Now they are doing the same with car loans & the days of decent cash cars are fast disappearing.
Sadly, I see lots of places pushing the idea of renting everything (house, car, furniture and even clothes). Good for investors I guess, but bad for everyone else when it is no longer possible to own anything.
@Laplantgenetics I feel like this is yet another thing analogous to the enclosures...the rich are against any resources that help everyone else resist them (also against anything they think they're entitled to corner the market on).
