This society is retarded. You are paying $1000+ a month just for rent. You pay $1000+ a month just to have a place to sleep and take a dump. Wtf??? Fucking stupid.
I'm all for a free market when it comes to luxuries (wifi, phone, etc.), but NOT necessities (food, water, and a roof over your head). Imagine if water bottles cost $1000 a pop? Retarded, right?
I believe humans are ENTITLED to having NECESSITIES as cheaply priced as reasonably possible. Seems priced okay with food and water, but not rent.
People shouldn't be able to make a profit off of selling property. Property should be government owned and by law should be made as cheaply possible for citizens.
If you disagree... why?
Again, luxuries should be priced at whatever the range a business wants.
Not necessities. That is abuse and retarded.
It's funny because if you think about it, so many people struggle in the u.s. 78% live paycheck to paycheck and 50% of renters are cost burdened meaning they spend over 30% of their income on rent. Median wage is very low at 18 an hr nation wide. Etc. I can go on with stats (and it is especially bad in certain areas such as LA), but if you think about it, the MAJOR problem with the u.s. isn't about schools (though schools are 99% bullshit) or low wages.
It's the cost of living. It's rent.
So..... why the fuck can't it just be made cheaply for citizens? That would literally solve one of the biggest problems in the u.s. and help poor people live modestly. Would also help end homelessness.
Why the hell is a NECESSITY so overpriced?
People need to learn the difference between a necessity and a luxury.
free markets are the most efficient ways to price goods and services. Rent controlled cities are shitholes because rent control causes all kinds of problems. Property should absolutely not be govt. owned. You really think the govt. is efficient at doing things? You want to give those corrupt fucks MORE wealth and MORE power? Absolutely retarded.

property shouldn't be gov't owned but "rent seeking" is bullshit. you should be allowed to own your own property, even multiple properties if you actually use them for vacation or letting family live there or whatever. but owning multiple properties to rent out for profit, ESPECIALLY in areas with strict building codes meaning new medium density housing is almost NEVER built, is fucking bullshit and is probably the root cause behind the drop in birth rates in the west. if people didn't have to worry so much about being able to just afford rent, maybe they'd be having more babies.
Caleb Richardson
That's an interesting point. maybe the problem is that the building codes are too strict then, though. If you don't allow landlord to rent out for profit, then who fills that gap? Not everyone wants to own their own apt, or their own property and be responsible for maintaining it. That takes time and money, or a handy man.

Having kids as an American is simply not practical when you account for the astronomical cost of an education, health care, rent, child care, etc.
Cameron Jones
It depends on where you live. If I lived in a big city I would have a hard time affording it, but "Fly over states" have some upsides to them, low cost of living is one of them.
Brandon Rogers
Shut up. You can't even offer a decent counter-argument
Adam Jenkins
You are EXTREMELY vague.
1. You just say "gov bad dur hur" and don't even list one example 2. >Rent controlled cities are shitholes because rent control causes all kinds of problems Problems such as...?
