    So if I get married and move into a new house and we now have two incomes, so we decide to rent the old house instead of selling it… the answer is death by hanging? For both of us? Kids too? My parents helped me buy the first house… they culpable as well?

          You wanna talk about reasonable.

          Nowhere in the continental US can a person afford rent on minimum wage working a full time job. Not one state.

          And it’s the fault of landlords jacking up prices because they could get away with it. Not just them. But the problem existed before Covid. Before Private Equity got the idea to buy everything.

            This is wrong. You’re talking about the fact that a single person living alone on average cannot afford average rents in any state, but rents can be found at below average prices, and more importantly, many 2-3 room options are affordable when 2-3 minimum wage workers live together and combine their incomes. Living alone is a luxury and frankly, a quite wasteful one. There are more than twice as many people than houses in the USA source so to have everyone living alone would require considerable ruinous environmental destruction and expansion. Maybe YOU should be hanged for suggesting it! (I’m kidding of course)

            And it’s the fault of landlords jacking up prices because they could get away with it.

            Proof? Evidence? You’re going to need to be pretty damn convincing if you want me to join your rally to hang everyone involved.
