I’m not saying it’s a good thing, per se, but it is uniquely an “American thing”. Unlike most other places in the world, most people’s wealth is tied up in their home in the US. That’s just how it is right now and if people can’t afford them, they stay poor.







Yeah it’s bullshit. Unfortunately, it’s how people gain wealth in America. It’s one of the many reasons redlining largely black districts, for example, is so fucked. It’s kept black people in poverty and is one of the main reasons why there is such a wealth disparity by race.
