Renters pay extra for lack of liability.

This is an idealist fantasy where they’re assuming that the housing market is an idealized marketplace where people are looking for a place to live and decide between their options of renting and buying and weigh out the pros and cons. Maybe that’s true for certain PMC’s who make a lot or have duel incomes or both, but the reality is that a lot of people don’t have the option to buy because they don’t have a downpayment.

I just looked it up and the median savings of an American household is $5300. The median home price is $350,000. So even a modest downpayment of 10% is unattainable for at least half of people.

It’s the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances’ admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
