    I’ll never understand people like this. Most of us will never own a home at this rate. Yet there are folks, who already own their home, who are complaining they can’t switch their home like it’s some trading-card game. They’re part of the problem.

      Yup, I’m a total cocroach and the scum of society for wanting to have somewhere that me and my pregnant wife can live with room to grow with the little one.

      I suppose we should decide to not sell and instead rent it out at extreme rates? Or perhaps raise a child in a place who would never have a room of their own?

      I fully acknowledge that I’m privileged to have gotten a decent job and we happened to be in the right place at the right time, but comparing a single family trying to better their circumstances to the oligarchs and international entities who hoard land and homes for profit is a shit thing to do.

        You’re not a cockroach, but you should have considered attempting to move before conceiving. You were in a privileged position, not because you were capable enough to find a decent job, which you are and should be proud of, but that you have a whole home for your family already. No one forced you to add an additional member, and thus feel overcrowded. There are consequences to your decisions.

        I’m not comparing you to an oligarch, but you have to understand that many young adults who want to own just their first home simply can’t.

          Holy fuck man. Fuck off and go eat the rich. I’m not your enemy. You are owed no explanation or glimpse into the YEARS of family planning and medical problems we’ve faced to be where we are now. Just because someone is able to squeak their way into the game the world leaders play is not an attack on you.

            Sorry, I forgot you’re the exception to the rule. No one else has ever had to deal with medical issues preventing them from having children, as well as not having a home. You’re the main character and everyone else can “fuck off”.

            I’ll let you get back to your little pity party, dealing with the effects of your choices. I hope you can make a nice profit on your current home, since that’s clearly what you want.
