The threshold household income where a family can afford housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation without relying on means-tested benefits is a lot higher than the official stats suggest.

    My household makes good money and ya, if you include housing, it’s gonna take a lot more money for us to afford our own place.

    There is seemingly few things as broken and fundamental as current generations inability to own the place they live. Housing does not have to be this expensive, the paperwork doesn’t have to be so hard, and the houses do not have to be made of cardboard to be economical.

    We need to limit house ownership to those who live in it until everyone has their first.

        Just fucking tie the taxes to a logarithmic scale based on the amount of properties an entity owns. It’s too easy of a solution.
