1. It is only impossible if you think it is. Live below your means and save your money. if you can afford rent you can afford a house.

2. Bidenomics baby!

3. And the far right extremists libertarians tech bros are after the people who already own houses….you know…those ‘evil ‘ boomers who don’t want to surrender what took them 30 years to build….

   It’s ‘like’ allowing property ownership only to the 0.1% is the foundation of feudalism…..🤑

   Far right extremists libertarians tech bros dismantling America economy system…🤢

6. Where is the dad?

7. Everything is getting more expensive, wages are not keeping up, mass poverty and homelessness. However, we need to ignore it all because it doesn’t fit into the narrative capitalists have invented that everything is perfect.

8. It’s possible just depends on the area. I’m punching my first home in Houston next year!!!!

9. The US could achieve high quality housing for everyone, but effective solutions would require relenting on the entrenched cultural construct of celebrating personal ownership, which has never been as universally accessible or beneficial as it has been presented, and instead embracing more strongly social models of housing management and allocation.

11. Don’t worry, I hear the economy is doing great! /s
